The InQuanto™ Quantum Chemistry Challenge

The Challenge

Quantinuum, the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company, and Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) invite individuals and teams of up to five to enter The InQuanto Quantum Chemistry Challenge, to use quantum simulation methods to tackle an original computational chemistry problem of their choice that could have real-world impact. The winner(s) will each receive a cash prize of $500 and all teams will have the chance to develop their skills using state-of-the-art quantum software.

  • Intended for higher-level graduate and doctoral students from CQE’s member institutions with computational chemistry experience
  • Teams will work together to design and implement a computational solution to a complex problem in molecular or materials science that is amenable to quantum computing
  • Focus on novel problems, particularly in strongly correlated systems where classical methods fail
  • Each team will receive a month's access to InQuanto, a state-of-the-art software package supporting computational chemists for simulating industrially relevant systems with quantum computers
  • At least one member of each team must attend The InQuanto Quantum Chemistry Challenge kick-off event at the Chicago Quantum Recruiting Forum on 31 March 2023, in the William Eckhardt Research Center (5640 S. Ellis Ave.) at 2:30pm to receive further instructions.
  • With ten competition slots available, preference will be given to early applicants
