Alexandria Quantum Hackathon

Alexandria Quantum Hackathon—Egypt’s first-ever national quantum hackathon—proudly hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and supported by OQI (The Open Quantum Institute, hosted at CERN, born at GESDA, and supported by UBS), in celebration of the United Nations’ 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ).

The Alexandria Quantum Hackathon 2025 seeks to engage students primarily from Egypt, guided by expertise from both local and international mentors, including those who have excelled in previous quantum computing hackathons. These mentors, along with domain experts, serve as speakers and judges, forming a rich community of support, guidance, and evaluation.

Looking further ahead, the hackathon aspires to become a catalyst for growing the quantum computing community in Egypt and potentially across the region in subsequent years.

The structure of the event includes clustering 30 students into six teams, each composed of five students and supported by two mentors, one experienced in quantum computing and the other strong in machine learning. Mentors will also assist teams in developing code, building user interfaces, and managing repositories.

Symposium – Quantum Science and Technology in Healthcare

The Quantum Science and Technology in Healthcare symposium is part of the 13th National Congress of AIFM (Italian Association of Medical Physics).

Celebration of 100 years of Quantum Mechanics in São Carlos Tribute to the Life and Work of Dan Kleppner

This year, quantum mechanics celebrates its 100th anniversary. Join us at the Physics Institute of São Carlos of the University of São Paulo to celebrate.

We also take the opportunity to celebrate the life and work of our good friend Dan Kleppner, who passed away this year. Dan was one of the founding fathers of modern atomic physics and an inspiration to many generations of scientists working with atoms and light in the realm of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Cilento

In the occasion of the celebrations of the Quantum Year 2025, the Association “ Cilento Domani Arte e Cultura Mediterranea APS” based in the province of Salerno, South Italy, and the Association Scienza e Scuola APS are promoting an event aimed to spread consciousness among students and citizen of the Cilento area, about the enormous achievements in all fields of hard sciences since the Quantum interpretation paradigm has been introduced last century in Physics. The one-day conference will take place at the secondary school Liceo “Alfonso Gatto “ of Agropoli on November 12th. Talks will be given by physicists and chemists lecturing at the Università “Federico II” di Napoli. The goal is to convey the sense of how much the understanding of the quantum nature of our world and ourselves has been leveraged by technology to transform our way of life. The day before, an exhibition of kits showing lasers, LEDs, solar cells, and detectors controlled by information and communication technology will be on display to capture the students’ and visitors’ surprise and their interest, and to prepare them for the conference the next day.

Cumbre 2025: Simbiosis Digital: Convergencia de Tecnologías Cuánticas, de Inteligencia Artificial y Educación Virtual para la Industria Inteligente

La Cumbre QUANTUM AI 2025 es un encuentro académico-tecnológico-empresarial de vanguardia que convoca a líderes, investigadores, visionarios y agentes de cambio a explorar el futuro de la Industria Inteligente, desde una fusión estratégica de la fusión estratégica de las tecnologías (entre otras):


• Computación Cuántica
• Criptografía Cuántica
• Ciberseguridad
• Inteligencia Artificial (IA)
• Educación Virtual, Agentes Virtuales de IA
• IA Generativa en la Educación

Este año, con el respaldo de la ONU, la UNESCO y UNICEF, el 2025 ha sido proclamado como el Año Internacional de la Ciencia y la Tecnología Cuánticas (IYQ), reconociendo su impacto potencial para resolver desafíos globales.

Además, la Cumbre se realizará en el mes de octubre, que es el mes dedicado a la ciberseguridad a nivel mundial.

En este contexto histórico, la Cumbre QUANTUM AI se consolida como un espacio de diálogo, descubrimiento y construcción colectiva de soluciones disruptivas que integren tecnología, conocimiento y sostenibilidad.

Bajo el concepto de realizar una Simbiosis Digital e Industrial, la cumbre plantea cómo la convergencia ética y colaborativa de estas tecnologías puede transformar radicalmente los modelos productivos, educativos y sociales. No se trata solo de usar tecnología, sino de crear ecosistemas donde humanos y máquinas trabajen juntos, de forma inteligente, sostenible y ética.

En la cumbre se considera la simbiosis industrial como puente hacia la industria inteligente, dado que aporta el marco perfecto para acelerar la transición hacia una industria inteligente. A través del intercambio estratégico de recursos, datos, energía y conocimientos entre organizaciones, este enfoque:

  • Digitaliza los flujos de recursos, promoviendo el uso de plataformas con IoT, Blockchain y Big Data para gestionar materiales, energía y residuos de forma eficiente
  • Fomenta ecosistemas colaborativos, donde empresas, incluso de distintos sectores, cooperan para transformar subproductos en oportunidades de negocio.
  • Integra automatización e inteligencia artificial para optimizar procesos industriales en tiempo real, reduciendo desperdicios y mejorando la eficiencia.
  • Impulsa la sostenibilidad inteligente, haciendo que la industria no solo sea más competitiva, sino también respetuosa con el medio ambiente y con la sociedad.
  • Activa nuevos modelos de negocio, conectando empresas en redes productivas digitales basadas en confianza, trazabilidad y transparencia.

Cuando la Simbiosis Industrial se apoya en tecnologías como la IA y la computación cuántica, el resultado es una industria más adaptativa, eficiente, ética y resiliente.

La Cumbre QUANTUM AI 2025 reconoce el modelo de la Cuádruple Hélice como eje para la innovación con impacto:


• La academia genera conocimiento y forma talento
• La industria aplica y escala soluciones disruptivas
• El gobierno regula, incentiva y financia
• La sociedad civil aporta visión ética, creativa y socialmente relevante

Más que un evento, la Cumbre es una experiencia transformadora que tiene un enfoque pedagógico, inspirador e innovador. No se trata solo de compartir conocimiento, sino de encender pasiones, activar ideas, motivar alianzas y cocrear proyectos con impacto real.

Quantum Materials Hackathon

In celebration of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) at CERN and the University of Geneva are co-organizing the first Quantum Materials Hackathon, which will be hosted at CERN IdeaSquare from July 11 to 13, 2025.

This hackathon will explore how quantum computing could be utilised to design novel quantum materials and how these materials can contribute towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, aligning with OQI’s overall mission. To achieve this, hackathon participants will be tasked with creating a practical application document, detailing how they would approach developing a quantum algorithm to design such a material. They will then begin to develop an algorithm with the potential to be refined further beyond the hackathon.

The event aims at 1) Upskilling/educating new talent in the field of quantum computing/materials. 2) Connecting academic and industrial quantum communities with each other and with new talent. 3) Elaborating on a roadmap for applications of quantum materials to inform future research projects across academia/industry.

Quantum Computing Hackathon

Participants of the hackathon will develop quantum solutions for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This hands-on competition offers students practical experience, helps corporates explore first applications, and shows policymakers that quantum is already delivering real results—making it a key driver for Switzerland’s innovation agenda and future investment.

OQI Quantum Diplomacy Game at the International Quantum Forum

The Open Quantum Institute (OQI) participated in the International Quantum Forum 2025 held at TUM Think Tank, presenting the Quantum Diplomacy Game.

OQI’s Quantum Diplomacy Game is an interactive role-play game that brings the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing to life in a fictional future scenario. Designed to promote science diplomacy, the game aims to raise awareness of the geopolitical implications of quantum computing as an emerging technology.
