Warwick Quantum Launch Event

 Warwick Quantum is a new interdisciplinary research initiative that brings together the University of Warwick’s quantum technology work, encompassing the Departments of Computer Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as the School of Engineering and the Warwick Manufacturing Group. Our vision is to provide a bridge between these areas, making an impact on quantum computing and quantum technologies at all levels, from theory and foundations to hardware and industrial applications.

We are hosting the Warwick Quantum launch event in Warwick on Friday, July 11, 2025. The speakers will include Dmitry Budker, Sir Peter Knight, Helena Knowles, Gerald Milburn, and Michael Cuthbert.

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.

Quantum Perspective: The Art of Interference

In celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), the Dino Zoli Foundation and DZeAsia are hosting an art collective exhibition in Singapore (at The Arts House) during the Formula 1 Grand Prix (1-7 October). This initiative will unite Italian and Singaporean artists to delve into the fusion of quantum science and artistic expression.

Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of quantum science and technology, UNESCO has designated 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. As part of this global initiative, the Swiss Quantum Ecosystem is organizing a weeklong series of specialized events from October 13–19, with the Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland playing a central role in the program.

The Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland brings together academic researchers and industrial R&D teams to facilitate exchange, collaboration, and the rapid advancement of quantum technologies. The event features inspiring keynote talks, panel discussions, and ample networking opportunities. With significant public and private investment accelerating the transition of quantum technologies from research labs to real-world applications, industrial stakeholders are increasingly vital—providing both enabling technologies and the commercialization expertise necessary to drive progress. The program will span key domains of quantum innovation, including quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum instrumentation, and quantum communication.

OPTICA Webinar : Catching Photons, Decoding Qubits: Unlocking Qubit State Readout with Trapped Ions and Neutral Atoms

Quantum computers are at the forefront of emerging technologies, with trapped ions and neutral atoms among the most promising platforms under development. These systems depend critically on photonics for qubit state detection, using the presence or absence of fluorescence—captured via emitted photons—to determine the quantum state of atoms or ions. This webinar offers a comprehensive overview of both trapped ion and neutral atom architectures, emphasizing the role of photonics in reliable and efficient qubit state readout.

Attendees will gain insights into the latest detection and imaging technologies used for qubit readout and mid-circuit measurement, including PMTs, SPADs, EMCCD cameras, and the ORCA-QUEST 2 qCMOS camera. The discussion will cover key trade-offs in speed, sensitivity, system integration, and scalability. The session will conclude with a forward-looking perspective on the challenges and innovations that will shape the future of qubit detection and photonic integration in next-generation quantum processors.
