International Programming Competition Launches: These are the winners' cash prizes Israel today

2022-05-22T14:46:38.829Z


The Israeli quantum computer company Classiq has launched the first global quantum programming competition of its kind that calls on developers from all over the world to write software for the field. • Co-founder and CEO of Classiq said that "the competition will encourage creativity and ingenuity among participants"


"The competition will encourage creativity and ingenuity among the participants

," said Nir Minervi, co-founder and CEO of the Israeli quantum computer company Classiq, which launched a first-of-its-kind global quantum programming competition this week, calling on developers from around the world to write software for the field.

"The Apollo was flown to the moon with a very simple computer of only 72K. So to compile complicated calculations you do not necessarily need huge software. That is why we entered a short software writing competition for the quantum field. Today quantum computers are only stable for a short time, "They knew how to take advantage of the field and innovate in it," said Yuval, a graduate of Classiq's marketing director, in a conversation with Israel Today.

As mentioned, the company will award prizes to developers who will develop the most efficient quantum circuits that will help solve real problems the world is facing.

Quantum computers now have limited resources, and therefore it is critical to develop compact and optimal solutions that will get the most out of these resources. 

"Building efficient quantum computer algorithms combines engineering and art. The competition is a call for the entire quantum computer software developer community to demonstrate their knowledge and prove that such computers can lead humanity to new heights," said Nir Minervi, co-founder and CEO of Classiq.

Nir Minervi added that "the need to build elegant and efficient algorithms will continue in the coming years. The competition will encourage among the participants the creativity and ingenuity required for this to happen, and illuminate the possible art of creating compact and efficient circuits."

Solve 4 problems by using short algorithms 

The competition includes four problems that require solutions, and the winners will receive 17 cash prizes.

The first-place winners in problem solving will each receive $ 3,000, while the second- and third-place winners in each problem will receive $ 1,500 and $ 500, respectively.

Among other things, Classiq will also be handing out $ 1,000 prizes to the creators of the most innovative solutions, as well as to the most promising participants under the age of 18. The profiles of the first-place winners will be published in the world's leading quantum media The Quantum Insider. 

The jury for the competition consists of prominent figures from the worlds of quantum computing: Nir Minervi, co-founder and CEO of Classiq; Josia Biorgard, high-performance computing and quantum computing, Amazon AWS; Dr. Sebastian Sanj, Accenture Europe's Quantum Computing Incubator;

Bob Sorensen, Chief Computing Analyst at Hyperion Research;

And Ross Payne, Director of Corporate Fuel Partners.
