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!
