We welcome you to participate in our global quantum jam “QJam2021” held online from Friday, Nov 26 to Sunday, Dec 5. We thank Unitary Fund and Faculty of Computing (University of Latvia) for their support.
QJam2021 is open to students, quantum enthusiasts, researchers, educators, teachers, artists, writers, designers, animators, software developers, game developers, programmers, and others.
To inspire the participants, we will host several QJam Talks on Nov 23-25, and we will make a GitLab repo ready with several project ideas.
We use Discord as our base server for communications and Gitlab for project management. We use zoom meetings for online talks.
Participating in QJam2021 is free, but registration (see below) is mandatory.

QJam Schedule
The default time zone is UTC.

Fri (Nov 26), 17:00: The opening meeting of QJam2021
Sat-Sun (Nov 27-28): Project idea discussions, team formation, and recruitment
Mon (Nov 29): QJamming session | Several time slots will be set
Mon-Sat (Nov 29-Dec4): Working on projects | Our mentors will visit each group regularly
Sun (Dec 5), 10:00: Deadline for project submission & presentation
Sun (Dec 5), 15:00: Deadline for project evaluation
Sun (Dec 5), 16:00: Overview of QJam, completed projects, and closing remarks.

Outcomes, evaluation, and awards
We expect each group to create a presentable outcome from their ideas. Outcomes can be in many different forms such as a quantum game, an animation, comics, a short movie, a web application, a smartphone application, a new library, new functionality to jupyter notebooks, a tool for quizzing.
In the end, only the projects with presentable outcomes will be eligible for evaluation, and the members of such projects will get certificates. Both the participants (50%) and the jury (50%) will rate the projects. There will be no competition among the projects. Instead, the members of projects with high scores (out of 10) will get special certificates:

Certificate of “Excellence” for the projects with scores nine or higher
Certificate of “Distinction” for the projects with scores between eight and nine
Certificate of “Merit” for the projects with scores between seven and eight

Evaluation criteria (tentative):

Motivation (15%)
Originality (15%)
Success of implementation (20%)
Outcome (30%)
Presentation (20%)

We invite the members of each successful project to continue their work under QWorld until the end of Spring 2022.

There will be regular (e.g., every two weeks) meetings with project members.
Each group will have opportunities to interact with QWorld’s members and volunteers. Depending on the availability, we may assign a knowledgeable mentor to your project.
We plan to have a spring QCourse on research and implementation projects. We may invite suitable projects to this course.
We help each group to prepare a manuscript or technical report to publish.
We invite suitable work to be presented at QWorld Quantum Science Days 2022.
QWorld may integrate some projects into its program based on mutual agreement.

Categories (keywords)
There are no strict categories. The list here is for giving some ideas to participants. You may see them as keywords.
Naturally, a project can have several (cross) categories.
We collect the categories (keywords) under three titles: Education, Software, and Ecosystem.
Education

Quantum Education
QJunior (with a focus on high school students)
Quantum Games
QArts such as QComics, QFiction, QAnimation, QShorts

Software

Quantum programming
Quantum software
Quantum applications
Quantum libraries

Ecosystem

Outreach
QEDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in Quantum)
(Using) free-access quantum hardware
(Helping the growth of) open quantum ecosystem

Licensing
The project details and outcomes developed during QJam2021 should be publicly available, and they should have open-source licenses such as Apache License or MIT license or CC-BY-4.0 or Educational Community License.
After QJam2021, the licensing of the new features or developments are up to the project team.
Contact us if you think the nature of your project needs some other types of licensing. We may consider exceptions after evaluating the request within our team.

Applications
Application are closed!
The deadline for the applications is Thursday, Nov 25, 2021.
The applications are open to anyone not younger than 14 years old.
A minor (younger than 18 years old) should fill its application together with her/his/their legal guardian:
We invite the participants to our Discord server starting from Nov 20, 2021.
