Genya Crossman is a lifelong learner passionate about helping people understand and use quantum computing to solve the world’s most complex problems.
So, she is excited that quantum computing is in the spotlight this year. UNESCO declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. It’s also the 100th anniversary of physicist Werner Heisenberg’s “On the Quantum-Theoretical Reinterpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relationships,” the first published paper on quantum mechanics.
Crossman, an IEEE member, is a quantum strategy consultant at IBM in Germany. As a full-time staff member, she coordinates and manages five working groups focused on developing quantum-based solutions for near-term problems in health care and life sciences, materials science, high-energy physics, optimization, and sustainability.
She attended the sixth annual IEEE Quantum Week, held from 31 August to 5 September in Albuquerque. This year’s event, also known as the IEEE…
