Quantum enhanced devices, such as quantum computers, sensors, and crypto-systems, hold immense promise and are at the centre of a global push to harness and utilise quantum phenomena. Ireland is well positioned to make significant contributions in this rapidly developing arena. In this context over it's 9 month duration the partnership entailed by EQUITY aims to: provide a map of the expertise in quantum science in Ireland, develop a national cluster to enhance all-island impact in this emerging arena, and engage at all levels to demonstrate benefits of quantum science and a quantum literate society.
The project is one of 11 funded via the Irish Research Council's New Foundations scheme as part of the Shared Island Initiative from the Department of the Taoiseach. Details of events and outputs will be updated as progress in the project is made.
WP1 -- Early Career Event The Quantum Festival @ UCD is scheduled for September 29th and 30th and includes a public lecture by Dr. Eleni Diamanti. Details to come.
