How far are we in Quantum Computing? - Quantum Lab Launch

For our launch, we are hosting a two-part event. We will start with a presentation by Wolfgang Tittel from QuTech on Quantum Internet and where we are in its development.

Wolfgang Tittel (Fontenay-aux-Roses/France, 1970) is an experimental physicist, a professor at the EEMCS Department at the TU Delft, and a staff member at QuTech since 2018. Tittel received his PhD from the University of Geneva in 2000 for “Quantum correlation for quantum communication”, which was seminal in bringing quantum communication technology out of the laboratory and into the real world using deployed telecommunication fiber. His work has raised, and continues to raise, both scientific and public awareness and appreciation that the new technology is not restricted to contrived laboratory settings

After a short break for pizza and beer, we'll continue with a panel discussion the foreseen effects of Quantum Internet and computing on business and society.

We are honored to have the following experts joining us for the panel:

Adriaan Rol - PhD student in Leonardo DiCarlo's lab at QuTech working on fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Bob Dirks (PhD, MSc) - TNO systems architect working on technical projects related to free space Quantum Key Distribution (and part of the SeQure project).

Niels Bultink - from the startup QBlox that do electronics for quantum computing.
