This week IQT - join WIQ on Nov 4 at 5:10 pm EST
Next week, get a business education at The City Quantum Summit on Nov 10, it's free and virtual
Dear all,
Thank you for all of your wonderful notes wishing me well post surgery. The swelling is down, and I survived 7 sessions in the hyperbaric chamber and am trying to heal enough to be on camera this week for IQT. I look forward to getting my energy back.
Please join Women in Quantum at IQT this week. We will have a panel discussion with three scientists, all working at prominent startups:
Dylan Sim - Quantum Research Scientist, Zapata Computing
Kayleigh Cassella - Quantum Engineer, Atom Computing
Alicia Welden - Quantum Chemist, QC Ware
I am so excited to tell you about next week’s event which gives me the opportunity for my first travel outside of the US in 19 months. I am so excited! If you live in London and want to get together, please message me on LinkedIn — I’d love to catch up with you.
The City Quantum Summit on November 10th brings together a stellar line up from the finance sector and quantum sector to explain what they are working on, distinguish between reality and hype, and highlight opportunities. Hosted by William Russell, the 692nd Lord Mayor of the City of London, and Robinson Hambro, the free Summit takes place in the palatial surroundings of the Mansion House and virtually.
It begins around 13:45pm (UK time), with the afternoon panels including a conversation between Xavier Rolet KBE, former CEO of the London Stock Exchange and founder of a quantum Spac, with Ilana Wisby, CEO of OQC: Michael Cuthbert of the National Quantum Computing Centre, hosting a panel on Practice & Purpose with Denise Ruffner from Women in Quantum, Will Zeng of Goldman Sachs and Rupesh Srivastava of OneQuantum Argentina ; Diane Brightmore-Armour, CEO of Hoare & Co, moderating a panel with representatives from Bosch & Volkswagen; Stuart Woods, MD of Oxford Instruments with Marco Paini of Rigetti; David Williams, CEO of Arqit, on a Cybersecurity panel with Canadian government adviser, Michele Mosca, CEO of evolutionQ, and Ali El Kaafarani; Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange, moderating a panel on financing quantum with Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, CEO of NuQuantum, Jean-Gabriel Boinot of Quantonation and Anne Glover, CEO of Amadeus Capital; and Marco Pistoia, Head of Quantum at JP Morgan Chase in conversation with Kate Platonova of HSBC. And a few more…
Three principles are key to the Summit. Firstly, gender balance. Secondly, no jargon, no lingo: the Summit needs to be understandable to non-scientists. Thirdly, bringing sectors together is key: only through collaboration can we solve problems, foster business opportunities and create new jobs.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Have a great week!
