EQUALITY Project

Yesterday, November 26th, EQUALITY partner Da Vinci Labs and La Fabrique du Futur co-organised the second edition of the Da Vinci Dialogues: Deep Tech for a Desirable Future! From project partner Pasqal, Krisztian Benyo, Ph.D. provided insights on how quantum computing can drive breakthroughs in solving complex industrial problems that can reduce our environmental impact. The event hosted by the ISC Paris Campus featured exceptional speakers to explore the transformative power of deeptech innovations and One Health. This holistic approach addresses the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. By integrating these areas, we can better address global challenges like #climatechange, #pandemics, and #foodsecurity, making it a vital framework for sustainable innovation and future well-being.

Unlocking the Past and Future with Quantum Tech: Insights from Lisbon 🚃 and Hamburg ⚓️ This week, I had the exciting opportunity to connect with quantum experts and policymakers from across Europe at the European Quantum Technologies Conference in Lisbon #EQTC2024. One of the highlights ⭐️ was the impressive demonstration of quantum gravimetry applications for archaeology 🕵️. As a fan of history, it’s fascinating to see how quantum technology is being used to create “gravity maps” 🗺️ that uncover hidden tunnels and the rich history beneath the bustling streets of Lisbon 🚃. It was great to feel the excitement around the advances in quantum technologies and their potential for current and future applications in industry 🏭, with recognition not only from scientists 👩🔬, but also from policymakers 🏛️. Returning to Hamburg ⚓️, we can already see this in action this week with the opening of the DLR showcase by our mayor, Peter Tschentscher✂ . This event presented recent achievements of the DLR quantum computing initiative, including their research into ion trap quantum computers, and highlighted Hamburg’s position as a quantum hub 🔬. At Capgemini, we are proud to contribute by bridging the gap between academia and industry through the #EQUALITY project, which was previously also kicked off at the #ZAL in Hamburg ✈️. Many thanks to the organizers of both events 👏 and to my colleagues Andreas Kötter & Gaston Pukies for enabling us to gain valuable insights from both events! I’m looking forward to next year’s EQTC in Denmark, although I will miss the pastel de Nata.

Concluding our coverage of the 2024 #AlainAspectSymposium, we began the second day with Georges-Olivier REYMOND (Pasqal) presenting how the power of quantum technologies can help us build a more sustainable future. The event continued with a series of panels discussions. In the first, we heard from leaders in policy and investment: Bob Ledoux (ARPA-E), Nikolay Dimov (EIC Fund), and Morgan Sheil (World Fund), moderated by Olivier Tonneau (Quantonation). The second discussion highlighted the success of regional ecosystems and initiatives driving quantum innovation, featuring insights from Tomoyo Matsuoka (QunaSys), Vincent Aimez (Université de Sherbrooke), and Guillaume AUBARD (iXcampus), moderated by André König (GQI). Finally, in the third panel discussion Stéphane Tanguy (EDF), Josh Caldwell (Sensorium), and Xavier Aubry (Da Vinci Labs), moderated by Johan BOULLET (IOGS), explored new collaboration models between academia and industry to accelerate real-world quantum solutions. EQUALITY Partner Da Vinci Labs was present in the 2024 Alain Aspect Symposium in Paris, France. This year it focused on “Quantum & Climate”, serving as a crucial platform fostering interdisciplinary collaboration by bridging the gap between quantum scientists and individuals engaged in climate change.

EQUALITY Partner Da Vinci Labs is present in the 2024 #AlainAspectSymposium in Paris, France. This year it focuses on “Quantum & Climate”, serving as a crucial platform fostering interdisciplinary collaboration by bridging the gap between #quantum scientists and individuals engaged in #climatechange. The first day of the symposium started with a discussion about the potential intersections of quantum computing and climate science featuring Tim Palmer and alain aspect, moderated by the insightful Etienne KLEIN. This was followed by a session on climate modelling by Pierre Gentine (Columbia University) highlighted the gaps in our knowledge in climate modelling to understand and mitigate climate change and different solutions to overcome these gaps including artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The morning continued with a computer science perspective into the state of quantum computing hardware by Carleton Coffrin (Los Alamos National Lab). Next, Aurora Clark (University of Utah) explored the role of quantum computing in computational chemistry and materials analysis for building sustainable energy solutions, followed by Robert Whitney (Université Grenoble Alpes), who highlighted the importance of minimising the energy consumption of quantum computing without reducing its benefits.
