The Quantum Circle Summit and what Howest has to offer:

As a partner of the Belgian Quantum Circle community, the Cyber3Lab research group of the Howest University of Applied Sciences would like to draw your attention to an unmissable conference on quantum technologies.

Meet Howest Cyber3Lab and many other partners in the quantum ecosystem on the very first Quantum Circle Summit, scheduled November 14 at Sparks Meeting in the heart of Brussels.

You can find all event details and registration info here: https://quantumcircle.eu/summit/

Connect with 200+ quantum explorers and experts from various industries for knowledge exchange and co-innovation. Engage with EU and Belgian decision makers to drive quantum technology adoption and prepare for economical and societal impact.

It will be a great pleasure to see Julian Van Velzen, CTIO & Quantum Lab lead at Capgemini lead the conversation, together with representatives from Fujitsu, IBM, Nokia, Pasqal, Beltug, Belnet, imec, BOSA, BIPT and many others.

Come and talk to use at our table-top booth to investigate quantum innovation opportunities in research and education.

Let’s shape the future together!

What is Howest doing here?

As a University of Applied Sciences, we teach and develop the computer science practitioners of the future in many domains that will be influenced by quantum computing: cybersecurity, programming, AI, Web3, ... Hence, we follow this domain closely to make sure our education is future-proof.

Moreover, we research the practical consequences in encryption and cryptography, like PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) standards, crypto key distribution (Quantum Key Distribution) and SNDL (Store Now Decrypt Later).

Of course, many "friends of Howest" companies that we work with, are small and medium enterprises, so we have to translate the impact of quantum computing on their business. You can expect masterclasses and meetups to explain, demistify and illustrate quantum applications in an inspiring and understandable way.

To know more about these requirements, we would like you to fill in this "What is the impact of quantum technologies?" survey.
