CQN launched a new series of competitions open to teams of undergraduate and graduate students at CQN partner institutions. The Q-Challenges will provide a pathway for students to apply their creativity to important technical challenges in quantum networking research. The Q-Challenges support the research, workforce development, and diversity pillars of CQN.

CQN leadership will periodically update a list of Q-Challenges. These will be well-bounded technical problems that require solid engineering development (hardware and/or software), but are not expected to require revolutionary scientific advances. We’re actively soliciting new challenge ideas from faculty and industry.
