Panel Abstract:
Countries are creating policies and investing heavily in developing components for a quantum network. These types of breakthrough technologies, including advances in photonics and semiconductors, hold immense importance for the future of information processing and secure communication. The potential of a national quantum network, able to securely transmit data across vast distances, can increase productivity of key industries—from healthcare and finance to cybersecurity, logistics and more. The stakes are high to advance Canada’s leadership and maintain global competitiveness in quantum science and technology. This panel will share how Canada capitalizes on the National Quantum Strategy and support made-in-Canada technologies.
