How to participate

1. Sign up at our forum.
   • This is the main location for discussions and issues.
   • With the credentials from the forum you can access the documentation.
2. Checkout the documentation.
   • Install NetSquid using the installation instructions.
   • Try the getting started guide and/or tutorial to get familiar with NetSquid.
3. Be creative!
   • Think of any useful/cool/fancy NetSquid extension, a.k.a. a snippet, building upon any example shown in the documentation.
   • Here are some ideas you can implement or draw inspiration from:
     • A way to visualize a quantum network and its (sub) components.
     • A GUI to setup a quantum network.
     • A Quantum Key Distribution package (bonus: add eavesdropper Eve).
     • A snippet to play quantum games remotely. For example, implement a solution for a way to play Scrabble between any number of players without a third party, where the players can share entanglement. All players will cheat if they won’t get caught, so that should be prevented or detected.
4. Create your own.
   • For inspiration check out some of the existing snippet code repositories. A simple example is the Ping-Pong snippet based on the NetSquid in 10 minutes guide.
   • Start your own snippet repository using the snippet template.
   • Note: while we don’t require a specific license, we do strongly recommend choosing an open-source license (e.g. MIT, Apache 2.0) so your code can be freely used by the community.
5. Submit your project
   • Visit this sub-forum and post the link to your repository.
   • Note: you can of course update your submission after posting the link on the forum, but only the latest commit before the deadline will be checked for the competition.
