Quantum Tech 2019 | Alpha Events | 10 September 2019 | Sheraton Boston Hotel, 39 Dalton St, Boston, MA 02199, USA

The global business conference & exhibition for commercial applications of Quantum technology. Separating the hype from the reality when evaluating radically new forms of technology and science is difficult, but when the subject is as complex and esoteric as Quantum physics & mechanics, that problem is amplified. However, the reality is that Quantum computing and Quantum sensing & metrology technologies are moving from the lab to the shop floor. In addition, the existential threat posed to current secure networks by Quantum computing is driving real-world urgency in Quantum secure communications & cryptography.
