We’re on the brink of a groundbreaking new era in technology — artificial intelligence has already reshaped the world as we know it, and now, quantum computing is set to take the spotlight as the next frontier of innovation.
Join us for an exclusive look at the unimaginable potential of quantum computing from March 12-13. During two full days of dedicated quantum-related programming, explore its rapid growth and tech industry impact. Bonus, this quantum content seamlessly aligns with our Artificial Intelligence track (March 9-13), creating a can’t-miss opportunity to explore both game-changing technologies in one power-packed week.
With speakers that range from Charina Chou (Google), Heather Higgins (IBM), and Kenji Ohmori (National Institutes of Natural Sciences), the quantum sessions on March 12-13 at the SXSW Conference are listed below.
“Quantum computing is delivering tangible value today, but there is a lack of clarity about how to benefit from this technology now. At my ‘Realizing the Power of Quantum Computing Today’ presentation at SXSW 2025, I will cover how our customers are realizing the value of this groundbreaking technology and putting it to use in addressing optimization tasks across materials science, drug discovery, logistics, workforce scheduling, and resource optimization. I am looking forward to sharing my unique perspectives on quantum with SXSW attendees in March in Austin.” – Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave
Stay tuned to the 2025 SXSW Schedule over the next few weeks as more quantum sessions are added to the mix.
In addition to this quantum-curated content, join IBM CEO Arvind Krishna on Tuesday, March 11 for his keynote presentation, From Sci-Fi to Society: The Next Era of AI and Quantum Computing, which will further address this all-important topic.
Buy your badge today before prices increase on January 31 to experience all this incredible SXSW content. We look forward to seeing you in March!
