#unitaryHACK by @unitaryfdn is back for 2026! 🎉 PennyLane is proud to sponsor this year’s event running from June 3rd to the 17th. Have the chance to win cash bounties by contributing to open-source projects. 💰 Start getting prepared by learning PennyLane with the PennyLane Codebook! 👀 pennylane.ai/codebook?utm_so…

Close open source issues in quantum tech! Win bounties! unitaryHack is back for 2026

⚛️ We’re excited to announce the 6th edition of 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗞 Join us 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟯–𝟭𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 as we continue building a resilient, open-source quantum future. 🔗 Learn more & register: buff.ly/z0GWUza More updates coming soon!

@unitaryfdn has released our 2025 Annual Report! (link below) 2025 gives me the privilege to reflect on what has yet again been the largest year for quantum technology. Private investment in 2025 surpassed $10Bn, more than double the previous high water mark in 2024. We now see several large public quantum technology companies, increased acquisitions and dealmaking, new public initiatives and spotlight focus at the national level. Quantum technology ranked second, right after AI, on the list of 2025 Science and Technology Highlights released by the White House. In 2025, we’ve also seen an openness to support new funding structures, with new Focused Research Organizations and the newly announced NSF Tech Labs program. This validates our view that new and independent organizations, with dedicated teams in a specific space, can go faster in new fields. Unitary Foundation has operated as a startup research organization from the beginning, and we are encouraged to see more partners adopting this approach. If you want to feed a fire then you need to open breathing space between the logs to allow air in as fuel. At Unitary Foundation, we continue to build these open spaces through the microgrants, community programs, and open source software that draw in the talent to grow the quantum industry. In 2025, we hosted our largest unitaryHack yet, with 65% of participating hackers engaging in open source for the first time. UF's mission is to lower the barriers to entry in quantum technology by building open, durable infrastructure that helps the field grow faster, and grow well. While quantum tech advances, it has done so alongside a remarkable acceleration in artificial intelligence. It remains striking that some of the world’s most powerful foundation models are so widely accessible through cloud platforms, open source releases, and global communities of builders. Sci-fi might have you expect that such tech would only be available in a secret base, but these tools are being used by people all over the world to solve problems that matter to them, to express creativity, and to explore science and mathematics. Increasingly, they are also being used to help build quantum technology itself. We will all benefit if quantum technology grows with this same openness: scaling responsibly, remaining accessible, and shaped to advance human flourishing through the fundamental rules of nature: quantum mechanics.

Our unitaryHack programs have been so great that we've been looking for ways to host more permanent open source bounty programs. @unitaryfdn has teamed up with @Meritsystems_ to introduce a new way for you to get paid to work on quantum open source!

New post from @nvidia on some of the features they received from @unitaryfdn's unitaryhack contributors. Even the biggest tech companies in the world benefit from open source

🌠 NVIDIA #CUDA-Q 0.12 is here. 🌠 It introduces new simulation tools for accelerating how researchers develop quantum applications and design performant quantum hardware. The 0.12 release also includes a new run API for detailed shot data, enhanced dynamics backend for noisy quantum systems, and community contributions from unitaryHACK. 🔗 Dive in and explore the latest features: nvda.ws/3UOyJSU
