Quantum Space

The Quantum Space Roundtable explores the convergence of quantum technologies and space infrastructures to create the next generation of secure, resilient, and sovereign global systems. As quantum computing, quantum communication, and satellite-based networks progress rapidly, this roundtable addresses how space will become the critical platform for deploying, protecting, and scaling quantum-enabled capabilities.

Time: 13:00 – 14:00

This session positions Quantum Space as the foundation for a future global architecture where quantum-safe security, space-based quantum connectivity, and orbital quantum computing work together to strengthen global resilience.

Core Themes

1. Quantum-Safe Technologies for Global Resilience

Participants will examine how the rapid arrival of quantum computing threatens today’s cryptographic standards—and how satellites, secure chips, and quantum-resistant infrastructures can provide a shield for governments, critical industries, and the digital economy.

2. Space as the Backbone of Quantum Connectivity

Space-based networks will become the most trusted layer for secure global communications. This roundtable explores how satellite constellations can deliver

This includes the transition from today’s classical satellite links to space-based quantum communication, such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and entanglement-enabled technologies.

3. Bringing Quantum Computers to Space

A major frontier in Quantum Space is the deployment of orbital quantum processors. Participants will explore how space environments can

This marks the beginning of Space-Based Quantum Computing as a strategic asset.

Strategic Goals of the Roundtable

A. Identify Alliances & Coalitions

Map out a network of partners to build a trusted Quantum Space ecosystem, including:

B. Define Joint Projects & Demonstrators

Focus on concrete initiatives such as:

C. Establish a Roadmap for a Trusted Quantum Space Ecosystem

The roundtable aims to outline a 3–5 year roadmap covering:

Honored to Speak on Yahoo Finance About Quantum Computing’s Impact on Formula 1

I had the pleasure of joining Yahoo Finance to discuss how quantum computing is transforming the future of Formula 1 and, more broadly, the entire landscape of high-performance engineering.

In the interview, I shared how quantum technologies — combined with advanced semiconductor design, secure hardware modules, and post-quantum cryptography — are reshaping everything from simulation to real-time optimization.  
  • Quantum acceleration for high-fidelity simulations F1 teams rely on millions of simulations to optimize aerodynamics, fuel strategy, and race dynamics. Quantum-enhanced models will dramatically increase both speed and accuracy, giving teams unprecedented predictive power.
  • Hybrid quantum–classical workflows I emphasized that the future is not quantum versus classical, but quantum plus classical. High-performance computing, embedded secure chips, and quantum-resistant algorithms will work together as a unified ecosystem.
  • Semiconductors as the foundation of the quantum era With initiatives in post-quantum chips, personalization centers, and secure IoT architectures, we are building the hardware backbone that will enable these quantum-driven applications — not only in motorsport, but also in space, healthcare, logistics, and national security.

The rise of quantum computing will impact every sector where milliseconds matter — and Formula 1 is the perfect proving ground.
