About the workshop
Quantum computing is moving from the lab into industry, and the companies building it need far more than quantum physicists. In this session, Pepijn Kluytmans, Field Application Engineer at QuantWare, shares his own path into the field and takes you behind the scenes of one of the fastest growing tech industries.
He shows how big the opportunity really is, who is racing to build the first useful quantum computers, and how QuantWare is taking a leading position in making that happen. You also get a clear, beginner friendly explanation of how a qubit works, followed by a small hands on case to put it into practice.
Whether you study engineering, chemistry, materials science, computer science or something else entirely, you leave with a better picture of the roles that exist in quantum and how your background could fit in.
