Quantum Computing Summit London 2024: Editor’s Picks

Bringing together industry leaders and decision-makers, the Quantum Computing Summit returns on June 12-13, co-located with the AI Summit at Tobacco Dock, London.

The Quantum Computing Summit features keynote presentations, panel discussions, presentations and networking with quantum professionals. 

Here are Enter Quantum’s recommendations for sessions at the event.

Accelerating Quantum Computing Adoption: Enabling Industrial Use Case Exploration

A showcase of Digital Catapult's experience running the first Quantum Technology Access Program (QTAP) and how it enables industry use cases in optimization, machine learning and simulation.

The panelists is expected to explore the learning journey of QTAP participants, the results of running industrial use cases using Orca’s PT-1 quantum computer and estimating quantum computing resources with Riverlane’s Deltaflow Discover software.

It will also include the presentation of an energy grid optimization industrial use case.

Panel: Quantum Revolution: Hype or Reality?

A panel of speakers from E.ON, Unilever, Nestlé and Omdia discuss the near-term applications from long-term possibilities for quantum computing in energy, finance, materials science health care and more.

The panelists are to discuss how to identify the skills and training needed for businesses to leverage quantum technologies effectively and explore how enterprises can evaluate and prioritize investments in quantum computing for maximum impact.
