On August 23, you can listen to a lecture followed by an expert panel on how quantum computing and quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize entire industries and areas in a few years, such as energy production and power grids, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, as well as logistics, manufacturing and production.
The seminar is aimed, among other things, at you who work with strategic issues at a Swedish industrial company. You are curious about how emerging technologies can affect your industry and have a great interest in international collaborations and innovation.
Investments in startups with a focus on quantum technology have increased exponentially since 2018 in Silicon Valley. Five years from now, experts believe it will be clear which actors and countries are at the forefront of quantum computing and quantum computers.
Software and hardware providers such as NVIDIA, Google and IBM have launched new solutions for computing and storing data. This allows quantum algorithms and circuits to be developed and tested much faster. To this must be added research at world-leading universities that contribute to the rapid development in the field.
