ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing

The ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing, named in honour of quantum mechanics pioneer Richard Feynman, is open to anyone who has made significant contributions to the field of quantum computing, including theory, algorithms, applications, or simulations. It is intended to be awarded annually at a yearly conference co-sponsored by ICTP and IBM. 
 
The prize will include a monetary award; recipients  will be chosen by a prize committee chaired by Professor Peter Zoller, an internationally recognized pioneer in quantum science.

In honor of

Richard Feynman

Richard Feynman was an American physicist renowned for his work in quantum electrodynamics, as well as a visionary who saw the profound implications of quantum mechanics for the future of computation. He received the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shinichiro Tomonaga, for their "fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles".
