The first winner didn't even have a computer!

    Q: What if I can (significantly) beat the current record?

    A: In this case, submit your code and win the award and/or copyright your code and/or patent your ideas. You should be able to monetize your invention beyond the HKCP. This happened to the first winner, a Russian/Ukrainian who always had to cycle 8km to a friend to test his code because he did not even have a suitable computer, and who now has a lucrative job at QTR in Canada.

Quantum Technology Recruiting Inc. (https://ca.linkedin.com/company/quantum-technology-recruitin...)

Our guy, Alex Rhatushnyak, is listed as employee.

BTW, this is the first result on DuckDuckGo. (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qtr+company+canada)

Is it time to switch? ;)
