About the competition
The Atos and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Hartree Centre Joseph Fourier Prize is a competition for scientists, applying individually or in teams to their local competitions
The Joseph Fourier Prize aims at rewarding the work of researchers, academics and industrial scientists in Quantum Computing.
In order to stay at the forefront of innovation and remain competitive, public organisations and enterprises will have to understand how to effectively harness this emerging technology.
Through this competition, Atos is supporting innovation in Quantum applications including communications, computation, simulation, sensing and metrology that will lead to tangible industrial applications within our lifetime.
The prize pays tribute to mathematician Joseph Fourier whose work in the 18th century largely contributed to the mathematical physical phenomena of heat flow.
