Optimism meets skepticism at Quantum Summit in Chicago

Pioneers of quantum computing shared their dreams and skepticism about the fledgling industry Monday, while Gov. JB Pritzker said he thinks it’s already attracting companies to Illinois. Industry leaders foresee momentous changes growing out of quantum computing, tempered with the realization it’s a challenge to make money in the industry that’s still working on prototypes, and where major advancements may be years off. Just as the Stone Age and digital age were defined by the materials humans could control, SynthBits CEO and founder Berk Diler Kovos said, “People will be naming this era the quantum age.” The seventh annual Chicago Quantum Summit at the University of Chicago gathered academic, government and business leaders to discuss research, funding and the future. Quantum computing is aimed at using the subatomic forces of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems.
