Winners of II All-Russian Quantum Hackathon Quant-NN Awarded at NNSU

NNU Hosts Award Ceremony for Quant-NN Winners

The winners of the II All-Russian Quantum Hackathon Quant-NN were awarded at Nizhny Novgorod State University (NNSU). The event was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region, and leading IT companies.

Innovative Solutions for Quantum Computing

The hackathon brought together over 200 participants from all over Russia who worked on developing innovative solutions for quantum computing. The participants were divided into teams and worked on projects in various areas, including quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography, and quantum machine learning.

Top Prize for Quantum Algorithm Development

The top prize was awarded to the team from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) for their work on developing a new quantum algorithm for solving linear equations. The algorithm is significantly more efficient than existing classical algorithms and could have applications in a wide range of fields, including finance, cryptography, and materials science.

Government Support for Quantum Technologies

The Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov, emphasized the importance of the hackathon in supporting the development of quantum technologies in Russia. He said that the government is committed to providing funding and resources to researchers and developers working in this field.

Building a Strong Quantum Ecosystem
