Abbreviation "NC" stands for the book by Nielsen and Chuang, and abbreviation "W" stands for the book by Wilde.
Choose one problem set to work on (yellow or green), and you are required to work on all "Required" problems (red). Each Problem set, highlighted in one color, consists of problems from both books labeled as NC and W.
In other words, you need to be working on all problems written in two colors - red and one other: yellow or green.

Simulate quantum teleportation protocol on IBM Q Experience 5-qubit computer. One possible realization of the protocol is described here. If using this paper, make sure you fully undestand each step, which you will be explaining during the class. You may create your own realization, or find another one.

Test Practice 2

For today's class, choose one problem from either book and present its solution correctly. You may choose any problem that was not assigned for the last class (Nov 27). It could be a problem that was assigned previously or not. But choose wisely: the difficulty level of the problem will be taken into account for your final grade.
I would suggest preparing two problem, in case another student presents a similar one.
