- Entrepreneurship
Imagine a computer 158-million times faster than the most sophisticated systems we have today. That’s the promise of quantum computing—and it turns out, Canada is well on its way to becoming a global force in the development of that cutting-edge technology.
On this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, host John Stackhouse is joined by the CEO of Toronto-based Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc, Christian Weedbrook, to discuss both the promise of quantum, and how Canada can play a pivotal, perhaps leading role in the research and development of quantum-enabled applications. Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Founder and Chief Quantum Officer at Photonic and co-chair of the newly announced National Quantum Strategy of Canada, also makes a guest appearance.
