Hi Shiva - Phase 2 is a research and planning phase to think through your design/approach. You are required to select and justify your device access. We will be sharing more information next week about how this works. The finalists will then be given access to devices, based on the juding committees recomendations for Phase 3 to execute their designs.
Good luck with Phase 2!
Thanks,
Kieran

Hi Khrystian - thank you for your question, and it's great to see you're competing again!
You should have recieved an email from contact@qbraid.com with the next steps. Apologies that you did not. You are registered and have an Aqora account, so the next stage is to either form or join a team (if you have not already) or submit a solo solution to one or several Challenges. IBM is giving credits again this year yes. We also announced new platform providers D-Wave and Quantum Computing Inc. The deadline is set for April 5 for Phase 1, and participants can submit and resubmit up until the deadline.
Good luck competing!

Hi teamIh44 - Aqora have added a great new function to help with this process, please go to the "Team Settings" menu within the competition you want to join.
From there, there are two options:
- Create a team by clicking "Create an organization."
- Signal that they're looking to join a team by flipping the availability switch. This makes them visible to other participants as an available member, and team leaders can then add them directly to their team.
This will help expand your search and build a team or join one that is looking for more participants.

Hi @Stormbringer, if a team is selected as a winner, it is not mandatory to receive the award in person. Teams will receive complimentary passes to the 3-day event, and we highly recommend attendance at the international event. We are unable to provide additional support for expenses.
Looking at the submissions, we did not receive a Phase 3 submission from CMMQuantum, so you are unable to be selected among the winners. Could you please email quantum@connecteddmv.org if this is incorrect?
Thanks,
Kieran
