Geneva Day #4 Quantum for All

From climate change mitigation to global agriculture, quantum computing has the potential to transform industries and societies, with recognition reflected in Nobel Prizes and billions of dollars of investment in recent years. Governments, industries and citizens are increasingly aware of the enormous challenges - technical, political and intellectual - that must be overcome if quantum computing is to be developed inclusively and deliver on its promise to help accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. Beyond the vision of making quantum solutions accessible to all, the session will address concrete actions, international governance instruments and infrastructures already in place or under development to ensure that no one is left behind in the quantum revolution.
