Quantum computing, sensing, and networking are critical emerging technologies that may one day solve unthinkably complex scientific and economic challenges. In the race for quantum advantage, many government are pouring large sums into quantum research and technologies. Yet with mainstream quantum applications still firmly in the future, how will governments continue to nurture this field in its shift to commercial viability? Moreover, how can authorities predict the new regulations needed for a quantum economy – and how can we collectively build a future in which humanity is enhanced, rather than threatened, by the power of quantum. Join us for a discussion of quantum policy and the role of government across local, national, and multilateral levels.

This event launches Quantum Commons, a new event series hosted by Swissnex in collaboration with several Boston-area quantum partners, including representatives from Atlantic Quantum, GESDA, Harvard, PASQAL, QuEra, and the UK Science and Technology Network. The series is designed as a platform for quantum players from various sectors to come together to discuss key issues, while helping to build community, awareness, and visibility for the Boston quantum ecosystem.
