The ICTP-IBM Richard Feynman Prize in Quantum Computing, named in honour of quantum mechanics pioneer Richard Feynman, is open to established career researchers who have made significant contributions to the field of quantum computing, including theory, algorithms, applications, or simulations. It is intended to be a top award in its field, on a par with ICTP's prestigious Dirac Medal for theoretical physics, and to be awarded annually at a yearly conference co-sponsored by ICTP and IBM.

The 2026 ICTP–IBM Richard Feynman Prize Ceremony will take place in the Budinich Lecture Hall at 14:00 on Tuesday, 21 April 2026. The event will include a greeting from Michelle Feynman, daughter of Richard Feynman.

Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony.
