The IEEE Quantum Week Panels brought together a diverse group of leading experts for engaging discussions on the forefront of quantum computing and engineering. These panels covered a wide range of critical topics, including hardware-software co-design, hybrid quantum-classical computing, quantum advantage, and the future of quantum applications. Discussions also delved into emerging areas such as post-quantum cryptography, fault-tolerant quantum computers, and the evolving needs in quantum systems engineering.

Panelists, representing both research and industry, shared their deep insights and fostered a stimulating dialogue that bridged the gap between theory and practice. They explored the challenges and opportunities in quantum programming education, workforce training, and the rapidly advancing frontiers of quantum information science and algorithms. These conversations not only highlighted the current state of the field but also set the stage for future innovations in quantum technology.

ParTec had the opportunity to be on the panel “Quantum Software Stack: A Quest for Technological Maturity”.
