Submission Guidelines

To ensure a consistent and effective evaluation process, participants are advised to meticulously follow the outlined submission instructions:

1. File Format

- All design source files should be compressed and submitted as a `.ZIP` archive.

2. Circuit Design & Parameters

- Provide the optimized circuits structure and the corresponding optimal parameters (Three circuits in total for three different noise models provided in Noise Model).
- Participants may utilize any platform for circuit design. However, the finalized circuit must:
 • Be rendered in `QASM` format.
 • Represent a transpiled circuit based on the give system model described in System Model.

3. Optimization Techniques & Framework

- The submission repository should manifest techniques such as:
 • Pauli grouping
 • Error mitigation
 • Transpiling optimization
- Additionally, include a dedicated notebook file that:
 • Illustrates the method to load circuits in `QASM` format.
 • Explains subsequent optimizations, e.g., pauli grouping and error mitigation.
 • Details the alignment with the qiskit estimator, allowing for its integration. It's recommended to test the framework's performance on the qiskit estimator using the supplied test seeds.

4. Documentation

- Ensure the inclusion of a `README.md` file. This document should:
 • Provide a concise overview of the requirements.
 • Detail the steps to execute the code.
To preserve the fairness of evaluation, designs will undergo standardized assessments on the qiskit estimator using ten distinct seeds.
