Felix Thomsen is the Co-founder and CEO of Iceberg Quantum, working to unlock the full potential of quantum computing sooner by designing the next generation of fault-tolerant architectures. He previously completed a PhD in quantum computing at the University of Sydney.
Sunrise Sessions
Featuring: Felix Thomsen. Quantum computing promises to revolutionize industries, but there’s one fundamental problem standing in the way: errors. Qubits - the magical building blocks of quantum computers - are fragile, and without effective error correction, the dream of useful quantum computing remains out of reach. Felix Thomsen, founder of Iceberg Quantum, is tackling this problem head-on. His vision? To make Iceberg the ARM of quantum computing - just as ARM’s low-power architecture enabled the mobile computing revolution, Iceberg aims to do the same for fault-tolerant quantum computing. By developing a breakthrough error correction architecture that reduces the number of physical qubits needed for reliable computation by more than an order of magnitude, Iceberg Quantum is unlocking the potential for commercial quantum applications much sooner than expected. At Sunrise, Felix will share how he’s navigating one of the biggest technical challenges of our time, why error correction is the key to unlocking real-world quantum computing, and how Iceberg’s innovation could shape the future of technology. If you want a glimpse into the frontier of computing - and the people building it - this session is unmissable.
