The Quantum Opportunity Workshop – A Huge Thanks to Our Experts! To better equip our teams with the knowledge to support Australia’s growing quantum ecosystem, we recently hosted an internal Quantum Opportunity Workshop with Quantum Australia and Sydney Quantum Academy. Our teams work closely with the quantum industry but come from diverse, non-technical backgrounds. This session was an opportunity to deepen our understanding of quantum fundamentals, industry trends, and Australia’s capabilities, and learning together made it even more valuable. A huge thank you to: ?? Prof. Stephen Bartlett – for a deep dive into Quantum Fundamentals. ?? Prof. Gavin Brennen – for an in-depth look at where funding is flowing across quantum sensing, communication, and computing. ?? A/Prof. Alexander Solntsev – for breaking down the industry-specific use cases emerging today. ?? Prof. Peter Turner – for showcasing scholarship, internship and outreach opportunities at Sydney Quantum Academy what’s next for workforce development. ?? Dr. Maja Cassidy – for mapping out the landscape of Australian quantum companies, their international collaborations, and opportunities for engagement. #QuantumAustralia #SydneyQuantumAcademy #QuantumTech #QuantumComputing #TheQuantumOpportunity
