Shaping the Quantum Future: Insights from Spain's Quantum Leaders | Roundtable Discussion with Gloria Platero

Gloria Platero, ICMM's researcher, participates in this Roundtable Discussion during the International Quantum Matter Conference 2023.

During the last International Quantum Matter Conference 2023, held in Madrid (May, 23-25), four of Spain's leading figures in quantum science and technology gathered to discuss the significance of the conference, which serves as a melting pot for various communities engaged in the scientific and technological advancements of quantum information and quantum matter. Gloria Platero, a researcher at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM), CSIC, y part of this roundtable discussion.

This event aims to promote the germination of new ideas and collaborations at the leading edge of quantum technologies, emerging quantum materials, and novel generations of quantum communication protocols, quantum sensing, and quantum simulation.

This is an exclusive opportunity to step into the quantum universe and appreciate its importance in the modern world. From seasoned professionals in the field to curious newcomers, everyone can find valuable takeaways from this discussion. You can watch it here and learn how Spain has been helping to shape the future of quantum technologies and materials.

The organizers of the event participating in the round table were (in order of appearance):

Stephan Roche, an ICREA Professor and Group Leader at Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2), a leading figure in the theoretical study of quantum transport in graphene and topological insulators.

Gloria Palero, a Research Professor at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (CSIC), whose innovative research focuses on the quantum properties of materials.

Alba Cervera, a Senior Researcher at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and the coordinator of Quantum Spain, dedicates her work to building the future of quantum computing.

Ricardo Diez Muiño, an Ikerbasque Professor and the Director at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), leading numerous studies in the field of quantum and computational physics.

The discussion was moderated by Virginia Greco, a Scientific Writer at ICN2.
