SSB Quantum Algorithm Challenge Is Going To Be Held

The Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), together with stakeholder institutions, is organising the SSB Quantum Algorithm Challenge. The competition aims to demonstrate the potential of quantum programming for solving real-world problems, to raise awareness in the field, and to contribute to the development of qualified human resources and a sustainable domestic quantum ecosystem. Solutions using quantum algorithms will be developed for optimisation and modelling problems compiled from the banking, finance and telecommunications sectors, and for sample problems derived from them.
