Hi @tusharpandey and @Mackattackx I am looking for people for the neuronexus and the wells fargo challenge I already have two members in the team both having physics and CS background and both were top performers for the womanium global challenge in 2024 both of them were QSL fellows , Let me know if you guys are interested in teaming up
a bit about me I was the womanium media challenge and womanium ai in climate challenge winner 2024 , Was the finalist for both the blaise pasqal challenge and qrise

Hi, I am Abhishek Sawaika, (abhisheksawaika@gmail.com), a PhD student working on distributed quantum computing in Australian (AEST) time zone. I Know it might be last moment but if your team have vacany, I am interested in working on Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and/or NeuroQuantum Nexus challenge. I have participated in around 5 quantum hackathons now and have prior exerience in finance sector. But would like to explore NeuroQuantum use case as well. I have background in quantum ML, optimization and algorithms. . Will be happy to collaborate and work in any time zone.

Hi! I am Bharathi ([barla.indian@gmail.com]), in Indian Standard Time zone, although I am comfortable working in other time zones as well. We are looking for teammates for World Bank Global industry challenge 2025. Our team, named Entangled Minds has two members and we are looking for a few more teammates who are good in financial/technical expertise, with some coding knowledge. I am a Researcher at a private academic institution and have published a few papers.

Good day all,
I have a team of three and we’re open to adding two more people if anyone is still looking for a team to join. We're working on the JPMC solution, and we already have our project scope finalized — we’ll be ready to submit today.
I have a team of three and we’re open to adding two more people if anyone is still looking for a team to join. We're working on the JPMC solution, and we already have our project scope finalized — we’ll be ready to submit today.
Our current team:
-
Project Manager (me)
-
Researcher/Analyst
-
Developer
We're especially interested in bringing on:
-
Developers (quantum circuit/Qiskit experience a plus)
-
Anyone with a background in financial optimization
Some of the quantum work we've done includes:
-
Quantum simulation and circuit design
-
Quantum ML
-
Finance-focused quantum algorithms (portfolio optimization, risk modeling)
-
Hybrid classical/quantum search methods
If you’re looking to collaborate, contribute, and learn, feel free to reach out. We’re a cross-functional, easygoing team focused on building something solid together!

G'day! I am Hao Mack Yang Lee (hao.mack.yang@gmail.com / mulliganaceous.li@mail.utoronto.ca) and I currently reside in Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). I am currently looking for teammates for the NeuroQuantum Nexus and The World Bank challenge. Last year, I am one of the seven out of 150+ team submissions on Womanium Quantum + AI to receive the Womanium Grant, for the most technically proficient solution for a convolutional neural network paper (in Xanadu). This time, I will expand my knowledge into the financial sector especially in combination with the effect of climate change - not to mention that I have posted this on Earth Week.
I also have posted this on YouTube! https://youtu.be/nKjHFPjEHjQ
