About the event
Quantum breakthroughs are transforming science and industry. This event will cover what scientists and engineers need to know today about the impact of quantum across sectors and scientific disciplines, and explore sectors and careers where quantum technologies play an increasingly important role.
Gemma Shepherd will give a broad overview of quantum technologies including sensing, computation, and cryptography, and explore how future developments in each of these may impact different market sectors and areas of science. We will challenge common misconceptions around quantum technologies, and provide a clear outlook ahead to answer the question: “What are Quantum Technologies, and why should we care?”. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion exploring the current impact and future opportunities of quantum technologies across diverse sectors and professional roles, with panelists Gemma Shepherd (PA Consulting), Leonie Mueck (nPlan), and Namshik Han (University of Cambridge). Schedule:
