After gaining international recognition many times since last summer, a team of researchers from the University Constantine 1, working on quantum technology, has won the third prize in the “Quantum Chemistry” category of the international hackathon on quantum technology and its applications,  QHACK-2023. The competition was organised by the Canadian company Xandu, a global leader in photonic quantum computers and thousands of participants from over a hundred different countries .

To achieve this feat, our young researchers, supervised by a lecturer of University Constantine 1, proposed an ingenious quantum algorithm which they have implemented on quantum computers of the world giant IBM, based on superconductors technology. This latter has placed Algeria in the best possible way on the world map of quantum technology .
