Infleqtion gathers leaders in London to find quantum’s worth

On November 3, 2026, Infleqtion will convene business leaders in London to focus on the commercial potential of quantum technology, moving beyond theoretical discussion. The Quantum Application Forum specifically targets executives from financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, materials science, energy and telecommunications, seeking to identify practical applications within their organizations, Infleqtion says. Colin Sullivan MBE, Managing Director of Infleqtion UK, says, “Our aim is that everyone who joins the forum leaves with a clearer view of where quantum could benefit their organization, and the confidence to take a practical next step.”

Quantum Application Forum Targets Commercial Value in Key Sectors

Infleqtion’s upcoming forum on November 3, 2026, will focus on translating quantum research into economic benefits for industries across the United Kingdom and Europe. The event, held at IET Savoy Place in London, addresses the need to identify practical applications for quantum technology within the financial services, healthcare and energy sectors. Attendees will participate in roundtable discussions centered on topics like quantum-AI hybrid workloads and resilient supply chains, aiming to accelerate the adoption of quantum solutions.

The forum’s structure prioritizes collaborative problem-solving, with morning plenary sessions leading into focused afternoon discussions. These roundtables will allow executives to compare strategies for enterprise readiness, technology roadmaps and investment decisions as quantum computing converges with existing IT and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Participants will also explore evolving standards and policies impacting quantum adoption, ensuring alignment between technological development and regulatory frameworks.

The event’s theme, “Integrating Quantum into National & Economic Growth,” emphasises the strategic importance of quantum technology for national competitiveness. Sullivan stated that the UK, alongside its European neighbors, has an opportunity to turn its strength in quantum research into a competitive advantage for its industries. He added that these leaders possess the insight to determine which problems are most effectively addressed by quantum technology, shaping its future development and deployment.

Infleqtion’s recent £9 million Innovate UK award for a deployable quantum radio frequency system highlights the company’s commitment to translating research into practical applications, according to the company. The forum’s exclusive nature, with registration limited to invited and approved participants, is designed to encourage open dialogue and focused discussion.

Infleqtion’s experience delivering the UK’s first 100-physical-qubit quantum computer to the National Quantum Computing Centre at Harwell positions the company as a key facilitator of this conversation. The company’s collaborations with organizations like NVIDIA, demonstrated in the world’s first materials science application using logical qubits, further solidify its role in driving quantum innovation.

Rusty is a quantum science nerd. He's been into academic science all his life, but spent his formative years doing less academic things. Now he turns his attention to write about his passion, the quantum realm. He loves all things Quantum Physics especially. Rusty likes the more esoteric side of Quantum Computing and the Quantum world. Everything from Quantum Entanglement to Quantum Physics. Rusty thinks that we are in the 1950s quantum equivalent of the classical computing world. While other quantum journalists focus on IBM's latest chip or which startup just raised $50 million, Rusty's over here writing 3,000-word deep dives on whether quantum entanglement might explain why you sometimes think about someone right before they text you. (Spoiler: it doesn't, but the exploration is fascinating)
