Quantum computing is arguably one of the most exciting developments at the moment, with the potential to exponentially increase the speed and performance of computers and solve previously unsolvable problems in areas such as cryptography, materials science and optimization. The race to develop the first powerful quantum computer - in which the Weizmann Institute of Science is playing a major role - has implications for many industries and will have a significant impact on the future of the technology.

It was our pleasure to welcome Prof. Roee Ozeri (Vice President of the Weizmann Institute of Science) in Vienna last week. In the Weizmann Lecture 2023 "Fast and Furious: the Quantum Computer Race" Prof. Roee Ozeri gave impressive and comprehensible insights into this highly complex topic and the current state of research in this field.
