Ambassador Stéphane Dion Embassy of Canada in France and Antoine Petit Chairman & CEO CNRS 🌍 kicked off Day 3 of Canada-France Quantum Alliance (#CAFQA). CAFQA is constructed of 16 Universities, 8 each from Canada & France with collabs in quantum sensors, computing, matter &talent #quantum

#CAFQA (Canadian-France Quantum Alliance) has 4 themes: -Communications & Optics - Sensing & Metrology - Materials & Circuits - Simulation & Computing The themes map two national #quantum strategies (in Canada Quantum Materials is a horizontal technology supporting the themes)

Lovely evening at the residence of Ambassador Stephane Dion in Paris with the Canada- France Quantum Alliance delegation #CAFQA The workshop was a great start to future collaborations between Canada and France #quantum #quantumtechnology Antoine Petit CNRS 🌍 NSERC / CRSNG

Great visit to Munich Quantum Valley which promotes quantum science & technologies and has impressive educational outreach. We explored areas for Perimeter Institute and MQV to expand interactions Thanks : Rudolf Gross, Tatjana Wilk, Anca Ionescu munich-quantum-valley.de

This made me laugh at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics The sign for the social area

Great visit to Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Impressive seeing work by planqc - the 1st quantum computer start-up from Munich Quantum Valley planqc is developing scalable quantum computer operating at room temperature & based on neutral atoms trapped in optical lattices. Perimeter Institute posters on the walls!

When I was visiting the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics there was an interesting exhibition which included Theodore Maiman’s original first laser and his lab book. #laser #maiman

The Vice Chair of the Board of Perimeter Institute, Jane Kinney has a NP Comment in todays National Post Post where she discusses the importance of policymakers and the public in supporting Canada's global leadership in science. nationalpost.com/opinion/taking… #quantum #sciencepolicy ISED

We sat down with Tania Framst - Associate Director of Academic and Research Programs - for insight into her team's work coordinating experiences and programs for our research community. Thank you to Tania for the work you do here, and the impact you have on science in Canada!

I am thrilled to be at the launch of #R3AI at Université de Montréal ‘R3’ - 3 priority characteristics in AI : “robust” (sound models and applications), “reasoned” (explainable, causal and modular), & “responsible” (ethical and inclusive) IVADO #ai #AIethics ivado.ca/en/2023/04/28/…

Blackboards are important to physicists - that’s very visible at Perimeter Institute In Oxford there is one from Einstein’s 2nd lecture in 1931 where he describes his Theory of General Relativity. Originally there were two blackboards … but by mistake someone rubbed one off #physics

It’s getting to the time where the Ruby-throated Hummingbird arrives in Canada. You can report sightings. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are the most populous NA hummingbird, population has decreased by over 17%. Birds Canada - Ontario Region #birdwatching #birding hummingbirdscanada.ca

Very enjoyable evening at Royal Ontario Museum celebrating University of Waterloo Chancellor Dominic Barton. Thank you Peter Barr & AltaML for the kind invitation. Had the pleasure of meeting Devin Singh , founder Hero AI The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Martin Basiri (ApplyBoard) #healthcare

Morning coffee I was served today! Nice start to the morning!
