The Quantum Week 2023 program features outstanding keynote speakers addressing topics of the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE23). The plenary keynotes are intended to fire up the conference attendees at the beginning of each conference day and provide food for thought to stimulate discussion at the end of the day. The keynote speakers will promote the virtues and state of the art of the different themes of quantum computing and engineering.
