Today, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the first Alexandria Quantum Hackathon — a landmark event in Egypt and the wider region dedicated to quantum computing education and innovation. The event was hosted at the iconic Bibliotheca Alexandrina, making it even more inspiring to witness the future of computing being discussed in such a historic place of knowledge.

The hackathon brought together professors, engineers, scientists, and enthusiasts from across the quantum computing field. It was a unique chance to learn, share, and connect with people who are shaping the next era of technology.
The sessions were especially eye-opening, covering topics such as:
- Recent advancements in quantum computing and its real-world applications.
- The fusion between High Performance Computing (HPC) and Quantum Computing (QC) — how these two fields complement each other to accelerate problem-solving.
- The importance of quantum computing for encryption and security, a topic that highlights the urgency of preparing for a post-quantum world.
What stood out to me the most was not only the cutting-edge knowledge being shared but also the networking opportunities the event provided. Engaging with colleagues and professionals opened up conversations about potential collaborations, research, and how Egypt can play a vital role in the global quantum revolution.
