ICTP and IBM Announce Plans for New Prize for Quantum Computing 

In the spirit of the UN’s 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), ICTP and IBM have announced the intention of establishing a new prize to recognize excellence in quantum computing.

The intended prize, the ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing, named in honor of quantum mechanics pioneer Richard Feynman, will be open to anyone who has made significant contributions to the field of quantum computing. It is intended to be awarded annually at a yearly conference co-sponsored by ICTP and IBM.
