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 research trainees will present their research in a series of talks, followed by a poster session.
Thank you to the day’s sponsor!
