Why Quantum is Now Suddenly in the News

Mar 12, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

In late 2024, Google set off a quantum-related news cycle with their announcement about Willow. In the last few weeks, Microsoft and Amazon have jumped into the fray with their own big announcements. Is there suddenly real and significant movement in this space? Or is there something more at play here? In this session you will learn about the fundamentals of quantum technology, what it can do and what it cannot do. And why in every capital from Washington DC over Tel Aviv to Tokyo it is considered the most critical technology to our future.

Attend this solo presentation to hear André König (the CEO of Global Quantum Intelligence) analyze the current landscape as he separates hype from reality.
