Quantum is like fusion; always just out of reach, but with the promise to change everything once it does arrive. Also like with fusion—where an actual reactor is being built right on KTH campus—KTH is very competitive, especially when it comes to quantum communication.
Quantum key distribution used to be science fiction, but what is happening now in the lab and what’s being implemented in testbeds all over Europe, will fundamentally change how we think about cyber security. Impact on priorities and roadmaps will be huge, both for startups and for established corporates. And more importantly: business opportunities will arise that we can’t even begin to imagine.
Welcome to join us in this workshop to explore the future of quantum communication, where innovation meets new horizons and boundaries are redefined!
This workshop, organized by the Quantum Sweden Innovation Platform (QSIP) in collaboration with the National Quantum Communication Infrastructure in Sweden (NQCIS), welcomes all stakeholders in the quantum communication ecosystem.
Whether you are a researcher in academia or corporate R&D, a master's student in quantum technology or related fields, or simply curious about the fascinating world of quantum communication, you are more than welcome!
10:30 Act 1: Opening Panel
Gain insights from public sector, academia, and startup perspectives as we navigate the field of quantum communication.
Panelists
Katia Gallo, Professor at KTH and director of NQCIS
Beatriz Grafulla, Head of Emerging Compute, Ericsson RnD
Gemma Vall Llosera, Principal quantum engineer, Ericsson Innovation
Elena Dubrova, Professor KTH, expert in hardware security and post quantum cryptography
11:15 Act 2: Waveguide : a simulation exercise
Facilitated, in-depth discussion groups exploring specific topics within the field. Groups are arranged on-site, allowing you to choose the topic you are the most interested in.
12:15 Act 3: Closing panel
Concluding discussion over a lighter lunch with a collective reflection based on the insights from the break-out sessions.
