📢 Important Announcement
It is a joy to announce the launch of the OneQuantum Chapter in India.
OneQuantum is a platform dedicated to the global Quantum Tech community.
India is a leader in IT and IT-enabled innovation. This is the right time for all of us to engage, learn, network, and get ready to ride the wave of Quantum Technologies.
To make that happen, we need strong local communities that are connected to the global quantum tech community.
OneQuantum Africa Weekly Meetings
On June 2nd, we are glad to host Kimara Naicker. She is a Quantum Physics & Machine Learning Researcher. Kimara is a Ph.D. researcher in the Quantum Research Group and a part-time lecturer in the School of Chemistry and Physics at UKZN, South Africa.
She completed her undergraduate and Honours degrees in physics followed by her MSc in solid-state physics, during which she was an intern and a member of the emission Mössbauer collaboration at CERN.
We discuss her background, research interests, vision for quantum in Africa, and other interesting ideas.
Please invite your quantum tech colleagues.
Looking forward to having a good discussion.
See you at OneQuantum Africa as we collaborate, learn, and exchange.
Have a great week!
