FirstQFM attends Q2B25 Silicon Valley.

FirstQFM attended Q2B25 Silicon Valley, QC Ware's annual quantum technologies conference, held December 9–11, 2025 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Q2B brings together quantum hardware companies, software teams, enterprise users, researchers, investors, and policymakers focused on the path from quantum research to commercial deployment.

For FirstQFM, the conference was an opportunity to meet with companies across the quantum ecosystem and discuss where machine learning can help address practical barriers to quantum performance and scale. Conversations focused on partnerships, pilot opportunities, and the operational needs of organizations building or adopting quantum technologies.

The event's emphasis on applied quantum technology made it a useful setting for FirstQFM's work in AI-for-quantum: developing ML foundation models aimed at improving the performance and scalability of quantum computers.
