[unitaryDESIGN 2026] Quantify 101 Visual Explainer Pack (Design-Only)
Background
Quantify has strong technical tutorials, but new contributors can still struggle to build a quick mental model of the workflow. This bounty focuses on science communication: making Quantify easier to understand for newcomers through visual storytelling.
Starter links:
- README.md
- docs/source/tutorials/index.md
- docs/source/tutorials/Tutorial_1._Running_an_Experiment.ipynb
- docs/source/tutorials/Tutorial_2._Schedules_and_Pulses.ipynb
Goal
Create a beginner-friendly visual communication pack that explains the end-to-end Quantify workflow: experiment setup → schedules/pulses → acquisition → analysis/output.
Deliverables
- One-page infographic (desktop format) explaining the workflow and key terms.
- A 5-slide social carousel (or equivalent) for community outreach/onboarding.
- A short design rationale (200–300 words) explaining audience, design decisions, and how scientific accuracy was preserved.
- A source map linking each visual section to relevant docs/tutorial references.
In Scope
- Science communication and onboarding clarity.
- Information hierarchy and visual explanation of concepts.
- Accessibility basics (readable typography, contrast, alt text).
Constraints
- Open-source tools/assets only.
- No implementation/code required.
- Submit editable source files + exported assets (e.g., SVG/PNG/PDF).
- Include attribution/license notes for any external assets.
Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity for first-time users.
- Scientific accuracy and faithful mapping to Quantify docs.
- Reusability for docs/community channels.
- Accessibility and visual quality.
- Completeness of submission package.
