DR ILANA WISBY, CEO
In a recent interview Dr. Ilana Wisby, the founding CEO of OQC, expressed her passion for quantum science as more than just a business venture but a profound scientific leap towards understanding nature itself.
For Ilana, the essence of quantum computing lies in its unparalleled capacity to delve deep into the intricacies of nature, transcending the limitations of classical computers. Ilana, who actively consults on quantum impact for organizations, including the World Economic Forum and the UN, underscores the importance of inclusivity in the quantum space. This commitment to ensuring that quantum technologies are inclusive requires a diverse quantum workforce and a keen awareness of the global implications of the growing quantum divide. This awareness is one of the founding motivations for ensuring accessible quantum solutions and the driver of OQC’s mission: to put quantum in the hands of humanity.
I would not be doing this job and committing my life and my work to this, if I didn’t think it was net positive.
