LTC: Quantum - The Next Big Thing after AI?
23 June 2026
Quantum - the next big thing after AI?
A fascinating breakfast discussion hosted with Barclays Private Bank to explore why quantum computing is rapidly emerging as the next strategic technology race.
A special thank you to our great speakers:
Scott Young - one of the founding board members of Cambridge Quantum Computing. The company later merged with Honeywell Quantum Systems to form Quantinuum - now one of the world’s leading quantum computing companies.
Laia Marin, CFA - Vice President at Barclays Thematic Investing Research.
Simon Coles - Head of European Technology Hardware and Semiconductor Research at Barclays Investment Bank.
Together, we explored how quantum computing could unlock breakthroughs across industries - from accelerating drug discovery to developing new materials, improving energy systems, and solving complex optimisation challenges in finance and supply chains.
While widespread commercial adoption may still be some years away, the conversation is shifting from IF quantum computing will have an impact to WHEN and WHERE that impact will be felt first.
For corporates, investors, and policymakers alike, now is the time to start paying attention.
