XPRIZE Quantum Applications

Awards a $5 million prize purse to teams that design quantum algorithms and applications ready to deliver real-world impact once quantum hardware matures.

Teams first competed in a Phase I round judged on novelty and plausible real-world impact, which narrowed the field down to seven finalists announced in December 2025, drawn from 133 submissions across 31 countries. A separate wildcard registration window let a further group of teams join Phase II directly in early 2026. Phase II finalists must now produce benchmarked evidence of their algorithm's
