Classiq’s Distribution Problem

The Log-Normal State Preparation Challenge

The Classiq Coding Competition included a Log-Normal State Preparation challenge. The real challenge — spoiler alert — was classical discretization.

Many quantum algorithms rely on initializing qubits in a specific state. The promised speedup of the algorithm depends on the ability to prepare the quantum state…
