CST4040 Advanced Topics in Computer Science Assessment 1 (Quantum Information Processing)
The following table provides an overview of the assessment requirements.
Assessment Brief
Submission date, time
The final (assessed) submission is due in week 13. The report should be submitted online by 11.59pm on Thursday, January 16th, 2020. Submission takes place online via the Turnitin system. The Turnitin system and other tools will be used to identify plagiarised work.
Feedback type & date
Formative feedback will be provided in class in Week 8.
This feedback will consist of: advice on resources to use when creating the work; support in identifying and selecting items of knowledge to focus on; and advice on any aspect of the coursework not understood by students. Additional feedback can be provided after week 8 and before the deadline if required. Please email to arrange.
Summative Feedback Dates
Summative feedback for the poster will be available 15 days after the date of submission.
Word count
Not Applicable.
Assignment structure, format and details
In groups of four or five, confirmed in advance, create an A2 conference poster on Quantum Programming.
Your poster should start with an introduction to Quantum Programming. Download Microsoft QDK and run a few Q# examples, including Quantum Teleportation. Read the short research paper “Describing and Simulating Quantum Protocols”, which was accepted at the 19th Asian Quantum Information Science (AQIS) Conference in Seoul, South Korea in August 2019. This paper is available on Unihub. Summarise qtpi, which is presented in this paper, and Q#. Compare and contrast the two languages and their implementations, using Quantum Teleportation as a case study. Include a few key references.
When creating your poster please consider your viewers/audience. There might be non-experts attending the poster presentation. What might you need to explain in more detail in order to help them understand the topic?
The groups are expected to do a presentation based on the poster at a future date (to be announced).
Each group will give a 10-minute overview of their poster. There will be a question and answer session of 15–20 minutes, where any member of the group may be asked to explain any aspect of the poster, including details of quantum teleportation and demonstration of Q# examples. The presentations will be appraised by staff (and possibly, peers). Each group will reflect on the feedback received.

You should submit the poster, online via UniHub – My Learning. Do not submit last minute. It is better to submit early and then resubmit. The latest work submitted by the deadline will be taken to be your final version.
Please ensure you have not simply copied the work of another group or plagiarised from any other source(s). TurnitIn will be used to detect plagiarism and reports with a similarity index of more than 15—20% will likely be penalised. The ideas and work of others must always be identified and appropriately referenced. The presentation will be used to assess your knowledge.
