Sure! If you have any other questions, you can always head to the 'support-and-questions' channel in our community Slack and ask there. A Classiq expert will be sure to respond within a few hours!

Another question: are you relying on Aqora when evaluating the work or you take the notebooks from Aqora and then go over them?
The reason for asking is that Classiq's SDK is network based. From time to time API calls might fail (server overloaded, timeouts etc.). Happened multiple times today. This might be a source of error in the unattended execution scenario.
Thanks!

Hey @quantotto ! We review all submissions directly through the Aqora platform, and if there are any issues executing the code, we will download the notebooks and review them locally. There generally should not be a high number of failures due to timeouts or overloads, but if you encounter frequent errors that appear to be on our end please share them in the 'support-and-questions' board on the Classiq community Slack. Thank you!

Hello, I have submitted 2 issues with the platform: (1) one related to
plt.show() that stops the execution of aqora test. Is it ok to leave the plt.show() or we need to create images? It would be nice to keep the plots as they are because it is cumbersome to create screen shots. (2) synthesize() fails the entire execution of aqora test. Do we have an alternative route of submitting the work in case it is not fixed? Thanks

Hi @quantotto!
plt.show is fine on our backend. If you want to keep using it in the notebook but not have it block aqora test, you can add plt.ion() to your notebook or use plt.show(blocking = False). As far as synthesize is concerned the issue is related to starting an event loop in the current event loop. We can probably use a separate process to prevent the error, but I'm looking into it now and I will get back to you.

Copying here the response from Adam on Classiq's slack:
first error is about to be resolved according to Aqora, and their dev team will have a look at the second issue today. I will keep you posted!

Thanks @quantotto. I have forwarded this to @antoine and @julian. You can consider the plotting issue as resolved and we will let you know about the other one. In the worst case, you'll be able to submit in another format for which we would reach out to you. Though I am positive we can resolve this interference of classiq sdk and our cli

There was one question on the reddit for this:
I'm currently doing research about Quantum Telecommunication as a sophomore. How should I do it to get a PhD scholarship in the West. Which part do you think need to be dived deep into.

It depends on a range of factors. Generally, obtaining an undergraduate degree with strong grades from a reputable institution and completing a minor project in the field can make you eligible to apply for scholarships in several countries across the EU or the United States.
