Quantum for social good hackathon - Bengaluru
most people hear “quantum” and think it’s too early, too complex, or only for researchers.
this hackathon is the opposite.
in 10 hours, you’ll form teams, pick a real-world problem, and build a working mvp using quantum or quantum-inspired ideas.
healthcare. sustainability. security. logistics. social impact. things that actually matter.
this is not a conference.
not a long lecture day.
not “learn quantum in theory for 6 hours.”
you build from hour one.
whether you’re a developer, student, designer, researcher, or just curious about what comes after AI, this is your chance to actually experiment with quantum ideas in a practical way.
you do not need prior quantum experience to join.
what to expect:
• team formation + problem selection
• mentor support throughout the build
• hands-on hacking from morning to evening
• final demos and showcase
• networking with builders interested in deep tech and emerging technologies
