QUANDELA

About Me

Hey there! I'm Valérian, the guy who co-founded Quandela back in 2017. We're making some pretty cool waves in the photonic quantum computing world across Europe. Before jumping into the startup world with Quandela, I got my PhD in solid-state tech and quantum optics from Université Paris-Saclay. I sharpened my business skills with some entrepreneurship training at HEC Paris. I also helped kickstart the French Tech Paris-Saclay startup community and co-chaired it until 2022. These days, I'm leading Quandela as we build out the whole stack of photonic quantum computing – from hardware to software. We're creating solutions for all kinds of industries like energy, cybersecurity, and finance. Pretty exciting stuff!

Quantum Revolution: Myth or Strategic Leverage for Business?

Is the quantum revolution a mere utopia or a real strategic lever for companies? Mazyar Mirrahimi, Annick Gingras and Valérian Giesz will explore the technological advances and concrete opportunities offered by quantum computing for business.

Quantum Potential: Leaping Your Business Ahead

Quantum Computing pushes the limits of traditional technology, performing complex calculations at a record time, a feat beyond zeroes and ones that traditional computers cannot achieve today. While the field is in early-stage and faces scalability challenges, and many potential applications, promising business cases are starting to emerge from the R&D efforts overtaken. AI and machine learning, the automotive industry, healthcare, finance, transportation and weather forecasting are few realms in which Quantum Computing advancements are expected to completely flip the script, pushing many to advocate for businesses to develop their quantum strategies and gain a foot in the race. Meanwhile, the past few months have seen several major advancements in Quantum, potentially reshuffling the cards and closing on utility. What are the current and future applications in Quantum, and when should they be expected? Which industries are the most likely to reap the benefits of current research in quantum in the near future? What are the biggest barriers to commercial adoption, and when can businesses expect to see real quantum benefits?
