The Convergence Center for Applied Quantum Computing creates the industry collaborations that unlock the greatest potential for quantum applications. With a current focus on applications in the life sciences, we we address quantum applications from an industry first perspective, working closely with life sciences leaders to explore promising applications using applied quantum. Our industry advisory board includes leaders in the life sciences, investors and researchers, who, together, create an interdisciplinary community of experts.

We are building a community of life sciences leaders and quantum developers to accelerate the applications of quantum in the life sciences. We facilitate the connections that will enhance current life sciences processes and create new efficiencies with applied quantum applications.

Headquartered in Massachusetts, we are leveraging our existing science and technology ecosystem to build our leadership in quantum applications in the life sciences and collaborate with other regions to support the growth of the quantum industry.

What Makes It Different

We take a life sciences first approach to quantum applications and bring together leaders in the life sciences fields to ask the questions that will define best-in-class quantum solutions. We do this through curated gatherings that range from small salons to full scale events.

Audience

Our audience is life sciences executives who are focused on computational science, large data solutions and information technology within their companies in collaboration with researchers and leaders in emerging computational science companies who are committed to finding new solutions to the challenges of drug discovery and development through quantum applications.

Takeway

The significant potential of quantum requires the engagement of thought leaders from diverse fields. We are a unique group of individuals committed to realizing this potential of quantum. Participants in our community have the unique opportunity to shape this potential and be an active contributor to the growth of this industry.
