SXSW 2025

Preparing for a Quantum Leap

Description:

Quantum technology, still largely in its experimental phase, holds transformative potential across multiple sectors, yet the focus remains predominantly on making quantum systems operational and practical. As we inch closer to unlocking its full capabilities, the implications for fields like pharmaceuticals and climate science to cybersecurity to logistics are profound, promising to revolutionize how we manage, secure, and optimize a vast array of processes and systems.
