When systems are engineered to relay or extend “quantum weirdness” from the nanoscopic scale of atoms to the macroscopic scale of humans, amazing things can happen. Twentieth-century quantum systems (the transistor and the laser) ushered in the computer age and the information age. Twenty-first century quantum systems (computers, sensors, next generation timing, etc.) are emergent; the disruptive potential is tantalizing.

Almost all of these nascent quantum systems require lasers and photonics, representing both an opportunity and a challenge. In this talk, Scott Davis discusses the complexity of lasers-for-quantum, presents the technical and economic landscape, and presents paths forward for how ruggedized lasers and photonics solutions from Vescent will usher in a new quantum age.

He also presents how Vescent, a spin-out of NIST and JILA, is playing a critical role in the Colorado quantum tech-hub, Elevate Quantum, to enable and accelerate the quantum 2.0 economic scale-up.
