Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Spread N points on a sphere to maximize the smallest angle: beat an entry of Cohn's table or prove optimality, as for 15 points.

Determine the quantum capacity of qubit Pauli channels; even the depolarizing channel's zero-capacity threshold is only known to lie between 0.064956 and 1/12.
Find a three-dimensional subspace of seven qubits that corrects any single-qubit error, or prove that no ((7,3,3)) code exists.
Prove that stabilizer quantum MDS codes on qudits of dimension q have length at most q²+1, apart from one even-q family, or find a longer one.
Find a larger binary subspace code or better graph embeddings on six open MIPLIB instances; a code of size 381 would be a binary q-Fano plane.
Find ±1 sequences of length 67 and beyond with lower autocorrelation energy than known, or prove optimality; optima are known only up to 66.
Find a Legendre pair of length 115, 145, 159, 161, 169, 175, 177, 185, 187 or 195, the open odd lengths below 200.
Improve the bounds on kissing numbers in dimensions up to 48, starting with dimension 5, where 40 ≤ τ(5) ≤ 44.

Prepare the 23-qubit Golay code's logical zero with fewer than 44 CNOT gates, or prove 44 optimal; at depth 7 the record is 45.
Find a Costas array of order 32, the smallest order for which none is known, or prove that none exists.

Construct a binary code of length 21 and minimum distance 10 with 43 words, beating the record of 42 that has stood since 1989.
Find a pure state of eight four-level systems whose every four-party marginal is maximally mixed, or prove that none exists.
