Nous voici dans le 69e épisode de Quantum, le podcast de l’actualité quantique, toujours avec le duo Fanny Bouton et Olivier Ezratty. Au menu, une visite d’Olivier à Boston au MIT, puis à Montpellier, Fanny à Devoxx, une conférence sur les communications quantiques à Athènes, un agenda à craquer d’événements business et scientifiques dans les mois qui viennent. Puis l’actualité de Pasqal, Alice&Bob, QPerfect, Chipiron, Quandela, Quobly et C12, la sélection de la DARPA, le plan quantique Espagnol, Fujitsu et ses 256 qubits supraconducteurs, Kipu Quantum et ses avantages quantiques dans l’optimisation et quelques perles quantiques pour la fin.

Welcome to the 83rd episode of Decode Quantum, the quantum podcast where we like to get in depth in quantum science and technology. I was this time with Wilhelm Kaenders, the president and CTO of Toptica. Fanny is not there, again, she’s so busy, she’s like a minister, sometimes she has meetings that she can’t postpone, and so I’m alone today.
Wilhelm Kaenders is the co-founder of Toptica, because he had one other co-founder. He is now its president and CTO. The company is a worldwide leader in lasers used in mostly the academic world, but also in some parts of the industry. Wilhelm did his PhD in quantum physics at the Institute of Quantum Optics in Hanover, in the group of Dieter Meschede. He was behind the technology of the group of Theodor Hänsch at the Max Planck Institute, who became the laureate of the Nobel Prize in physics exactly 20 years ago, 2005.

Welcome to the 82nd episode of Decode Quantum, this time, with Chris Ballance, the cofounder and CEO of Oxford Ionics. This time, I am alone, without Fanny who is seemingly busy at OVHcloud for whatever reason and couldn’t be with us today. She’s like a Minister nowadays.
So, Chris, to introduce you, you are the cofounder and CEO of Oxford Ionics since its inception in 2019. Your cofounder is Tom Harty who is the company’s CTO. Before that, you were a senior researcher at Oxford University, where you did your PhD between 2010 and 2015. And by the way, just yesterday, you just inaugurated your new global headquarters in the Oxford Technology Park, 2,800 square meters, along with UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance.
