June 5th - Photonics and Quantum June 6th - Quantum
Recognised as one of Europe’s key enabling technologies of the 21st Century,
photonics (the science of light) holds immense potential for driving innovation
across all industries. Today, we stand on the cusp of a new era which will pave
the way for the development of advanced quantum-computing, communication and
sensing systems. At the intersection of these technologies lies a tremendous
commercial opportunity, ready to be unlocked. On this special focus day, we will
explore how photonics innovation is enabling progress for the quantum technology
field. Have you seen the light?

JEREMY O’BRIEN
Founder and chief executive, PsiQuantum
Prof. Jeremy O’Brien is co-founder and chief executive of PsiQuantum, a
quantum computing company soon to deliver the world’s first commercially
useful quantum computers.
Prof. O’Brien has dedicated 25 years to this mission, having identified
quantum computing as the most profoundly world-changing technology, due to
its potential to unlock critical solutions to otherwise impossible problems.
PsiQuantum has invented a ‘fusion-based’ photonic architecture to enable
utility-scale quantum computers to be manufactured in a conventional silicon
chip foundry, and leverage the full semiconductor, packaging and computer
systems supply chain, and achieve compatibility with conventional control
electronics, optical fibre networking and existing large-scale cryogenic
infrastructure.
Prof. O’Brien has published 150 papers with 40,000 citations (h-index 88); he
demonstrated the first photonic 2-qubit logic gate, invented the field of
Integrated Quantum Photonics, co-invented the Variational Quantum Eigen
Solver (VQE), and implemented VQE on a photonic chip. Prior to founding
PsiQuantum, he was Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at
Stanford and Bristol Universities, and Founding Director of the Centre for
Quantum Photonics/QET Labs. He has held visiting professorships at NTT, Osaka
University, Hokkaido University and the University of Tokyo, totaling approx.
two years. He received a Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales and is
an undergraduate and postdoc alumnus of the Universities of Western Australia
and Queensland, respectively. He holds a Royal Academy of Engineering
Research Chair in Emerging Technologies, and is a Fellow of the American
Physical Society and the Institute of Physics.

Former prime minister of Israel and board member, Quantum Source
Naftali Bennett became Israel’s 13th Prime Minister in 2021, leading the most
diverse government in the nation’s history. Prior to that, he served as
Minister of Economy, Minister of Education and Minister of Defense, and is
known for his innovations and bold reforms. Before moving into politics,
Bennett enjoyed a successful career as a tech entrepreneur. In 1999, he
co-founded information security company Cyota and served as CEO until the
company was sold to RSA. In 2009, Bennett served as CEO of cloud computing
start-up Soluto, which was later sold to Asurion.

Chief executive, The Metaverse Institute
Christina is a pioneer in the metaverse. She started her master research on
the topic in 2006 using metaverse to develop international strategies for
universities worldwide. In 2012, she completed a PhD in using digital twin
services in the metaverse to augment the AEC Industry.
Christina is an award-winning business leader who has 17 years’ experience
turning forward-thinking ideas into ultra-high growth businesses with global
impact. She has extensive experience working with government ministers,
universities presidents, and Fortune 500 CEOs on industry, innovation and
skills strategies.
She worked for QS, the leading world university rankings agency, between 2013
and 2020, leading China business. Starting from scratch, Christina grew the
UK-headquartered firm’s profile and commercial success in China. In January
2016, China’s Vice Premier highlighted the use of QS rankings in a keynote
speech, with the rankings impacting 5 years funding allocations to 3005
universities across China with 48 million students, and an total budget of
£750bn.
Christina was the first Chinese elected to the national executive of the UK
National Union of Students (NUS) since its foundation in 1922, and
represented the interests of one million international and EU students
studying at 600 UK higher and further education institutions who contribute
£30bn a year to the UK economy.
She has sat on 20+ advisory committees for UNESCO, the World Bank, the
Commonwealth, the EU, and UK Governments. She led many successful global
campaigns including the future of work and skills, equality, diversity,
inclusion, and international strategy. She led a successful campaign against
the Home Secretary Theresa May’s proposed legislation to restrict foreign
students’ visas, which persuaded the Minister to abandon some of the proposed
policies. Christina also contributed to the establishment of the Commonwealth
Students Association, representing 2 billion youth across 54 countries.
Between 2012 and 2013, she worked in the UK Parliament developing policy for

Supported by Nu Quantum
To deliver business-relevant services, Quantum Computing’s impressive
improvements in qubit performance need to be matched with corresponding efforts
towards scaling via industrialisation and modularisation – taking QCs out of the
lab and into the datacenter. Industry leaders discuss the architectures needed
to scale QC towards a Fault Tolerant and democratically accessible regime.

companies, governments and industry alliances working together. We’ll update on
the latest developments within the GSMA Post Quantum Taskforce, the pace of
global development, and the work IBM and Vodafone have been doing to support the
Telco migration. We’ll also demonstrate how the right tooling is going to be an
essential ingredient in scaling up fast enough to protect network operations and
