"These technologies will change industries in dramatic ways, and advances are occurring so rapidly that to keep up, conferences like Quantum Australia 2023 are essential," said Prof Peter Turner, CEO of the Sydney Quantum Academy, a joint venture between four Sydney universities and the New South Wales state government which is hosting the international meeting. "We probably shouldn't be surprised it sold out so quickly."
More than 700 researchers, industry players and government leaders are expected to attend the three-day online and in-person meeting to hear from global leaders such as Keysight Technologies, IBM Quantum, Google, Amazon Web Services, and venture capital firms like IQT International and Blackbird.
Highly anticipated are keynotes from Australian Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic, Australia's Chief Scientist Cathy Foley, and the founder CEOs of start-ups Diraq and PsiQuantum.
Over 60 panellists on the program include CSIRO Chief Scientist Bronwyn Fox, New South Wales Chief Scientist and Engineer Hugh Durrant-Whyte and Celia Merzbacher, executive director of the U.S. Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C).
Delegations from the USA and the UK are also taking part for the first time, including representatives from the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre, and British quantum companies Riverlane and QURECA, with Infleqtion joining from the US. Local quantum companies like Q-CTRL, Silicon Quantum Computing, Quantum Brilliance and QuintessenceLabs will also cover developments in the sector, as well as KPMG, and cybersecurity specialists Senetas.
The three-day program will hear insights from top quantum experts on the state of the industry, cyber security in the quantum age, sustainability, quantum chemistry, commercialisation, software and hardware developments, the talent pipeline, the role of government in industry development and more on the latest in quantum science and technology.
In quantum computing alone, the global market is already estimated at US$35.5 billion and growing fast. Because of the enormous investments being made by governments and venture capital, this is forecast to reach US$125 billion by 2030.
"The potential of the quantum technology industry in New South Wales is astonishing," said Alister Henskens, the NSW Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, with the NSW Government the major backer of the Sydney Quantum Academy and the Quantum Australia conference.
"Modelling by the CSIRO in 2022 predicted quantum computing will generate $2.2 billion in Australian revenue by 2030 and nearly $6 billion by 2045, creating 8,700 new jobs by 2030 and 19,400 by 2045. The NSW Government is determined to make sure we play a leading role in this emerging industry in order for NSW to reap the benefits that are sure to come."
