Christophe Jurczak | From Quantum Physics to Venture Capital: Building the Global Quantum Ecosystem
<h1><b>Why this conversation matters:</b></h1><p>Quantum technology is moving from a field dominated by academic research into a global industry involving startups, investors, governments, national labs, and major corporations. But building a quantum industry is not only a scientific challenge. It also requires capital, infrastructure, talent, public policy, patient timelines, and new models for translating laboratory discoveries into scalable companies.</p><p></p><p>Christophe Jurczak has seen this transition from nearly every angle. He began as a quantum physicist, worked in government and defense, helped scale renewable energy and industrial technologies, experienced Silicon Valley during the early commercialization of quantum computing, and then co-founded one of the first venture funds dedicated to quantum technologies.</p><p></p><p>This conversation offers a rare opportunity to understand how frontier science becomes an investable ecosystem — and what it takes to build companies around technologies that may take years, or even decades, to reach full maturity. As the quantum sector enters a new phase, questions around hype, commercialization, public funding, industrial adoption, and global competition are becoming increasingly important. Christophe’s perspective helps connect the science of quantum technologies with the practical realities of building an industry around them.</p>

Irfan Siddiqi | Building Quantum Systems from Measurement Up
<h2><b>Join us for an exclusive Fireside Chat with Irfan Siddiqi</b></h2><p>Quantum computing is no longer defined solely by qubits — it’s increasingly shaped by how we measure, control, and integrate entire systems. Many of the breakthroughs driving progress today, from high-fidelity readout to real-time feedback, stem from advances in quantum measurement science.<br /><br />These capabilities are critical to scaling quantum processors and enabling practical error <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://correction.At" target="_blank">correction.At</a> the same time, innovation is being accelerated by regional ecosystems and national initiatives, where universities, national laboratories, and industry work together to build scalable quantum platforms. California has emerged as a leading hub in this model, anchored by UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, alongside a rapidly expanding startup landscape.<br /><br />In this conversation, Prof. Irfan Siddiqi — Professor at UC Berkeley, Faculty Scientist at Berkeley Lab, and Director of the Advanced Quantum Testbed — brings a firsthand perspective from the forefront of the field. A pioneer of quantum measurement science and real-time quantum control, his work bridges foundational physics, system engineering, and large-scale collaboration.</p>

Lieven Vandersypen | Building Silicon Spin Quantum Processors
<h2><b>Join us for an exclusive Fireside Chat with Lieven Vandersypen</b></h2><p>Semiconductor spin qubits promise scalable quantum computing, blending long-lived spin physics with semiconductor fabrication. Over the past two decades, Lieven Vandersypen has been at the forefront of this journey—pushing qubit control, larger processors, and architecture-aware experiments, while helping Delft become a model quantum ecosystem. This conversation offers a rare chance to hear from a scientist shaping both the field and the path from research to real-world quantum technology.</p>
