Unlocking Room Temperature Quantum Computing

Join us for a deep dive into room-temperature quantum computing with Marcus Doherty, Co-Founder & Chief Science Officer of Quantum Brilliance, as he unpacks how synthetic diamonds and NV centers are moving quantum from the lab to real-world deployment.

💎 Diamonds at Room Temperature What makes nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond a compelling platform—and how room-temp operation reshapes reliability, footprint, and cost.

🧱 From Lab to Field How Quantum Brilliance is targeting GPU-sized quantum accelerators, what “rack-mount ready” really means, and the trade-offs between cloud access and embedded edge deployments.

🧪 Real-World Applications Where diamond systems are gaining traction first: optimization, ML acceleration, and especially quantum sensing—a vast, underexplored frontier.

📈 Economics & Scale Why room-temperature hardware changes the business model for quantum computing, and what it will take—materials, manufacturing, and partnerships—to scale to thousands of devices.

🤝 Partnerships & Ecosystem How collaborations across defense, aerospace, and research drive early deployments—and why a global perspective (and talent pipeline) is essential.

⏱️ Myths, Timelines, and What’s Next Common misconceptions about quantum hardware timelines, overlooked hybrid sensing opportunities, and how the path to practical impact may arrive sooner than many expect.

🎙️ Engaging discussions on:

• NV centers in diamond and the path to room-temp stability

• Scaling strategies and manufacturing hurdles for diamond chips

• Edge vs. cloud deployment models and economics

• Quantum sensing as a near-term breakout use case

• Talent, training, and building cross-disciplinary teams

• Partnerships that accelerate real-world adoption
