Jeremy O'Brien: The Quantum Revolution

Professor Jeremy O’Brien, co-founder and CEO of PsiQuantum delivers the 2023 Gerald Westheimer Lecture, chaired by UNSW Sydney’s Dean of Science, Scientia Professor Sven Rogge.

Quantum computing is finally moving from a scientific curiosity to a technical reality, promising to solve previously unsolvable problems.

In this special event, hear about PsiQuantum's approach to scaling and ultimately building the world's first fault-tolerant million qubit system, making it an exciting prospect for investors and industry.

In an interview with ABC’s Tegan Taylor, Jeremy will also share his insights on becoming one of the world’s best funded quantum startups, how he keeps his focus on the long game, and lessons learnt in building his company from the ground up.

Gerald Westheimer Lectureship

The Gerald Westheimer Lecture is a new biennial lecture series for UNSW Science thanks to a generous gift from Professor Gerald Westheimer AM FRS. This flagship initiative will invite eminent international researchers to spend time in residence at the University. While in residence, the Westheimer Lecturer will also conduct workshops for students and early career researchers from UNSW Science.
