🔷 Startup Ideas:

Teams are welcome to come up with their own ideas that can solve big social problems with the aids of quantum technology. Please note that the proposed algorithms are only for your information, you can choose any solution you like. Otherwise, the following ideas can be used:

1. Quality management of water and soil

Water and soil in developing countries face mounting pressure from heavy metals, pesticides, salinity intrusion, and industrial effluent, yet monitoring is fragmented, sensor budgets are limited, and contamination data rarely reaches decision-makers in time. Build a system that ingests data from at least two sources (government open data, IoT sensors, satellite imagery, citizen reports), processes it through a classical pipeline with anomaly detection and contamination risk scoring, and surfaces insights via a dashboard or alerting layer for a defined user group such as farmers or local authorities. The quantum component should address one of two combinatorial cores: optimal sensor placement — given a fixed budget of N sensors across a river basin or agricultural region, maximize contamination detection coverage (a max-coverage / facility-location QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or multi-source data fusion — using quantum machine learning (variational classifiers, quantum kernels) to classify contamination patterns from heterogeneous, noisy inputs where classical baselines plateau. Teams should benchmark the quantum approach against a strong classical baseline (greedy algorithms, OR-Tools, or classical ML) on the same dataset, and be honest about where quantum adds value versus where it does not. Suggested deliverables: working prototype with classical baseline + quantum module, short technical write-up including the benchmark comparison, and a pitch judged on technical execution, defensibility of the quantum-classical split, real-world deployability, and clarity of the user value proposition.


2. Real-time digital agriculture mapping and logistics integration

South East Asia's agricultural exports — coffee, rubber, cashew, pepper, timber — face tightening compliance demands from EUDR, GlobalGAP, Rainforest Alliance, and ESG frameworks, while smallholders and cooperatives lack the digital infrastructure to prove provenance and move goods efficiently to port. Build a system that maps growing areas with geospatial precision, tracks production and shipments through a classical data layer (satellite imagery, GPS-tagged field data, tamper-evident records), and supports at least one compliance standard end-to-end for a defined user such as a cooperative manager or exporter. The quantum component should address one of two combinatorial cores: cold-chain and collection-route optimization — routing vehicles across hundreds of cooperative collection points under EUDR traceability, time-window, and capacity constraints (a vehicle routing QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or quantum machine learning for deforestation and land-use classification on Sentinel-2 imagery, where quantum kernels or variational classifiers are benchmarked against classical CNNs on the same tiles. Teams should ship a working classical baseline first, then show where the quantum module is invoked, what problem size it handles, and how it compares to OR-Tools or a tuned classical ML model on identical inputs. Deliverables: working prototype with classical baseline + quantum module, short technical write-up including the benchmark and an honest scaling discussion (NISQ-era limits, when this would beat classical at production scale), and a pitch judged on standards compliance, quantum-classical integration, deployability, and value to producers.

3. Distributed Quantum Machine Learning with Photonic QCNNs

Quantum machine learning is currently limited by the size and scalability of available quantum hardware. One promising approach is distributed quantum computing, where several smaller quantum processors cooperate through classical communication instead of relying on a single large quantum processor.

In this challenge, teams will investigate whether distributed photonic quantum machine learning architectures can reproduce the performance of larger monolithic systems using Quandela’s photonic quantum computing framework MerLin.

Participants will build upon an existing photonic Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) implementation already reproduced in MerLin:

The scientific inspiration for the challenge comes from the paper:

The paper demonstrates that, for a specific quantum machine learning task, two smaller quantum processors connected through classical feed-forward communication can perform comparably to one larger processor.

The goal of the challenge is not to demonstrate quantum advantage. The focus is instead on:

  • scalable photonic quantum ML architectures,
  • distributed quantum workflows,
  • adaptive classical-quantum hybrid protocols,
  • realistic hardware-aware implementation strategies.

4. Climate disaster prediction, risk assessment, and resilience planning

Vietnam faces an intensifying cycle of typhoons, floods, droughts, and landslides, yet current forecasting models are often too slow or coarse-grained to guide evacuation, infrastructure decisions, or local mitigation in time. Build a classical pipeline that ingests meteorological, hydrological, and geospatial data (VNMHA feeds, satellite imagery, terrain models) to produce risk maps and early-warning signals for a defined user such as a provincial disaster authority or insurer. The quantum component should target one combinatorial core: optimal placement of warning infrastructure (sensors, sirens, evacuation hubs) under coverage and budget constraints — a QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing — or quantum machine learning applied to multi-variable weather pattern classification where classical models plateau on sparse extreme-event data. Teams must benchmark against a credible classical baseline (rule-based thresholds, gradient-boosted trees, or numerical weather models) on the same inputs, and be explicit about which subproblem the quantum module addresses. Deliverables: working prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, technical write-up including benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on technical execution, real-world deployability in a Vietnamese province, and clarity of value for affected communities.


