NYC HAQ is the first New York City-based multi-university quantum hackathon. It will be an opportunity for students who are eager to gain a deeper understanding of quantum technology to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with some real quantum programming!
Why throw a hackathon for quantum computing? A couple of reasons: In general, quantum computing research and funding has been gaining substantial support over the past decade due to its remarkable potential to solve very important problems, and we want our students to be better equipped to participate in this thriving ecosystem! More specifically, however, there is a minor in Quantum Technology currently at NYU Tandon and we would like our students to get a flavor of what they will be learning if they choose to enroll in the program!
