How to entangle academia and industry in quantum messiness?

Our second event will be more in the form of a panel because we have 2 guests.

Quantum information technologies are seeing an accelerated pace of development in recent years where scientific results in academia are beginning to get translated into viable commercial solutions.
As exemplified by the groundbreaking quantum supremacy results by Google in 2019, multiple companies and startups are building a quantum technology ecosystem starting from machine hardware all the way to making these machines available on the cloud.
In this panel, we will discuss current progress in the development of quantum hardware in academia, and challenges in scaling up towards practical applications. We will also discuss opportunities in the global quantum technology ecosystem and how Serbian computer scientists, engineers and physicists can contribute to this exciting new tech.

Our panelists bio:

Marina Radulaški is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis and the head of the Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory. Her academic training includes a Ph.D. in applied physics and postdoctoral training in electrical engineering at Stanford University, as well as two undergraduate degrees in physics and computer science at the University of Belgrade and Union University in Serbia. Prof. Radulaski’s international experience in quantum and solid-state physics research was obtained at Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Hewlett-Packard Labs, Oxford University, the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna, Helmholtz Center Berlin, the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Science, and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. She was selected among the Rising Stars in EECS in 2017 and named 30-Under-30 Up and Coming Physicists by the Scientific American in 2012.

Ognjen Marković is a 6th year Ph.D. student in the Schleier-Smith lab at Stanford University working on a cold-atom quantum simulation platform. He obtained his B.A. and M.Sci. degrees in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, while getting experience at research center DESY in Germany and Weizmann Institute in Israel. He is particularly excited by how we can use the quantum machines we build in the near term to tackle some very hard problems. When he is not troubleshooting devices in the lab, he likes to cycle around the Bay Area and play his bass guitar.

The event will be held entirely in the Serbian language.
