Quantum Leap: The Path to Commercialisation
Creative Workshop: Explaining Quantum Without the Jargon
Jun 18, 2026, 6:15 PM - 6:45 PM GMT+1

Quantum computing is one of the most talked-about technologies of our time, but for many people, it's still incredibly difficult to explain. 

 

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use storytelling, metaphor, visual thinking, and simple sketching techniques to break down complex quantum concepts into ideas that anyone can understand. Working in small groups, participants will create their own visual explanations of quantum technologies, exploring how to communicate breakthrough science in a way that engages customers, investors, policymakers, and the public.

 

No artistic experience is required, stick figures are more than welcome! The focus is on clarity, creativity, and making the seemingly impossible feel accessible.

 

Perfect for founders, researchers, investors, students, and anyone curious about the future of quantum technology.

Liam Callebout is a London-based illustrator, live scribe and animator whose work brings ideas, events, and complex topics to life through visual storytelling. He specialises in ideation, storytelling, and cultural commentary, creating illustrations that do more than decorate, they communicate ideas, evoke emotion, and make abstract or dense content accessible. One of his primary strengths is live scribing, capturing events, lectures, workshops, and conferences in real time through visuals that reflect the flow of discussion, highlight key themes, and preserve the energy of live conversation. His clients have ranged across sectors: from academics and researchers to charities, businesses, and government institutions. Whether it’s distilling a conference dialogue into a single striking image, crafting a flowing animation that explains a sustainability proposal, or generating illustrations that speak to cultural or social issues, Liam’s work bridges the gap between content and clarity, turning spoken or written ideas into vivid, memorable art.
