The world is gradually approaching the age of Quantum Information, where transformative quantum-based technology will radically change the way we think about complex computational problems. It’s still early days in the quantum industry, but leading organizations are already exploring sophisticated ways to leverage quantum computing in fields such as logistics, optimization, chemistry, molecular biology, advanced materials and others.
Bessemer Venture Partners is proud to work alongside a panel of distinguished thought leaders in the Quantum Information industry in order to understand the challenges and identify the leading solutions and technologies in the field. Our fellows represent future-thinking organizations that are already exploring various business applications for this frontier technology, and we are proud to bring them together twice a year to exchange notes on this evolving industry, share best practices and discuss the future of Quantum Information.

“Quantum Computing up-ends what we thought to be fundamental principles of computer science, promising to execute entirely new classes of algorithms beyond the practical capabilities of conventional computers. In the coming decades, QC will solve currently intractable problems in logistics, chemistry, drug development, materials science, cryptography, human cognition and more.”
"Global investments in quantum computing have risen dramatically in the past few years leading to significant breakthroughs in physics and engineering. While there are still a number of engineering challenges to tackle, we expect to see these breakthroughs turn into exciting commercial opportunities in the near term."
"Quantum computing is a paradigm shift in how we think about and tackle computational complexity. As the QC stack matures, it will bring about a sea change of innovation and enable humanity to tackle some of the hardest problems our species currently face."
