Webinar: How Materials Can Enable Commercial Quantum Technologies
Presenter: Noah El Alami, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx
Date: Thursday 12 February 2026
Quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications are three cutting-edge technologies set to impact cybersecurity, healthcare, and aerospace, among many industries. However, their potential relies on developing high-performance materials that can create stable quantum systems while remaining cost-effective and scalable for commercial deployment. Materials opportunities in quantum technologies span across superconducting chip manufacturing, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and implanted defect centers in artificial diamond.
This webinar draws on insights from the full report "Materials for Quantum Technologies 2026-2046: Market, Trends, Players, Forecasts" which contains over 30 company profiles, 7 new granular forecast lines, and detailed analysis of materials and manufacturing opportunities in the quantum technology market. The total market opportunity for superconducting chips, PICs, and diamond for quantum technologies is anticipated to reach US$3.38 billion by 2036 and US$18.9 billion by 2046 with a total CAGR of 23.1% over the full forecast period.
This webinar will deliver:
• An introduction to quantum technologies, with a brief overview of the quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications markets.
• Material platforms for quantum technologies, with opportunities across superconductors, photonics, and nanomaterials.
• Deep dive into the emerging opportunities for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in quantum computing.
• Market forecast and key takeaways.
