Dr Sivan is a quantum physicist and a tech entrepreneur. He is a prominent figure in the global race towards harnessing quantum's power, one of the biggest technological revolutions our species has ever known. Combining a deep knowledge of quantum theory, and his position as CEO of a quantum computing startup, Itamar is determined to make useful quantum computers a reality.
The new millennium is going to be nothing like any other human civilization has ever seen. Technology will evolve to new horizons far beyond anything we can imagine today. The dawn of quantum computers is likely to be the number one driver for that and is no longer science fiction.
Predicting future technology awaiting us in the upcoming millennium and its influence on humankind is like expecting a caveman to have anticipated computers' emergence. It is practically impossible. Listen for a revolutionary discussion on the untapped potentials of technology.
