Our Quantum Opportunity: Reimagine What’s Possible
Thursday, May 29, 2025
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
About the Event
The biggest challenges in quantum computing aren’t just in the science; they're in the systems, strategies and people that will bring it to life. In this session, Joe Vetere shares how a 20+ year career in technology leadership led him to quantum engineering at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Through his story, Vetere explores what’s needed beyond the lab to turn quantum potential into real-world impact. This session is a call to action for leaders across tech to get involved and reimagine what’s possible.
About the Speaker
Joe Vetere is a quantum engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he develops where he develops next-generation quantum communication systems, superconducting and photonic detector architectures, and benchmarking protocols for national-scale quantum computing initiatives. Having received research funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, he also contributes his expertise to the NASA Fundamental Physics Advisory Group and the Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium. His mission is to bridge the gap between classical systems engineering and the new frontier of quantum technologies
