Quantum technologies are transitioning from laboratory curiosity to technical reality. Today, small-scale quantum computers with 53 qubits have been demonstrated, but what can they do? What kinds of business opportunities exist and what are the challenges ahead? How and when should my company get engaged?
MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) and the Center for Quantum Engineering (CQE) are pleased to present a special webinar and panel discussion with business and government leaders and researchers in quantum computing hardware and software sharing their insights on the current lay of the land, opportunities, and challenges of quantum computing.
We feature leaders from industry members of the CQE Quantum Science and Engineering Consortium (QSEC), the CQE industry membership group. QSEC membership enables industries to engage with MIT faculty, students, and each other to explore the promise and applications of quantum technologies.
Please join us in these webinars to hear and discuss with the experts the latest in quantum computing technology.
