J.P. Morgan Innovation Economy Quantum & Photonics Lightning Talks Reception - #NYTechWeek

˜◡˜
◔◟◔RSVPs closed last Friday
Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and discovery at the frontier of quantum and photonics.
Last year, our J.P. Morgan Innovation Economy team gathered to celebrate 100 years of quantum mechanics — a century that took us from theory to lab and into market. The pace of progress has only accelerated. Photonics and advanced systems engineering are increasingly central to scaling quantum technologies — from interconnects and error correction to networking and sensing. The companies building at this intersection are tackling some of the most complex engineering challenges in frontier technology today.
J.P. Morgan's Innovation Economy team is bringing together the founders, investors, and technologists driving this momentum — for an honest, in-depth look at what it actually takes to build and scale quantum technology today.
