The Quantum Alberta Research Showcase includes talks from Quantum Alberta members from across the province, and provide networking opportunities for researchers and students, as well as with other invitees from across Alberta’s quantum ecosystem, including industry, government, and nonprofit.
Quantum Alberta members will present high-level overviews of their groups’ research, industry partners will share their interests in the quantum ecosystem, and additional partners from across the quantum ecosystem will provide remarks to the community.
Thank you to the day’s sponsors!
