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.
Anyone, anywhere, can form a team. Competing teams often include startups, university groups, companies of all sizes, high school students, families, and even individuals. Teams can come from any background, including, but certainly not limited to, quantum computing, quantum algorithm design, scientific and/or technical disciplines like chemistry, material science, environmental engineering, system design and engineering, and more. We believe great ideas can come from anyone!
XPRIZE Quantum Applications has the potential to transform how we tackle some of the largest problems humanity faces — a testament to XPRIZE’s dedication to pioneering and impactful innovation. This prize brings together XPRIZE’s expertise in designing, launching and executing large-scale competitions, Google Quantum AI’s extensive knowledge and leadership in advancing quantum computing, and GESDA’s global perspective and ability to convene policymakers and experts to create change. Together, our goal is to nurture the growth of an ethical and forward-looking quantum ecosystem.
While this competition marks the initial stages of uncovering the positive impacts of quantum computing on global challenges, some aspirational examples of applications might include:
