NU-ACM Quantum-AI Hackathon
Current practical quantum computers have a strong potential to enhance AI through hybrid classical-quantum systems. That hybrid system fits nicely with the current quantum technology limitations. This event aims to introduce this emerging paradigm to Egypt, through hackathon-based learning. We only assume an AI development background and zero quantum computing knowledge!
Hackathon Objective
The main objectives of the hackathon are:
- Build a Thriving Quantum Community in Egypt: Establish the NU-ACM Quantum-AI Hackathon as a premier event, fostering a network of enthusiasts and propelling Egypt's advancement in quantum computing.
- Democratise Quantum Computing Knowledge: Foster a deeper understanding of quantum computing concepts and technologies among participants from diverse backgrounds.
- Networking: Facilitate networking opportunities between participants, industry professionals, and researchers to build professional connections and explore potential career paths in quantum computing, in general.
- Facilitate Innovation: Through the hackathon challenges, aim to identify and explore the potential applications of quantum-AI in various real-world domains (e.g., materials science, finance, drug discovery).
- Skill Development: Provide hands-on experience with relevant software tools and libraries in quantum computing and AI, allowing participants to develop practical skills and proficiency.
Participants
The hackathon is open to anyone interested in quantum computing and AI, including students, researchers, and enthusiasts from computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, and other relevant fields to explore the exciting and rapidly evolving world of quantum computing with AI.
