Quantum Brownie(s)
These recipes are generated using IBM q-composer with access to IBM Quantum Computers. The Bernstein–Vazirani quantum algorithm was used to build a system that would create recipes. With the dataset generated by a 3 qubit circuit, a brownie recipe system with over 16.7 million possibilities was created. By embracing the noise of the data and by entertaining ideas of entanglement and superposition, The first ever Quantum Cooking Recipe Collection (2022) is born.

Methods
Quantum computing is a complex system, we brought this technology into the every-day life in the form of a cooking tutorial, and a cookbook.
Quantum Cooking
The simulation of chemical properties of molecules is one of the biggest applications of quantum computation in scientific pursuit today, with use cases ranging from pharmaceutical drug testing to nuclear chemistry. New avenues of research suggesting the simulation of physical properties like smell and taste of molecules are being looked into.
We propose Quantum Cooking as a means of generating truly random recipes that embrace noise, recipes with entangled ingredients to ideally balance out flavors, and simulating the taste of recipes made with ingredients that don’t exist.
What if you could taste the Sun?
What if you could cook with asteroid dust?
Quantum cooking might just let you.

How it works
Using the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm and a basic 5 step brownie recipe and set the ingredients and cooking time as qubits [variables]. Each of these qubits [variables] could be thought off as broader group. We thought of each of these groups as qubit that held a list of alternate ingredients and cook times within it. We entangled larger bake time values with ingredients that could take longer to cook. The difficulty factor of the recipe was determined by calculating an accessibility score that we assigned to each of the ingredients based on price and location.
All of these functions formed our digital cookbook.
