DAY 1 THURSDAY JUNE 25TH

12:30 PM Bridging the Quantum Gap: Enabling Enterprises to Build Quantum Applications Today

Quantum computing hardware has attracted massive investment and made remarkable progress over the past several years. Much of the core technology has been substantially de-risked, shifting the conversation from "if" we will have utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers to "when". IBM reports that as many as 60% of Fortune 500 companies are actively exploring or engaging in quantum computing initiatives, providing a clear signal that enterprise interest has moved well beyond curiosity.

Still a critical gap remains: how do organizations begin building meaningful quantum applications ahead of fully fault-tolerant hardware? This session will explore how enterprises are approaching quantum readiness today, including strategies for workforce enablement, application development using simulation and current-generation tools, and practical frameworks for making progress now rather than waiting on the sidelines. Attendees will come away with a clearer picture of what it takes to move from exploration to execution — and how to position their teams for advantage as the hardware matures.
