Leaders in the fields of Quantum technology and Communications Systems will come together to discuss the impact of Quantum Technologies on Communications applications. This will be an interesting evening of discussion and debate with plenty of time for questions from the floor. The event will be followed by a drinks reception.

As our hunger and reliance on data increases do we need to look for new technologies to reach this gold standard, is Quantum Technology the answer? 

Bringing together experts in the fields of Quantum Technology and Communications Systems, this will be an accessible and engaging evening of discussion and debate. Pioneers from both academia and industry will introduce Quantum Technology providing perspectives on the current state of the art of along with a forward-looking view of the development, deployment and potential impact of Quantum Technologies in the Communications domain. This is an open event and will be accessible to all with an interest in the field. Pre-booking is essential.
