Early this month, Classiq announced the Classiq Coding Competition, rewarding those that create highly-efficient quantum circuits to solve important real-world problems. It is the first competition focused on quantum efficiency. Quantum computers have limited resources, so building compact, optimized solutions that can make maximum use of those resources is critical. …
