The Optica Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition brings together the global community driving the next era of quantum technology. Quantum 2.0 harnesses superposition and entanglement in large-scale systems—such as quantum computers, networks and sensors—that move beyond the single-system capabilities of Quantum 1.0.
The program spans quantum computing, communications, devices, sensing, and metrology, alongside discussions of the ecosystem, commercialization and societal impact. Attendees will explore cutting-edge research, emerging applications and the opportunities shaping a quantum-enabled future.
