Quantum showcase 2024: A chance encounter with a New Zealand contingent to the United Kingdom

Scientists from NZ institutes including Te Whai Ao - Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies and Paihau-Robinson Research Institute were invited to the United Kingdom by James Araci who is the Lead Adviser for Science and Innovation at the British High Commission in Wellington.
If you'd like some more information about their visit I would suggest looking at this article from the Dodd-Walls Center.
With New Zealand having great representation at this event, international collaborations in the quantum space could bring in new investment to Aotearoa and enable our researchers and scientists access to facilities in the United Kingdom to further our quantum eco system.
It was great seeing some old friends, and of course in true Kiwi tradition we got together for a drink afterwards.

The showcase itself was a great show with new details of the quantum hubs being announced in the United Kingdom, bringing additional investment of over £100 Million to the Quantum fields of computing, communications, and sensing.
