Join the conversation + explore the quantum future!
The spring installment of the Meeting of the Minds series hosted by the NCWIT Higher Ed Alliance will take place from 1 – 2 pm PT | 2 – 3 pm MT | 3 – 4 pm CT | 4 – 5 pm ET on Thursday, April 10th, 2025, and will include a presentation about groundbreaking the quantum future, and how this game-changing technology will impact both computer science and the tech workforce.
Quantum technologies will be as important to the next century as semiconductors and their derivative technologies were to the last century. Join Corban Tillemann-Dick, CEO of Maybell Quantum and Founder and Chair of Elevate Quantum, for an exploration of quantum computing and its impact on the modern technology landscape. This session will discuss:
- Fundamentals of quantum technology
- Future applications that promise to reshape industries
- Implications for society
Explore how classical computing expertise intersects with quantum technologies and creates exciting opportunities for workers ranging from physicists and computer scientists to coders, welders, and technicians. Join the conversation to discover how we can work together to shape the quantum future.
Meet the Presenter
Corban Tillemann-Dick
As founder and CEO of Maybell Quantum, a venture-backed quantum infrastructure company based in Denver, Corban will share insights into quantum computing and its impact on the modern technology landscape. With a background in mechanical engineering and economics, he led Boston Consulting Group’s quantum computing efforts before founding Maybell, and is passionate about advancing quantum technologies and promoting innovation in the field.
Corban also chairs Elevate Quantum, a consortium NCWIT is proud to be a key member of as we work to provide the leadership needed to coordinate the efforts of more than 15 partner organizations and deliver comprehensive quantum skills-based curriculum and training.
