Building Tomorrow’s Quantum Workforce: Voices of Future Leaders in Quantum
The future of quantum innovation depends on the next generation of talent. In this dynamic closing panel, future leaders in quantum take the stage to share their bold ideas, breakthroughs, and visions for a thriving quantum workforce. Their stories will spotlight the skills, mindsets, and global collaboration needed to unlock quantum’s full potential and what’s needed now from governments, academia, and the industry to empower them.
Quantum for Good: Industry Leadership, Innovation and Real-World Impact
As part of the International Year of Quantum (IYQ 2025), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is launching the Quantum for Good track at the AI for Good Global Summit, taking place from 8 to 11 July 2025 in Geneva. This track will explore the potential of quantum technologies in advancing sustainable development, ensuring global inclusion, and setting the stage for ethical, responsible, and scalable innovation.
With only five years remaining to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leveraging transformative technologies such as quantum computing and AI is essential for accelerating progress in climate action, healthcare, food security, and digital inclusion. Both AI and quantum computing are game changers, capable of addressing complex global challenges that surpass classical computing capabilities. Together, they can enhance computational speed and efficiency, optimize data-driven decision-making, and drive advancements in fields such as materials science, logistics, and cybersecurity.
The New Next Gen
Hosted by Barclo Venture Studio, The New Next Gen is the Seattle Tech Week edition of Quantum Curio, an immersive and conversational event series designed to make frontier technologies feel more approachable and actionable. This session brings together quantum computing, AI, and space tech through a dynamic fireside chat and regional panel.
We’ll explore what comes after the AI boom, what quantum makes possible, and how we need to rethink infrastructure—like energy, cybersecurity, and data centers—if even half of these breakthroughs arrive on schedule. Nardo Manaloto, our fund partner & subject matter expert from Qubits Ventures, is our featured speaker.
Harvard Quantum Shorts Contest
In celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Harvard Quantum Initiative invites students ages 14–19 to participate in an exciting global competition!
Create and submit a short video that explores a topic in quantum science—whether it’s quantum computing, entanglement, superposition, or any concept that inspires you. This is your chance to showcase your scientific insight, creativity, and passion for discovery.
Selected winners will receive an exclusive opportunity to visit Harvard’s cutting-edge quantum research facilities and meet world-class scientists.
Quantum PR: Build Your Brand, Build Your Business
In this IYQ year, a blizzard of announcements from quantum tech companies, both tech giants and startups, already has generated unprecedented interest from mainstream media, including top-tier business publications. Competition for media attention has grown, too, making it more important than ever to know how to work successfully to generate legitimate (read: non-hype), impactful media attention.

In any nascent industry, winners are often those committed to communicating their company’s story from its earliest days to its grandest achievements, building a narrative and brand over time that wins the hearts and minds of customers, partners, and investors.
HKA Marketing Communications, the official PR agency for IYQ, is committed to educating quantum tech companies on best practices in public relations most relevant to quantum tech.
The first webinar in our IYQ webinar series will be with Mike Kilroy, HKA EVP and a 30-year veteran of tech PR including the last 6 years at HKA working directly with global quantum tech companies.
Join Mike in a free one-hour Zoom webinar designed to help you understand the rules of media engagement and apply best practices that will contribute to your company’s success now and in the years to come.
The webinar is at 8:00 am PT/ 11:00 am ET

Forum: Leverage Quantum’s Clean Tech for Energy
This event is part of our Innovation & Policy Series “EU’s 2040 Climate Targets: How could Quantum Tech make a difference?” that we organise on behalf of Quantum Delta NL, a quantum technology ecosystem that represents the forefront of Europe’s quantum sectors, and who is actively seeking to start a conversation on energy applications from quantum technologies between policymakers, energy industry leaders and quantum experts. We are pleased to organise this Forum, which will provide an opportunity to address the policy needs to bring quantum technologies to the market, as well as the financing needs, public and private, to ensure the growth and competitiveness of this effervescent ecosystem.
QuSantiago IV
En esta edición especial del QuSantiago, el encuentro dedicado a la investigación y desarrollo en tecnologías cuánticas, nos complace en anunciar su realización durante el presente año, reafirmando su compromiso con la excelencia académica y el avance científico. Este evento, que se llevará a cabo en conjunto con la Universidad Federico Santa María (Campus San Joaquín) y la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), representa una oportunidad única para el intercambio interdisciplinario entre instituciones de alto prestigio.
Enfoque Temático
En esta edición se abordarán dos ejes temáticos de alta relevancia en la investigación cuántica:
Sistemas Cuánticos Abiertos (USM)
Exploraremos las bases de computación cuántica y topología para entender la relevancia del anuncio de Microsoft y su nuevo chip Majorana. Además de comprender las bases de otra de las áreas más contraintuitiva como la termodinámica cuántica, donde se abordarán aspectos fundamentales para entender los ciclos termodinámicos básicos y su relevancia en máquinas y baterías cuánticas.
Técnicas para el Cálculo de Sistemas de Muchos Cuerpos (USACH)
Técnicas para el cálculo de sistemas de muchos cuerpos: Con la limitación de los computadores cuánticos actuales, técnicas para el estudio de sistemas de muchos cuerpos como Tensor Network tienen gran relevancia en estos días. En esta instancia abordaremos los aspectos básicos para cálculos que involucren Hamiltonianos de muchos cuerpos, como los es la técnica de Density Matrix Renormalization Group y cómo esta evoluciona a tensor network.
