Exciting news from SPIE Photonics West! QED-C's Executive Director, Celia Merzbacher, took the stage to moderate a Quantum West panel focused on policy and legal aspects of the quantum industry, featuring brilliant minds in quantum technologies. Together, the panel delved into crucial topics, including the need for collaboration on export controls and benchmarking. The panel discussion also highlighted the need to stay vigilant against adversaries seeking access to sensitive information during collaborative efforts, and supply chain security emerging as a challenge.
As quantum technology advances, these conversations help to strengthen the marketplace. If you have any burning questions or want to dive deeper into the quantum discussion, please reach out to us at QED-C.
