With regards to the CEO Summit, Dr. John Martinis, the master inventor and CEO of Quantala added: "We have entered an exciting era in quantum computing as many groups are building complex quantum systems out of different physical systems. With a large number of organizations now building quantum computers, an increasingly important metric is component and systems performance."
Dr. Vikram Sharma, CEO of QuintessenceLabs remarked: "As our lives become increasingly digitized, safeguarding data — our most valuable resource — has never been more critical. The advent of quantum computers at scale, likely within a decade, will challenge methods currently employed to protect sensitive information. Prudent risk management would suggest near-term development of cybersecurity roadmaps that will safeguard against quantum-enabled adversaries — remarkably, quantum-derived technologies are part of the solution."
This unique event will kick-start provocative discussions to be continued on 10 January 2022 at the Quantum Computing Innovation Summit. This next conference will feature exclusive keynote presentations such as "The Outlook for the Quantum Computing Industry to 2025 and Beyond" by Matt Johnson, CEO of QC Ware.
