Google and XPRIZE Want To Accelerate Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is on the rise. And now, Google wants to find new breakthrough ways to leverage quantum computing technology to solve real world problems.

What’s happening:

  • Google and XPRIZE have launched a new competition with a $5M USD prize for finding new applications for quantum computing

Why it matters:

By the numbers:

  • The new competition from Google and XPRIZE will take place over the next 3 years
  • The ultimate grand prize winner will be awarded $3M USD, $1M USD will be shared with runner ups and the remaining prize money will be spread amongst semi finalists

Going deeper:

  • The quantum computing challenge is named XPRIZE Quantum Applications and will accept researchers globally pursuing quantum computing algorithms for real world use cases
  • Both Google and XPRIZE believe that breakthrough quantum computing research could unlock new discoveries in drug development, battery design and even engineering more efficient fusion reactors
