Now that SEMICON West is over, that summer vacation you dream of is closer than ever.

Before you head off to the beach, mountains or somewhere exotic, have a look at the photos of the keynote session and talks that were part of ES Design West, a first-time co-located event at SEMICON West.

ES Design West included a robust program of six Meet the Experts sessions with a total of 26 presentations and a techTalk session that had two speakers and a panel. Additionally, 22 exhibitors took the leap and helped pioneer the first ES Design West. Presentations will be available to ES Design West attendees.

A special nod to IBM who brought its IBM Q quantum computer to ES Design West showcasing quantum computing architecture built upon decades of semiconductor industry advances. Attendees saw demos of how the IBM Q Experience quantum cloud services platform and Qiskit, an open source quantum software framework, are used to program and experiment with real IBM Q systems.

Below are a set of photos from SEMICON West and ES Design West that captured the mood and enthusiasm that dominated the week in San Francisco. They were taken by Paul Cohen, senior manager of the ESD Alliance at SEMI.
