LIVE BROADCAST


QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITION: FROM SCIENCE TO ECONOMICS
Pitch session organized by the General Partner, Gazprombank JSC
11:00 - 12:30

Quantum phase transitions are fundamental phenomena at the heart of the most intriguing states of quantum matter. Today, however, R&D in the field of quantum technologies is undergoing its own "phase transition": from purely academic research to technologies with real economic potential.


This pitch session will bring together scientists and engineers at the forefront of this transition. Participants will present breakthrough projects where a deep understanding of quantum phase transitions is transformed into specific technological solutions and business opportunities.




Key discussion points:


  • From theory to prototype: How does fundamental research serve as the basis for new quantum processors, sensors, or components?

  • Overcoming the Barrier: What technological challenges (stability, scalability, control) must be addressed for commercialization of quantum-effect-based devices?

  • The economics of quantum "singularity": Where and how will quantum-based technologies create new markets or radically transform existing ones (computing, security, metrology, new materials)?

  • Investing in the "quantum leap": What are realistic timelines for market entry and potential returns for investors in these high-risk, high-potential projects?

QUANTUM OF JUSTICE
Panel discussion organized by the General Partner, Rosatom – Quantum Technologies
13:00 - 14:30

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This year-long initiative celebrates the contribution of quantum science to technological progress over the past century and raises global awareness of its vital role in achieving sustainable development goals in the 21st century.


Much like the atom in the 20th century, quantum technologies are emerging today as a cornerstone of global scientific and engineering progress – a frontier where the future of humanity is being shaped.


At the same time, the quantum science is rapidly becoming a field of intense international competition. Countries without access to these technologies risk falling behind in both economic development and social sector.




Key discussion points:


  • How can we build a fair quantum future where development and progress are accessible to all countries and peoples?

  • How can we ensure equal access to knowledge and skills needed to unlock the potential of quantum technologies worldwide?

  • What role can international organizations and institutions play in shaping a new global "quantum ethics"?

  • How can scientific and technological diplomacy serve as a tool for building long-term international cooperation?

  • Is it time to establish a respected international agency – an analogue of IAEA – for the quantum domain?

  • What principles should be established today to govern the circulation of quantum technologies?

  • What role can Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation play in these processes, drawing on its unique experience in promoting peaceful use of nuclear energy on the global stage?

ART, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY: MUTUAL INSPIRATION?
Open Discussion
15:00 - 16:30

The world is changing at an incredible pace – yet at the heart of every transformation remains the human being. How can art, science and technology, by inspiring each other, not only create the new, but also expand human potential?


How do they help preserve our identity and pass on key values to future generations? What are the side effects? What is the other side of the coin?


This discussion will explore how can we direct the power of technological advancement to serve humanity – its creativity and its dreams of the future.
