However, a suitable quantum software engineering workforce lags the technological advances of quantum hardware development, effectively slowing down software development to solve real-world challenges. A typical vicious circle is that professionals who mastered quantum computing principles identifying hot application areas are usually not software engineers, and software engineers who master algorithmic skills lack the necessary knowledge to understand quantum computation. Therefore, what does a quantum software engineer look like? What are the ideal skills required to get the job done? In this Birds of a Feather session, we want to stimulate a constructive debate over current challenges of quantum software engineering, where the audience will be exchanging opinions over topics such as workforce development, technical skills, and future perspective of the quantum software engineer professional figure, also aided by the presence of leading names in the field coming from IBM, The Hartree Centre, Quantum Brilliance and PsiQuantum.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-24c72ba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"24c72ba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7383b1e\" data-id=\"7383b1e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2a9044 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"f2a9044\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"terryjanssen\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90fcea2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"90fcea2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eea4597 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eea4597\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">BOF03 \u2014 Acceleration of Quantum Sciences &amp; Engineering, and Comprehensibility, Via Metascience<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">Organizers:<\/span><br \/>Terry Janssen, Janssen LLC, USA<br \/>Joanna Ptasinski, Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, USA<br \/>Barry Smith, Univ. of Buffalo, USA<br \/>Charles Clark, Natl.

To link the results of rapid advances with traditional life science concerns, a biological metascience was devised. It is based on a suite of evolving controlled vocabularies, called \u201contologies,\u201d that describe both traditional and novel data consistently across species and disciplines. The suite also includes ontologies that describe experiments, equipment, settings, and results. The reach of this new biological metascience thereby extended well beyond basic sciences to encompass procurement, construction, engineering, facilities and product life-cycle management. The underlying approach has been standardized as ISO\/IEC 21838.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With guidance by the U.S. Department of Defense OUSD(R&amp;E), we are now developing a quantum metascience, based on ontologies appropriate to quantum information science and technology (QIST). QIST encompasses mathematics, quantum sciences (both physics and the quantum information sciences), communications, engineering and \u2013 increasingly \u2013 finance and investment. QIST deploys a wide range of technologies and protocols that are also evolving rapidly and engages aspects of human and institutional infrastructure like those encountered in the genomics era. Development of common terminologies and understandings can both advance progress in QIST and enhance access by customers, suppliers and new entrants to the field.<\/p>\n<p>This session solicits interest\/engagement in this enterprise from all members of the QIST community<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0bc1077 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0bc1077\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e5a225b\" data-id=\"e5a225b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a1e7f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"8a1e7f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"bendanserapiglia\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b46d5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3b46d5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56c1eb7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56c1eb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">BOF04 \u2014 Generating Lift-Off with Intellectual Property (IP): How to Craft IP to Reduce Uncertainty in Quantum Technology Commercialization and Patentability<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">Organizers:<\/span><br \/>Brendan Serapiglia, Gates and Cooper LLP, USA<br \/>Benjamin Cox, Univ. of Chicago, USA<br \/>Harry Harden, Kilburn and Strode, UK<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Date:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Thu, Sep 22, 2022<\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Time: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">15:15 \u2013 16:45 Mountain Time (MDT) \u2014 UTC-6<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;font-weight: bold\">Abstract:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Startups understand the critical value of intellectual property (IP) for nurturing growth and obtaining venture capital funding. However, given the relatively nascent state of quantum technology, it can be tricky to formulate inventions in a manner that meets stringent patent office patentability requirements. This unique quantum intellectual property session will educate quantum engineers on the basic requirements for obtaining and evaluating IP protection for inventions in the quantum technology space. Seasoned patent attorneys having experience preparing patent applications on quantum technologies will provide insights from the US and European perspective. The session is co-hosted by a technology transfer specialist from the University of Chicago who manages a diverse portfolio of quantum technologies, including materials, hardware systems, and software. Their office is also experienced in spinning out successful startups in the quantum space (including Super.tech, which was recently acquired by ColdQuanta). Through a stimulating discussion of case studies tailored to the types of technologies being discussed at the conference, and an interactive question and answer session, attendees will gain an understanding on how to frame their inventions in a manner that highlights non-abstract and non-obvious working embodiments as well as drawing attention from potential investors. This can be particularly challenging for quantum computer technologies which are not yet ripe and in a patent landscape that disfavors patentability of software inventions or those inventions based upon natural phenomena. Attendees will also be introduced to methods for evaluating IP for building successful business relationships.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bd75fdb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bd75fdb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8229c52\" data-id=\"8229c52\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4062b5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"4062b5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"standards\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45e71a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"45e71a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5872fd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5872fd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">BOF05 \u2014 Quantum Standards<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">Organizers:<\/span><br \/>Tyler L.
