Dedicated towards celebrating open source software contributors in the field of quantum computation.
The Wittek Quantum Prize is dedicated to Peter Wittek - a pioneer in the field of open quantum software who went missing on a mountaineering expedition in the Himalayas in 2019. The $4k cash prize is a collaboration between the Unitary Fund and the Quantum Open Source Foundation. It aims to reward an otherwise unnoticed individual for their outstanding high-impact contribution to the field of quantum open-source software.

We love witnessing the exponential growth of the quantum open source ecosystem and we believe that it is critical to secure open & equitable access to this new computing paradigm.
We think that it is time to reward the best quantum open source developers for their outstanding work and provide them with the platform they deserve.
We welcome nominations from all across the globe, independent of your nationality, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. We are thrilled to have you here and are doing everything it takes to ensure a fair process.
The entire organizational team behind the Wittek Quantum Prize as well as the jury panel, consisting of the Unitary Fund's advisory board, are 100% volunteer-based. We believe in this mission!
We are accepting nominations until November 5th 11:59:59 AM Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
