✨ One of the benefits of being a supporter of the University of Latvia is the opportunity to meet in person with exceptional minds such as Vyacheslavs Kashcheyevs—one of the globally recognised academic leaders shaping the future of quantum technologies 🚀🧠
His latest research focuses on enabling technologies for the future quantum internet, in particular shallow, dynamically tunable quantum dots and controlled single‑electron wave packets, including universal scaling laws for adiabatic tunnelling and microscopic modelling of on‑demand electron sources ⚛️🔬
Why quantum computing matters for the FinTech ecosystem (and crypto in particular) – click on below article link to see the answers of Vyacheslavs Kashcheyevs:
- Can quantum computing eventually crack private keys used in cryptocurrencies? 🔐
- How does a quantum internet differ from the internet we use today? 🌐
- What is the global impact of this research, and why is it relevant for the financial services industry? 💳🏦
Q‑Day has major implications for FinTech far beyond cryptocurrency, because it threatens (and also enables) capabilities across payments, digital identity, open banking, capital markets infrastructure, regtech, and cloud security.
Cooperation with Vyacheslavs Kashcheyevs and the University of Latvia offers a unique opportunity to be part of an evolutionary technological breakthrough—one that has the potential to affect every area of our lives, particularly given our growing dependence on advanced computing ⚡️
Thank you, Enno Ence, Zaiga Pūce and Diana Smite for a warm welcome!
