This is the safe space for anyone to discover, learn, create and break all things around Quantum Technologies. We are committed to helping raise awareness and involvement in the quantum industry and with quantum technologies. We know that in order to avoid the mistakes of past technological surges, we have to engage as many people with as wide a variety of interests and backgrounds as possible.
To date, very few (if any) people have actually hacked a quantum computer, and we want to change that! Something we demonstrated last year was that quantum computers are only a small part ‘magic’ - the rest are familiar API and tech stack technologies we see everywhere. These devices are set to become more and more commonplace as more time, money, and intelligence is spent on improving them - so let’s get quantum hacking!
Our ethos is to encourage participants to engage, explore, and discuss topics surrounding this new and burgeoning technology ecosphere that is in many ways very 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.
We have built on many of the things that were popular last year, but have also improved things and sought feedback from participants to make things even better this coming year! We were standing room only last year, with very popular events and debates alongside our workshops and talks, and we would like to build on the positive energy and momentum that comes from the Quantum Hackers.
We have many ideas for what we want to do with QV this year, and here are some of the more exciting ones:
- 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 labs.
- 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 believe this is a real possibility.
- We are also attempting to arrange to bring and demonstrate quantum devices that explore how the second quantum revolution that is underway will affect everything from sensors to data storage, and in industries as diverse as tunnel digging to healthcare.
- 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 explore (and wear) quantum computing.
- 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.
- We are considering a return with some more workshops, more debates, and more introductory sessions - developing on from what we presented last year, but showing new developments in both theory and practical quantum hacking and quantum tech. Our aim is to make learning this area as hands-on as possible.
- 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.
