This Panel Discussion aims to explore the current landscape and future directions of quantum technologies. The session will critically assess the state-of-the-art advancements and address the prevailing hype, particularly surrounding quantum information processing. The panelists will delve into various aspects of quantum technologies, including quantum computing, where they will evaluate the realistic capabilities and limitations of current advancements.
We intend for the discussion to encompass not just quantum computing, but also related technologies such as quantum metrology and sensing, quantum simulations, quantum communication, and the fundamentals of quantum science.
The Panel Discussion will provide insights into practical applications and theoretical advancements, helping to separate realistic expectations from overhyped projections. As we approach the 100th anniversary of quantum physics in 2025, this discussion will offer a timely opportunity to showcase the current status and future potential of quantum technologies. The session aims to give a balanced and forward-looking perspective, designed to inform and inspire the next generation of scientists and industry leaders.
