Google, IBM, Microsoft and other tech giants to discuss future of this technology with physicists

Moscow: Top executives of global IT and high-tech majors, including Google, IBM, Microsoft and Airbus, and leading quantum physicists from over 20 countries will gather at the International Conference on Quantum Technologies 2019 here between July 15 and 19 to discuss the prospects for development of quantum technologies, the Russian Quantum Center (RQC) said on Wednesday.
The central theme of the forum is the application of the latest quantum technologies in industry.
“Large global corporations understand that in the near future the quantum devices and technology market will be comparable to the electronics and IT market. They are, therefore, already actively investing in the development of the quantum solutions in computing, new materials engineering, secure data transfer, sensors and other sectors,” said an RQC statement.