5. Energy grid optimization, renewable integration, and efficiency

Vietnam's grid is straining under rapid solar and wind capacity additions, with transmission losses, instability, and demand-supply mismatch driving up cost and curtailment. Build a classical simulation of a representative grid segment — generation mix, storage, transmission constraints, demand profile — and produce a dispatch and balancing engine that surfaces decisions for a defined user such as EVN, a microgrid operator, or an industrial off-taker. The quantum component should address one combinatorial core: unit commitment and dispatch under uncertainty (which generators run, when, and at what level given fluctuating renewables) — a QUBO well-suited to QAOA or quantum annealing — or portfolio optimization of storage and demand-response assets under joint cost and reliability constraints. Teams should benchmark against MILP solvers or OR-Tools on identical inputs, report runtime and solution quality fairly, and discuss the problem size at which quantum methods would plausibly compete. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark and honest scaling discussion, and a 5-minute pitch judged on technical rigor, integration of renewables, and deployment realism in the Vietnamese energy context.


6. Cybersecurity and secure digital infrastructure

The cryptographic foundations of Vietnamese banks, telecoms, government services, and critical infrastructure are vulnerable to future quantum attacks, while "harvest now, decrypt later" threats mean sensitive data captured today can be decrypted in a decade. Build a tool that scans a representative target — an enterprise codebase, cloud configuration, TLS endpoint inventory, or document signing workflow — and produces a quantum-risk inventory, migration roadmap, and prioritized action list for a defined user such as a CISO, fintech security team, or government IT auditor. The quantum component is the post-quantum cryptography migration itself: integrate NIST-standardized PQC primitives (Kyber, Dilithium) via liboqs or OpenSSL provider, demonstrate hybrid classical-PQC handshakes, and quantify performance overhead. Optionally include a quantum random number generator demo for high-entropy key material. Teams should be explicit about which components are genuinely quantum-vulnerable, which are not, and what a realistic 1- to 3-year migration looks like for a Vietnamese organization with limited budget. Deliverables: working scanner and migration toolkit, write-up with sample audit report, and a 5-minute pitch judged on technical correctness of the PQC integration, migration realism, and value to Vietnamese organizations facing long-term confidentiality requirements.


7. Food security: crop yield optimization, pest and disease control, supply chain loss reduction

Vietnamese agriculture loses up to 40% of production post-harvest while facing climate stress, pest outbreaks, and rising input costs — yet smallholders rarely receive crop-specific, locally calibrated guidance. Build a classical decision-support system that ingests farm-level data (soil, weather, satellite NDVI, pest reports) and produces planting, input, and harvest recommendations for a defined user such as a cooperative manager, extension officer, or aggregator. The quantum component should address one combinatorial core: crop allocation and rotation optimization across farms and seasons under water, salinity, market, and risk constraints (a multi-objective QUBO suited to quantum annealing or QAOA) — or quantum machine learning for early pest and disease detection from leaf imagery, where quantum kernels are benchmarked against classical CNNs on the same dataset. Teams must ship the classical baseline first, then show where the quantum module is invoked, and benchmark against OR-Tools or a tuned classical ML model on identical inputs. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark and honest discussion of NISQ-era limits, and a 5-minute pitch judged on agricultural realism, technical execution, and clarity of value for Vietnamese smallholders.


8. Sustainable transportation and smart urban mobility

Vietnamese cities — Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang — face severe congestion, emissions, inefficient public transit, and rising logistics cost, with traffic patterns that defy static signal timing and routing. Build a classical traffic simulation calibrated to a real corridor or intersection cluster, with the ability to evaluate signal schedules, fleet routing, or transit allocation against measurable outcomes (average wait time, emissions, throughput) for a defined user such as a city traffic authority or logistics operator. The quantum component should target one combinatorial core: traffic signal optimization across a small network of coupled intersections — a QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing — or vehicle routing and fleet assignment for delivery, ride-share, or public transit under time-window and capacity constraints. Teams must benchmark against fixed-time signal plans, SUMO/Aimsun rule-based controllers, or OR-Tools VRP on the same inputs, and be candid about which problem sizes the quantum module can handle today versus at scale. Deliverables: prototype with simulation, baseline, and quantum module, write-up with benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on technical execution, urban realism, and value to a Vietnamese city.


9. Water resource allocation, usage efficiency, and transboundary management

Vietnam shares major river systems (Mekong, Red River) with upstream neighbors, faces growing competition between agriculture, urban, and industrial water users, and lacks the coordination tools to allocate fairly under scarcity. Build a classical water balance model for a representative basin — inflows, reservoirs, demand nodes, environmental flows — with the ability to evaluate allocation policies against equity, efficiency, and reliability metrics for a defined user such as a basin authority, irrigation district, or hydropower operator. The quantum component should address one combinatorial core: multi-period reservoir release and allocation scheduling under stochastic inflows and competing demands (a QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or optimal sensor and monitoring station placement across a transboundary network to maximize information value under budget constraints. Teams must benchmark against linear programming or rule-curve baselines on the same data, and discuss honestly how the quantum formulation scales as the number of decision periods and users grows. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on hydrological soundness, stakeholder realism, and value to Vietnamese water governance.


