Marcin Dukalski, of the Aramco Research Center discusses his team’s focus on advanced computing for Aramco’s upstream business. He elaborates on the computationally intensive nature of subsurface imaging and how they are working to make it more manageable through quantum computing. He envisions a hybrid approach, combining quantum and classical computing, for the foreseeable future. By the end of the year, he expects end-users at Aramco to begin solving shallow subsurface anomaly estimation problems using quantum computers.

Klea Dhimitri of Hamamatsu joins Yuval to discuss the company’s role as a photonic component provider for trapped-ion and neutral-atom quantum computers. She explains key technologies such as photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), SPADs, and quantitative CMOS cameras, and how scaling to larger qubit arrays changes requirements for speed, resolution, and integration. Klea also shares how customer demand is pushing product innovation, reflects on her unconventional path into quantum, and offers advice for those looking to build careers in photonics and quantum technologies.
