Quantum talks at London’s CogX festival 2021

Quantum Talks At London'S Cogx Festival 2021

Sadly the event is going to take place as a hybrid event – but all is not lost due to covid 19. Amongst the usually great line-ups and talks we have seen that there will be a few Quantum related talks, which we at QZ are looking forward to.

As Quantum becomes more mainstream, we are seeing greater mention of Quantum at conferences and festivals. CogX is no different and is one of the foremost technology events of the UK calendar with a host of invited speakers amongst the movers and shakers of science, technology and industry. So it’s no surprise that Quantum is now firmly on the list. We take a brief glimpse at some of the proposed titles for the upcoming event which takes place on the 14th to 16th of June 2021.