10. Healthcare: drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and public health response

Vietnam faces a dual burden of infectious disease (dengue, tuberculosis, emerging outbreaks) and rising non-communicable disease, with limited domestic drug discovery capacity and uneven diagnostic infrastructure. Build a classical workflow targeting one of three application areas: molecular simulation for a small drug candidate against a Vietnam-relevant target (dengue NS3 protease, M. tuberculosis enzymes), diagnostic imaging classification for a condition with high regional prevalence, or outbreak modeling and resource allocation during a simulated epidemic. The quantum component should match the application: VQE or quantum-classical hybrid simulation for ground-state energy of a small molecule fragment (H₂, LiH, or a small ligand) with honest comparison to classical reference methods; quantum machine learning (variational classifiers, quantum kernels) for diagnostic image classification benchmarked against a tuned CNN on the same dataset; or quantum-inspired optimization for hospital resource and vaccine distribution under outbreak constraints. Teams must benchmark fairly and be explicit about which parts of the workflow are quantum versus classical, and at what scale quantum methods would plausibly contribute beyond demonstration. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark and honest scaling discussion, and a 5-minute pitch judged on medical relevance, technical correctness, and pathway to a Vietnamese clinical or public health user.


11. Supply chain resilience, trade facilitation, and cross-border logistics

Vietnam's export-driven economy depends on complex supply chains across ports, customs, and trading partners, yet disruptions, delays, and lack of end-to-end visibility erode margins and competitiveness. Build a classical supply chain simulator covering a representative trade flow — supplier network, inventory nodes, port and customs touchpoints, demand variability — with the ability to evaluate routing, inventory, and contingency policies against cost, lead time, and risk metrics for a defined user such as an exporter, 3PL, or customs authority. The quantum component should target one combinatorial core: multi-echelon inventory and network design under uncertainty (a QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or route and mode selection under disruption scenarios balancing cost, transit time, and resilience. Teams must benchmark against MILP or simulation-optimization baselines on the same inputs, and discuss honestly the gap between toy instances and production-scale problems. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on supply chain realism, technical execution, and value to Vietnamese trade-dependent businesses.


12. Environmental protection: pollution monitoring, carbon accounting, and emission reduction

Vietnam faces severe air and water pollution in industrial corridors, growing pressure on carbon accounting from export markets (EU CBAM), and the need for verifiable emission inventories at facility and supply chain levels. Build a classical monitoring and accounting pipeline that ingests sensor data, satellite observations (Sentinel-5P for NO₂, methane), and reported emissions, producing facility-level or regional inventories with uncertainty quantification for a defined user such as an industrial operator, environmental authority, or export compliance manager. The quantum component should target one combinatorial core: optimal monitoring sensor placement across industrial zones, watersheds, or air sheds to maximize detection coverage under budget constraints (a QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or quantum machine learning for identifying emission sources from hyperspectral or multi-source data, benchmarked against classical methods. Teams must ship the classical pipeline first, then show where the quantum module adds value, with honest comparison against established baselines. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on environmental rigor, technical execution, and pathway to a Vietnamese regulator, exporter, or community user.


13. Natural resource management: forestry, minerals, and biodiversity conservation

Vietnam's forests, mineral deposits, and biodiversity face pressure from illegal logging, over-extraction, and habitat fragmentation, with monitoring and enforcement constrained by limited resources and incomplete inventories. Build a classical resource intelligence pipeline that combines satellite imagery (deforestation alerts from GFW, Sentinel-2 time series), ground reports, and concession records to produce monitoring outputs and extraction plans for a defined user such as a forest management board, conservation NGO, or mining regulator. The quantum component should target one combinatorial core: optimal patrol routing and ranger deployment across protected areas under coverage, distance, and risk constraints (a vehicle routing / coverage QUBO suited to QAOA or quantum annealing) — or quantum machine learning for land-use change detection from satellite imagery, benchmarked against classical CNNs on identical tiles. Teams must benchmark against classical methods (OR-Tools for routing, tuned CNNs for imagery) on the same data, and discuss honestly when the quantum approach plausibly competes. Deliverables: prototype with classical baseline plus quantum module, write-up with benchmark, and a 5-minute pitch judged on conservation rigor, technical execution, and value to Vietnamese resource management authorities.

Travel

There are four main international airports in Vietnam : Hanoi (Noi Bai airport : HAN) and Ho Chi Minh (Tan Son Nhut airport : SGN), Da Nang Airport (DAD), Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR).

From these international airport, to take a flight to Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, you need to find a ticket to Phu Cat airport (UIH).

As there more flights from Ho Chi Minh to Quy nhon, it is more convenient to fly from foreign countries to Ho Chi Minh than to Hanoi.

Once you arrive at Phu Cat airport (UIH), the organizer will pick you up at the airport, and take you to your hotels.

Alternatively, you can take trains or sleeper coach from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Hue, etc..
Train can be booked here.
Sleeper coach can be booked here.
