Description

For many years of working in quantum optics research I have always had an interest in the applications of quantum technologies, and in particular in their transition to the commercial domain. I will discuss my two endeavours into two business that I co-founded, Universal Quantum Devices and QEYNEt. I will try to illustrate how keeping an open mind in the research laboratory can help identify business opportunities.
