The Blaise Pascal Quantum Challenge
Take on the challenge with Pasqal and drive real change! Use quantum AI to address key sustainability issues and develop impactful solutions for a resilient future. Are you ready to make an impact?
How to leverage quantum AI for a sustainable future?
Five Challenges
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.
