New Frontiers

Quantum computing promises to upend our digital world by delivering dramatically faster computation to solve problems too complex for classical machines.  

Our deep dive into this technological paradigm shift highlights the challenges and opportunities it throws up for the connectivity ecosystem and society. From quantum-secure encryption to real-time traffic optimisation across vast networks, quantum will play a vital role in creating a more resilient infrastructure for tomorrow’s digital society.  

And for the public, quantum’s ripple effect could transform healthcare, climate modelling and financial systems — turning the impossible into the everyday. 

Activities 

• Quantum Technologies Summit: identifying key quantum technology use cases and understanding where the telco industry needs to prioritise investment and resources.
• Demo Sessions on New Frontiers Stage 

Features 

• Quantum Telco Zone: exhibition showcase of real-life use cases and demos. 

Exhibitors

"The telecommunications industry, as a key enabler of a digital, connected society, has been at the intersection of global, disruptive change. Quantum technologies are beginning to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible, and there is an opportunity to unlock revolutionary capabilities for next generation networks and all the vertical industries that use them. IBM, as a global leader in quantum computing, with a broad ecosystem of partners aimed at bringing useful quantum computing to the world, welcomes the GSMA’s 'New Frontiers' initiative to explore how quantum technologies can shape the mobile industry. This is the dawn of an exciting chapter, defined by new possibilities and new opportunities that will empower individuals, industries and communities."
