StandICT.eu, which unites the ICT standard experts, organises regularly an inspirational webinar - called walk & talk. The next ediation will be on quantum technologies. You'll get as main takeaways: Overview of Standards patterns in the field, Ongoing initiatives & Future Directions.

Quantum Technologies will make it possible to do things that might seem unthinkable today. With quantum, it will be possible to perform sophisticated computational tasks, like modelling biomolecular and chemical reactions, that the most powerful supercomputers cannot currently manage. Quantum will allow us to send sensitive information safely to anywhere, or even diagnose diseases quicker by looking inside cells.

Europe has a long-lasting tradition of excellence in quantum research. This legacy is brought forward with the Quantum Technologies Flagship, a large-scale, long-term research initiative funded by the EU that brings together research institutions, industry and public funders, consolidating and expanding European scientific leadership and excellence in this field.

This webinar will deal with the “State of the Art” in Quantum Technologies Standardisation, discuss European Policy and Strategies for development of adoption of Quantum Technologies within the Digital Single Market, presenting expert contributions from European and International Standards Development Organisations (SDOs).
