NSSN's Chief Operating Officer, Nicholas Haskins, will attend the 'Quantum Meets Communications' workshop, initiated by Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr. Cathy Foley, and presented in partnership with CSIRO. This event is part of the 'Quantum Meets...' series, aimed at accelerating the adoption of quantum technologies across various sectors of the economy.

The emerging quantum industry will impact all Australians. Australian businesses must ensure they are prepared for the impact of quantum technology in their sector to maximise the opportunities it presents and build the demand. In 2024, the 'Quantum Meets...' event series will introduce the quantum opportunity to sectors across the economy, bringing business, government, and researchers together to identify industry challenges that quantum could address and define the problems that need attention.

Topics will include:

• Securing telecommunication networks in a post-quantum world

• Optimisation of communications networks/spectrum/routing

• Optical communications - terrestrial and space

• Logistics and operational efficiencies using quantum computing/AI and algorithms
