Description

The easiest way to do it is to prepare two entangled registers that will yield the necessary distribution. We'd need to focus on coming up with interesting tasks that cover different scenarios, and then use the skills the learner got from the Superposition kata.

Here is a relevant QuantumComputing StackExchange question.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the concept of entangled registers and correlated measurements. Create tasks that ask learners to generate random numbers with specific correlations using the Superposition kata as a starting point. Refer to the StackExchange link for examples.
