quantumbradford2025 / Clinical Trial Optimization

This competition is part of the Bradford Quantum Hackathon 2025. Please join the event on Aqora and ensure to follow the rules specified there.

Assigning subjects to treatment groups is is pivotal in experimental clinical trials for novel drugs. A critical component involves identifying distinct subject cohorts suitable for specific treatments. These cohorts should exhibit maximum similarity based on measurable covariates (or attributes), which influence individual responses to treatment, thus enabling the differentiation of treatment effects from confounding factors.

The objective of the assignment is to minimize the discrepancy between any two groups in the weighted sum of the first and second moments of the covariates.
