Philip Makotyn,Ìýexecutive director the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵbit Quantum Initiative, spoke on Sept. 9 before the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ General Assembly's Joint Technology Committee.

Makotyn was one of several people who spoke before the committeeÌýon the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Front Range quantum ecosystem, including Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ's role in quantum research; describing the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ quantum ecosystem including quantum sensing and computing; what quantum computing is (and isn't) and its applications across a variety of industries and problems.

Joining Makotyn in speaking before the committee wereÌýBen Bloom, founder and chief technical officer at Atom Computing; Dan Caruso, managing director at Caruso Ventures; Greg Rieker, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵbit associate director, Vogel Family Faculty Fellow and associate professor of mechanical engineering at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder; and Tony Uttley, president at Honeywell Quantum Solutions.

Focusing on an interdisciplinary approach to research and education in quantum information science and technology, theÌýÅ·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵbit Quantum InitiativeÌýcoordinates quantum activities at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder, catalyzing focus areas and research centers across the university.
