Quantum computing: scaling from university lab to industry — •Jan Goetz and IQM Team — IQM Quantum Computers

Quantum computing has made its way from purely theoretical concepts in the 1980s through scientific breakthroughs in academia to full industrial efforts nowadays. A typical path, especially in Europe where large tech corporates like in the US or China are missing, is to create university spinouts to commercialize the technology. In this talk, I will discuss the question of what is necessary to create such deep tech companies out of academia on the example of IQM. I will introduce the European strategy for quantum computing which highlights the concept of quantum accelerators, where quantum computers are connected to supercomputing infrastructure. In addition, I will introduce concepts on how industry can be engaged even though commercial quantum advantage has still not been reached.
