OneQuantum Africa news, ideas and updates
Quantum in Africa Summit from May 12-13 | With a Career Fair and great speakers from across the continent
Dr. Yaseera Ismail, Professor Mourad Telmini, and Distinguished Professor Andrew Forbes are among great speakers we are lining up for the OneQuantum Africa | Quantum in Africa Summit.
The Quantum In Africa Summit Career Fair will be held at the end of each day soon after the keynotes and panels at the end of each day. Companies will present their company culture and specific career opportunities to the Summit attendees. This is a great opportunity for both new job seekers and those seeking a career change.
Meanwhile, we urge everyone interested in the career fair to submit their CV for review by prospective employers. Please send your CVs to brooke@onequantum.org
so that you can be included in our database.
This event is inclusive and open to anyone who is interested. Please share this note with your friends, and encourage them to attend!

As we celebrate World Quantum Day 2021, we are pleased to host Florian Frowis, R&D Collaboration Manager at ID Quantique SA.
Florian is responsible for ID Quantique's collaborative projects and is actively creating new collaboration opportunities. He has a strong background in quantum physics with a Ph.D. from the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and five years of post-doc research experience at the University of Geneva in the Group of Applied Physics.
He will give an overview of quantum-based security focusing more on QKD and QRNG.
