How It Works

Four-Layer Proof-of-Work Grading

Not a quiz. A multi-layer cryptographic proof that you understand quantum computing.

1
Write Real Circuits
Submit Qiskit, Cirq, or PennyLane code. Each assignment has personalised parameters — your Grover oracle marks a different state than anyone else's.
2
Simulator Execution
Your circuit runs on a real quantum simulator. Scored by TVD (Total Variation Distance) against the exact expected output — not keywords.
3
Knowledge Challenge
Two questions generated about YOUR specific code choices. 2-minute timer. Proves you understand what you built, not just copied it.
4
Cryptographic Certificate
Your cert's Proof-of-Work hash is the Merkle root of all your submission chain hashes. Tamper-proof. Employer-verifiable in one API call.

What Quantum Devs Say

"Finally a cert that forces you to actually know quantum computing. I tried to copy a Bell circuit from Stack Overflow and it flagged my uniqueness score at 0.0. Fair."
M
Marcus K.
PhD Student, TU Munich
"Added my QForge cert to my LinkedIn. Recruiter at IBM messaged me the next day asking for details. The cryptographic proof-of-work angle was a real conversation starter."
S
Shreya P.
Quantum Software Engineer, IonQ
"We use the Employer API to verify certs during hiring. Took 10 minutes to integrate into our ATS. This is how certifications should work in 2026."
