About the competition
The Global Quantum Mechanics Challenge (GQMC) is an international challenge designed for high school and university students interested in learning more about the quantum world. As an accessible, research-oriented, and internationally connected program, GQMC allows participants to explore physics beyond the standard curriculum through real-world problem formats.
Students compete across three rounds, and the total prize pool is 1500 USD, along with international medals (1st, 2nd, 3rd Prizes), national awards, and Gold, Silver, and Bronze Honours for high-scoring finalists. All participants receive official certificates.
With only a pen, paper, and internet access required, students can participate from anywhere in the world. GQMC introduces participants to modern physics topics, actual scientific research, and a supportive global community of young scientists, teachers, mentors, and alumni.
