techUK is excited to bring you the next event in its Future Visions Series, techUK's event series that identifies emerging technologies on the cusp of innovation that will push forward UK research and development, and one day revolutionise the UK tech sector. This event series offers the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in technology and what this might mean for your business, from those at the heart of its development
Photonics, the technology based on the generation, detection, and manipulation of light photons, is already critical across many applications today, including optical fibers, computer gadgets, and in the medical, military and manufacturing industries. Furthermore, the exploration and application of photonics is constantly evolving, including within the field of computing. The advancement of photonics in computing is highly anticipated with research across quantum computing and optical computing. But can these applications push through technological and engineering bottlenecks, and towards a bright future for photonic-based compute?
This session, as part of techUK’s Future Visions Series, will convene experts across the fields of photonics and compute to discuss the latest advancements and opportunities in this space. We will explore the industries that have the potential to be disrupted by this new method of compute such as telecommunications, medicine, and manufacturing, if the challenges facing are overcome. This is an opportunity to stay at the forefront of one of the most dynamic and rapidly-growing fields in technology, and see what emerging leaders in this field are developing.
Speakers are pioneers in this field, including ORCA Computing, Salience Labs and more. Agenda to be announced soon!
