QUANTUM AI HACKATHON - AI agents meet qubits, powered by XpyQ
- WHO IT IS FOR: Quant researchers, quantum algorithm engineers, ML practitioners, and AI model builders.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: Developing quantum-enhanced trading systems and financial AI foundation models for hedge fund applications.
- FORMAT: An intensive hackathon featuring prototyping tracks, industry judging, and an awards dinner.
Join the Berkeley Gateway Accelerator and XpyQ for the Quantum AI Hackathon, a high-stakes challenge where AI agents meet qubits. As quantitative finance shifts toward quantum-AI risk hedging, this event provides the tools and data necessary to build the next generation of high-frequency trading and alpha generation systems.
Participants will gain access to real quantum hardware credits from leaders like IBM Quantum, IonQ, AWS Braket, and D-Wave to prototype advanced trading systems. You will fine-tune financial AI foundation models including Chronos and TimesFM using live market data across four frontier tracks: HFT, mid-frequency trading, risk and compliance, and AI foundation models.
The event culminates in presentations to a panel of hedge fund and quantum computing industry experts. The top project will secure a $2,000 Grand Prize and an exclusive invitation to the formal awards dinner.
