An expert jury to evaluate cutting-edge quantum AI projects 

Pasqal is proud to bring together an exceptional panel of experts for the evaluation of projects submitted during the first phase of the call for ideas. Our jury, composed of leading figures in quantum computing, AI, and sustainability, will assess each submission with a focus on innovation, feasibility, and impact. They will carefully select the top 15 teams to advance, and later, identify the 3 winning projects that will push the boundaries of quantum AI for sustainability.
