OCTOBER 16–23, 2026 | The PennyLane-powered quantum computing coding competition, QHack, welcomes hobbyists, students, and curious developers to a hands-on challenge focused on accessible education and practical growth. Register now for access to exclusive resources to help you successfully compete.


QHack is the world-renowned annual hackathon where the global community gathers for the ultimate quantum competition. Whether you’re writing your first line of quantum code or pushing research boundaries, step into the arena and aim for the podium—including a USD $15,000 grand prize for 1st place!
QHack is powered by PennyLane, an open-source software platform for quantum computing, quantum machine learning (QML), and quantum chemistry. Its versatile framework drives the coding challenges, giving participants the tools to build, optimize, and execute quantum algorithms from concept to execution.

October 16-23, 2026
Put your skills to the test with an array of quantum challenges across algorithms, chemistry, applications, and PennyLane basics. Compete solo or form a team of up to four players. The faster you solve and the harder the problem, the higher you’ll climb on the leaderboard.
New to quantum? We’ve got you covered. Prepare for game day with our self-paced masterclass series and hands-on Jupyter Notebooks designed to set you up for success.
Game time starts October 16 at 10:00 AM ET.
