UofG & Keysight Workshop:
Accelerate Quantum Innovation
from Design to Commercial Products
Together with Keysight Technologies, the Centre for Advanced Electronics at the University of Glasgow is delighted to host a workshop on Accelerating Quantum Innovations.
The University of Glasgow and Keysight Technologies invite participants to explore the dynamic landscape of quantum technologies and discover key insights that drive progress from conceptualization to market-ready quantum products. This event will feature a comprehensive overview of the quantum innovation journey, emphasizing the critical stages from initial design and development to the successful commercialization of quantum products. Experts from leading UK Quantum companies will share valuable perspectives on overcoming challenges, leveraging cutting-edge tools, and optimizing the quantum development lifecycle.
The evening includes tours of our Quantum Circuits laboratories and our world-first on-wafer MHz-THz facility.
Attendees are encouraged to bring along a poster to present at the event; the best poster(s) will be recognised by a Keysight-sponsored Best Poster Prize.
Workshop Topics:
- Quantum Chipset (QPU) Design and Simulation
- Commercial Quantum Use Cases
- Flicker Noise Characterization in Cryogenic CMOS Controller for Quantum Computing
- Scaling for Commercialization: How to control more than 1000 qubits
- Poster presentations, with a Best Poster Prize, sponsored by Keysight
- Industry Collaboration and Networking
Join us to accelerate your understanding of quantum innovation and contribute to advancing quantum technologies from design to commercial products. Be a part of the conversation shaping this transformative field's future.

Technical Programme
Speakers & Presentations
Professor Martin Weides, Director of the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre and Founding member of the Quantum Computing Application Cluster.
Presentation title: TBC
Bio: Martin Weides is an expert on experimental solid-state physics at the interface with material science and electrical engineering. My main research interest lies in coherent nanoelectronics, with a focus on quantum spintronics, hybrid qubit systems and quantum computing, simulation and sensing with superconducting quantum circuits. The spectrum of published work ranges from quantum information processing, Josephson junctions, material science, to microwave resonators and qubits. Among others, he obtained grants from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the European Research Council. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2019, has served on the editorial board of Applied Physics Letters since 2019 and was elected to the European Society for Applied Superconductivity board in 2021.
Dr Fabien Massabuau
Presentation title: TBC
Bio: Fabien Massabuau joined the Department Physics as a Chancellor’s Fellow in September 2019. His research focussed on wide bandgap semiconductors for ultraviolet optoelectronic devices, with a main emphasis on α-Ga2O3 and h-BN. Fabien has authored 40 peer-reviewed articles cumulating >1500 citations, 2 book chapters, 1 mobile application and is involved with Doctoral Researcher Awards (committee member), SN Applied Sciences (editorial board).
