The HKA Difference

The Quantum Spin: Blog, Podcast and Newsletter

How do you solve a quantum puzzle?

April 3, 2025

From the topological to the philosophical, this year’s APS Global Physics Summit illuminated novel perspectives on how quantum computing can transform our understanding of the universe and how quantum ideas can play a role in our everyday lives. With the largest physics research conference in the world happening in Anaheim – right in HKA’s backyard – I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet some of the brilliant scientists deciphering the quantum puzzles that will unlock the next era of science and technology.

In this episode of The Quantum Spin by HKA, host Veronica Combs talks with Elena Yndurain, a professor, business leader and author. She teaches at IE Business School and specializes in the practical application of theory in Quantum, Artificial Intelligence, SaaS, and more. She created the first Quantum Computing curriculum for executives. In her new book, she analyzed four use cases in 11 industries. She and Veronica discuss working for startups, moving beyond early adopters, and making relevant use cases for quantum technology.

Discovery, Determination, Collaboration: Messages from the Podcast Booth 

March 27, 2025

While the topics driving the loudest quantum industry conversations are about advantage, stock price and qubit count, the people doing the work are much more interested in discovery, determination and collaboration. At the 2025 APS Global Physics Summit, I interviewed 10 leaders working on everything from electronics control systems to national labs research to games designed to teach the history of physics. We’ll publish these conversations in the next season of our podcast, The Quantum Spin by HKA.

They are well-connected and understand the dynamics of this ecosystem. Don't waste your time going to anyone else when HKA will provide you with professional service

In a complex Quantum Tech ecosystem, HKA delivered for us with actionable ideas on how to position our efforts, compelling story lines, and, ultimately, recognition of our performance In Forbes, Nature and many other media outlets.

Cambridge Quantum values the high quality of client service HKA has delivered during significant growth and international expansion.

I highly recommend HKA. Their innovative and pioneering approach as the first public relations agency in the quantum industry sets them apart. HKA is well-known through the quantum ecosystem for its level of engagement and thus understanding of the evolution of quantum technologies. With their expertise, businesses can gain a competitive edge in today's dynamic marketplace and elevate their PR strategy to new heights.

The Economist engaged HKA as PR agency for our Commercialising Quantum series of events in 2023. We very much enjoyed working with Hilary and her team and benefited from their ability to engage the relevant media outlets to generate press coverage of our event and broaden its reach. We were grateful for the support that HKA offered in amplifying our speakers and sponsors' announcements to the quantum industry press and felt assured that our partners were in safe hands when making introductions. Thanks again Hilary and team!

Our work speaks for itself and is found in the most respected media outlets.

That said, it is always rewarding to receive recognition from peers. HKA has received many dozens of awards for its work in public relations and marketing communications.
