A forum on building datacenter-scale quantum computers and accelerating the timeline to fault-tolerance.

QDA Inaugural Forum

 
26 June 2025
 
Control Room A, Battersea Power Station
 
London, UK
  • Session One

    Scene-setting: finding inspiration from classical compute and other fields

    How have monumental scientific and technological feats been realised in the past? Which of these lessons apply in the journey to utility scale quantum computers?
  • Session Two

    Volume: building robust quantum processors at scale

    What approaches, opportunities and challenges underpin volume manufacturing, testing and characterisation of quantum processors? Which supply chains are key?
  • Session Three

    Scaling out: interconnecting quantum processors

    What are the leading approaches to distributing high-quality quantum entanglement between processors? How do we enable scalable solutions for building modular architectures?
  • Session Four

    The Datacenter: delivering a commercial quantum computing service

    How do quantum error correction approaches need to evolve to bring the best performance out of hardware? What role will datacenters play in enabling the integration of quantum computing machines into our digital infrastructure?
