Published on 24/07/2024 in Webinars, keynotes and videos
At the annual Think NXT event, Jan Sonck, Quantum Innovation Lead at Proximus, and Catherine De Saedeleer, team up to reveal why this technology is becoming so relevant in the field of communication networks, cybersecurity and IoT.
Quantum technology is nothing new. Physicists laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics in the first half of the 20th century, describing the unique behavior of very tiny particles, like atoms, photons, and electrons.
So why do technology-watchers like Gartner state that Quantum will be one of the most influential technologies of the years to come, comparable to the impact of the Internet or AI? And why is a company like Proximus involved with Quantum?
This fascinating keynote sketches a broad history of the successive quantum technology revolution waves, before diving into practical examples of modern-day applications linked to quantum communications. It explains concepts like post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and quantum sensing, which revolutionize the IoT field with sensors offering unprecedented accuracy.
