Mackenzie is the Global Startup Evangelist at AWS. His days are spent traveling the globe to meet startups, share their stories, and connect engineering teams together. Every day there are a large number of startups launching on AWS across every imaginable industry. It’s Mackenzie’s mission to find stories of startups that are helping to improve the world and share these stories with a wide audience.
The goal of the Quantum Networks Workshop (QNW) is to strengthen the quantum networking community and accelerate the development of quantum networking technology. We will do so by bringing together the top researchers from all sub-fields of the community for an open exchange of knowledge and discussion of challenges and future opportunities of quantum networks in a broad sense.
Â
The QNW is a 3-day workshop with a mix of invited and contributed talks to ensure balanced input from all sub-fields including applications of quantum networks, quantum repeaters, quantum computing networks, integrated quantum photonics, emerging platforms, space-based quantum networking and quantum network software and simulation. The workshop also includes contributed poster sessions for stimulating the interaction and discussions between participants. After the workshop, a public white paper on promising opportunities of quantum networking technology will be distilled from the input of the participants.
Â
The event is the first of a biennial workshop series hosted at the Wylie Center and Tupper Manor at Endicott College located in close proximity to Boston. Accommodation and conference fee is sponsored by the AWS Center of Quantum Networking. For more information and questions reach out to QuantNetConference@amazon.com
