By selecting a tool, we define what we can create. Our sense of possibility is shaped along the way. Here we are, relying on computers almost all day, which, despite their different shapes and sizes, are all fundamentally rooted in binary logic.

Meanwhile, we recognise that reducing complexities to binaries, dichotomies, or opposing poles no longer helps us address the interdependent challenges we face as humanity on our planet Earth. We are embedded in an organic system in constant flux, where nothing is ever just one or zero but always in motion.

Amid the hype around machine learning, the history of human inventiveness suggests that the machines we widely use today are far from the pinnacle.

We invite you to an evening on quantum computing and humanity. The Creative Leadership Salon is delighted to welcome Markus Pflitsch, CEO of Terra Quantum, an international quantum technology company, headquartered in Switzerland.

With a background in physics and mathematics, Markus began his journey as a researcher at CERN, later transitioning into the financial industry where he held leadership positions at several banks, before co-founding Terra Quantum AG. The company is equally dedicated to the manifold dimensions of quantum computing: scientific advancement, practical applications, business models, and philosophy.

We eagerly anticipate opening doors to deep conversations as we explore the depths of one of the most ambitious emerging technologies.
