Just wrapped the first quantum computing hackathon—and it was hands down one of the best hackathons I’ve ever been to. Huge credit to XPYQ Computing (“Spike”), a Berkeley Gateway Accelerator company, for hosting, and to the BGA team for organizing California’s first quantum hackathon. The energy was real, with top quantum scientists flying in from Boston to Silicon Valley to participate. If this is any indication, the momentum in deep tech at Berkeley Gateway Accelerator is only getting started.
