It was great to see Francesca Schiavello, Applications Advisor at OQI, recently leading a panel discussion exploring quantum computing use cases for sustainability at the recent Q2B Paris! Francesca was joined by two active members of our community, Stefan Knecht from Algorithmiq and Samuel Horsch from Quandela, who are collaborating with OQI to develop quantum computing use cases that address real-world challenges and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs)! 🔬 Their work highlights how quantum computing can contribute to tackling areas such as drug discovery and water pollutant removal. A big thanks to Q2B for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation around quantum for sustainability!🌍 #OpenQuantumInstitute #QuantumComputing #IYQ2025 #Q2BParis

🌍 At the end of September I had the pleasure of leading a panel at the Q2B event in Paris, joined by two panelists and colleagues, Stefan Knecht from Algorithmiq and Samuel Horsch from Quandela, that are currently working with OQI – Open Quantum Institute on bringing forward targeted quantum use case applications tackling the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 🔹 The panel set the scene by talking about initiatives led by the likes of OQI, XPRIZE, and Q4Bio, which are working to accelerate quantum computing solutions to solve global challenges. 🔹 Stefan and Samuel shared how their collaborations with OQI are targeting specific societal impacts, from drug metabolism to removing pollutants from water, showcasing the potential of quantum computing beyond traditional research areas. 🔹 We closed with a conversation on broader sustainability-focused use cases outside the OQI framework, and explored which domains might benefit the most from quantum in the future. A big thank you to the panelists for their insights and expertise, and to everyone working to ensure quantum technologies evolve not just for progress, but for purpose. The panel, "Quantum Computing Use Cases for Sustainability", will be available shortly on Q2B's Youtube channel. #QuantumComputing #Sustainability #OpenQuantumInstitute #UNSDGs #InternationalYearofQuantum #QuantumForGood #TechForImpact
