The object of the final project is to find a recent research article (past year or so) related to the course material, read it carefully, and write a brief (max 1-2 page is fine, or as little as a couple paragraphs) summary of its results, including some indication of how accessible it was (notation, concepts, etc.) based on material covered during the semester. The intent is to assess whether you can read and understand a topical research article at least at the 33-50% level, though it might have been incomprehensible at the start of the semester. A second possibility is a Qiskit project, as described in lec23. (more details will be given here)

These will be due on Mon 20 Dec 2021

Sample arXiv searches (try them!): CNOT, qubit, GHZ, quantum comput*, teleportation, ... , turn up things such as the list below [to be added], but feel free especially to survey references therein, or any other resource.

Below is a sample collection of articles from the past year, based on interest from bloggers or journalists, that might be of interest in themselves, or serve as a starting point (I haven't carefully confirmed that all are relevant or accessible.)
