The Brave New Quantum Economy

May 26, 2022
10:30–11:15 (Europe/Amsterdam time zone)

About this session

If a billion-dollar venture funding spike – the breaking of 100- and 200-qubit barriers – and government commitments at the highest level are any indication, the first commercial quantum applications are set to be deployed within a few years. What will the new quantum economy look like and what should companies and governments be doing now to get ready? This is a livestreamed session.
