DESCRIPTION:Get the latest session information at
https://date26date-conference.com/programme#FS01\n\n\nAfter decades of
academic research on quantum computing and the latest Nobel prize for
physics for the research on Josephson junction, quantum computing has
transitioned into an emerging commercial frontier. While industry giants
such as Google, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft dominate the field, several
European start‑ups are advancing their own hardware and software
solutions. The European Commission’s funding programmes, coupled with a
growing talent pipeline, create a unique opportunity for a sustainable
quantum ecosystem in Europe. The panel participants are founders or high
level representatives of European quantum companies. The aim of the panel
is to present these companies to the DATE audience, highlight
technological profiles and capabilities and their expectations how they
want to compete with big companies. What is the realistic current status
of quantum computing and what is the vision, how quantum computing will
look like in the near future and it will fulfill its expectations, these
questions will be addressed by the panel participants. The audience will
be invited to participate in the discussion, if quantum computing will
have a prosperous future or will become a technological dead end.
