Quantum Research & Innovation: Welcome!

April 16, 2024
I’m thrilled to welcome you to the first issue of Quantum Research & Innovation!

There are so many intriguing research & development (R&D) advances going on within the quantum realm—all at once, everywhere around the globe—that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with them all. But we’ll bring you as many of the coolest ones as we can via a mix of contributed articles and staff-written features.

We'll also introduce you to quantum companies and people doing amazing things within this space, and provide analyst updates about how the quantum realm and its supply chain are evolving.

It’s truly mindbending how much quantum R&D is underway—and its potential to revolutionize so many fields.

In this issue, our cover story highlights quantum-inspired phase imaging work led by Radek Lapkiewicz’s Quantum Imaging Lab at the University of Warsaw in Poland—and a big thank-you to Jerzy Szuniewicz for our fantastic cover image!

We also have fabulous contributed pieces from Quantum Science and Alice & Bob, an introduction to Vescent and Quantum Corridor, and a timely quantum supply chain update from Doug Finke of Global Quantum Intelligence.

To anyone who loves physics, photonics, or simply wants to learn more about quantum R&D: this one’s for you.
