Join us for a special session of our KT seminar series, co-hosted with the QTI.
We are delighted to invite Tommi Tenkanen to introduce quantum technologies and explain the impact they could have and to share some of the technical challenges that need to be solved before they can have that impact.
From emerging quantum computing to more mature sensing applications, quantum technologies are enabling unprecedented precision measurements, the ability to create new kinds of materials, and an exponentially faster way to process information and solve different types of computational problems. Progress is currently being made at a pace that has given the present era the name: the second quantum revolution. At the same time, countries and companies have entered a global quantum race and governments and investors are pouring money into developing the new technologies at unprecedented scale. What does all this mean, how can it change society and what opportunities does it create?
Bio: Dr. Tommi Tenkanen is a theoretical physicist, author, and management consultant. He did his PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Helsinki (Finland) in 2016, and has worked as a researcher in Queen Mary University of London (UK) and Johns Hopkins University (USA) between 2016-20, as a research and innovation funding expert at Aalto University (Finland) 2020-22, and as a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group doing global projects with companies and governments in 2022-24. Since 2024, he has been the CEO of Cygnus Quantum - a management consultancy serving organizations in deep tech and education. He has published three physics books for the general public and been an adjunct professor of theoretical physics at the University of Helsinki since 2017.
