You are most cordially invited to the 2026 ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing Ceremony that will take place in the Budinich Lecture Hall, ICTP Leonardo Building TODAY,  Tuesday 21 April, starting at 14.00 hrs CEST. The event will take place during the ICTP-IBM School on Quantum Computing and Simulation (smr 4213,  20 - 30 April 2026).

 

The 2026 ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing has been awarded to Professor Ignacio Cirac of Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, "for his seminal contributions to quantum optics, quantum information science, quantum many-body theory, condensed matter theory, and mathematical physics. Professor Ignacio Cirac has played a central role in establishing the theoretical foundations of quantum information processing, including the theory of entanglement, quantum simulation, and tensor-network methods, profoundly influencing both experimental realizations and theoretical developments across modern physics."
