 iscover\, learn\, create and break all things around Quantum Technologies.
  We are committed to helping raise awareness and involvement in the quantu
 m industry and with quantum technologies. We know that in order to avoid t
 he mistakes of past technological surges\, we have to engage as many peopl
 e with as wide a variety of interests and backgrounds as possible.\nTo dat
 e\, very few (if any) people have actually hacked a quantum computer\, and
  we want to change that! Something we demonstrated last year was that quan
 tum computers are only a small part ‘magic’ - the rest are familiar AP
 I and tech stack technologies we see everywhere. These devices are set to 
 become more and more commonplace as more time\, money\, and intelligence i
 s spent on improving them - so let’s get quantum hacking!\nOur ethos is 
 to encourage participants to engage\, explore\, and discuss topics surroun
 ding this new and burgeoning technology ecosphere that is in many ways ver
 y different from what has gone before in technical revolutions - but there
  are many hallmarks that are the same\, and which we can use to shape this
  new paradigm of computing. That conversation is essential to bring before
  some of the most talented and brilliant technologists going\; the hackers
  at DEF CON.\nWe have built on many of the things that were popular last y
 ear\, but have also improved things and sought feedback from participants 
 to make things even better this coming year! We were standing room only la
 st year\, with very popular events and debates alongside our workshops and
  talks\, and we would like to build on the positive energy and momentum th
 at comes from the Quantum Hackers.\nWe have many ideas for what we want to
  do with QV this year\, and here are some of the more exciting ones:\n\n- 
 Another Quantum CTF - this time\, with more resources\, more challenges\, 
 and a secret project QOLOSSUS challenge that we are collaborating on with 
 some very cool people to build and add to the challenges and immersive lab
 s.\n- We plan to bring a real quantum computer and quantum devices to hack
 ! - now that there are commercially available devices and enough interest 
 in DEF CON from quantum computing companies we have engaged with\, we beli
 eve this is a real possibility.\n- We are also attempting to arrange to br
 ing and demonstrate quantum devices that explore how the second quantum re
 volution that is underway will affect everything from sensors to data stor
 age\, and in industries as diverse as tunnel digging to healthcare.\n- Our
  first badge - A mesh networked collaborative group Quantum Simulator with
  a Quantum Networking simulation working with experts and research groups 
 we are building a collaborative experimental platform for people to explor
 e (and wear) quantum computing.\n- We want to have an ice breaker Quantini
  time cocktail hour for folks with Quantum Computer Music - this would be 
 a great way for Quantum Hackers at DEF CON to have fun and meet others.\n-
  We are considering a return with some more workshops\, more debates\, and
  more introductory sessions - developing on from what we presented last ye
 ar\, but showing new developments in both theory and practical quantum hac
 king and quantum tech. Our aim is to make learning this area as hands-on a
 s possible.\n- We are also planning on expanding significantly the work on
  Quantum Life - more sessions\, and more engagement to realise more of the
  ways that quantum technologies will affect our lives\, society at large\,
  and consider ideas of privacy\, anonymity\, integrity\, and beyond\, in a
  post-quantum world.​\n\n. \n \n\n\n.​
