In this first session, you’ll learn the basic differences between classical and quantum technologies, what capabilities quantum is likely to usher in, and who stands to benefit the most from tools that are estimated to offer $1.3 trillion in value by 2035.
Webinar Presenter:
Dr. Duncan Earl. Co-Founder, President and Chief Technology Officer at quantum networking company Qubitekk
Dr. Duncan Earl, physicist and founder of quantum networking company Qubitekk, spent nearly 20 years conducting energy and defense-related research and development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the fields of quantum sources, quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Today Earl’s focus lies squarely in applying his findings toward building quantum networks, critical precursors to the coming quantum-enabled internet.
A nationally recognized pioneer in the field of practical quantum applications, Earl holds numerous patents, has served on steering committees for organizations including QED-C and NIST and frequently advises policymakers about quantum networking solutions to some of the country’s foremost challenges.
