On Tuesday 28 April, the European Center for Quantum Sciences (CESQ) had the pleasure to welcome a delegation from VivaTech for a visit of our center organised by the Région Grand Est.
This visit was an opportunity for Guido Pupillo to present the quantum ecosystems that CESQ is actively helping to shape, at the Strasbourg, Grand Est and Upper Rhine levels, through initiatives such as MaQuEst and UpQuantVal, in partnership with the University of Strasbourg, CNRS, the Eurométropole de Strasbourg, the Région Grand Est and Interreg Rhin Supérieur. He also shared an overview of where quantum computing stands today and where it is headed.
Shannon Whitlock gave a tour of the aQCess platform, an open quantum computing infrastructure designed to be accessible to a wide range of scientific and industrial communities. Anna Whitlock and Guido Masella, from QPerfect, a startup hosted at our center, also presented their company and ongoing projects.
The interest shown by one of Europe’s leading tech events sends a strong signal: quantum computing is gaining momentum. As Guido Pupillo put it: “Beyond the hype, quantum computing is a real and tangible promise.”
A warm thank you to Julie Lamandé and Guillaume Chapuisat from VivaTech, and to Cécile Marter from the Région Grand Est for this great visit.
