A starter pack for the Creative Quantum hackathon.

Hackathons live or die on the first hour. This repo gives Creative Quantum participants a 1,000-idea launchpad so you skip the blank page and start shipping.

What's inside

  • · 10 creative disciplines — dance, music, visual art, video, photo, writing, film/animation, games, theater, fashion.
  • · 100 ideas per discipline — each combining a sub-discipline with a quantum hook.
  • · A Lovable mega-prompt per idea — paste, build, ship.
  • · A Quantinuum quantum hook — the actual kernel you'd write in Guppy + run on Selene.
  • · TAM / SAM / SOM — indicative market sizing for your pitch slide.

How to use it

  1. Pick a discipline that matches your team's strengths.
  2. Skim the 100 ideas; click into 2–3 that grab you.
  3. Copy the mega-prompt into Lovable, open a new project.
  4. The prompt instructs Lovable to pip install "guppylang>=1.0" in the Linux sandbox (Guppy v1 ships Selene inside it), run a real Selene kernel at build time, and bake the output in as JSON.
  5. Every prompt also ships a verification bar — a classical baseline, a 4·√(0.5/shots) pass test, and shots/seed provenance printed beside the verdict.
  6. Results carry a receipt block (engine, shots, seed, envelope, verdict) and a dequantization gate, so an emulator run is never dressed up as hardware.
  7. Prompts also ship an experiment spec written before the run — observable, baseline, falsification criterion — plus a structural circuit audit and a four-way graded receipt (PASS / GAP / STRUCTURAL / FAIL).
  8. And they ask for a real public dataset with a triage record, and keep two verdicts apart: whether the circuit worked, and whether it actually beat the classical baseline.
  9. One safety step first: tell the build to ignore the temporary Python packages folder (.pydeps/) before installing anything — otherwise a finished build can be undone while it saves.
  10. Polish the demo, prep your TAM/SAM/SOM slide, present.

Built for 5 credits

Free-plan Lovable accounts get ~5 build credits. Every mega-prompt here is engineered to ship a real-quantum demo in a single build message — no runtime Python, no backend, no auth, no scope creep. Read the build strategy →
