Quantum-Ready Kubernetes: How Do We Get There? - Nikhita Raghunath & Natalie Fisher, Broadcom; Paul Schweigert, IBM; Ricardo Rocha, CERN ; Tomas Gustavsson, Keyfactor
Friday April 4, 2025 11:00 - 11:30 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room B
As AI continues to evolve, quantum computing is poised to disrupt Kubernetes in ways we can’t ignore. By 2035, the US government will only procure quantum-safe solutions, and if our infrastructure isn’t ready soon we’ll be scrambling to catch up.

This panel brings together experts to explore:
- What quantum computing is & why it’s a game changer
- How to orchestrate quantum workloads on Kubernetes
- Middleware needed to bridge classical and quantum resources
- Redesigning infrastructure to meet NIST’s quantum-safe standards with an agile long-term strategy
- Building infrastructure for real-world use cases like scientific simulations
- How quantum machine learning can help run AI workloads

You don’t need to be a quantum expert to join! You’ll walk away with actionable insights on architectural trade-offs for running quantum workloads and learn how to implement quantum-safe security. This is your chance to spark fresh ideas & take the lead in shaping the next decade of technology!
