This Hackaton was a first Pan-European-Hackaton on the Quantum Technologies and more especially on the telecommunications domain. Five countries have been implied;Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and France. It was not a competition but much more a moment of collaboration.
The team called "Quantum Winter" secured financial transactions by using quantum technologies as quantum gates (Hadamart, CNOT,...) quantum protocol (BB-84) , quantum properties (Entanglement, Superposition, ...), building block techniques like SWAP test, quantum one way function, etc...
The final project implemented is "Quantum-Cheque Protocol" that is present on the Quantum Protocol Zoo repository. Quantum Cheque Protocol
settings for simulaqron:
simulaqron reset && simulaqron stop && simulaqron set backend projectq && simulaqron set max-qubits 50 && simulaqron set recv-timeout 1000 && simulaqron start
to ensure swap_test is working :
python quantumwinter/swap_test.py
to start a cheque protocol holder Alice send M dollars using a quantum M$ cheque to Charlie through bank Bob :
python quantumwinter/quantum_cheque.py
