Why nature is the ultimate computer.

Meet Pontus Vikstål, Quantum Applications Scientist at Chalmers Next Labs and one of our speakers at Techheads 2026. With a doctorate in quantum computing and over seven years in the field, Pontus works to take quantum computing from research to industry, with a focus on solving real-world problems like aircraft scheduling.

In this session, Pontus will explain what quantum computing actually is, why nature itself is the ultimate computer, and what aircraft scheduling and magnets have in common. You'll also learn where the technology stands today, and how your organization can become "quantum ready".
