SUMMARY:DEADLINE: XPRIZE Quantum Challenge Applications
DESCRIPTION:XPRIZE Quantum Applications is a 3-year\, $5M global competition designed to generate quantum computing (QC) algorithms that can be put into practice to help solve real-world challenges. \nQC is a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of computer science\, physics\, and mathematics that seeks to use the information processing power of quantum mechanics to solve otherwise difficult computational problems. \nCompeting teams will develop new applications for quantum computers that can address complex\, global challenges in climate\, sustainability\, health and beyond. This is a pivotal time for quantum computing; join us in shaping a future where technology meets the world’s most pressing challenges head-on. \nXPRIZE Quantum Applications is actively seeking applicants working on quantum algorithms focused on sustainability and social impact. We welcome global innovators from various fields to participate in the competition. The winning submissions will most accelerate the field of quantum algorithms towards quantum advantage for positive real-world applications. \nTo learn more\, check out our Competition Guidelines.
