Webinar | Quantum engineering and technology applications

Promises and realities

Genium360, in collaboration with Desjardins and The Personal, is offering AGM attendees a free conference on quantum technologies, providing 1.25 hours of continuing education credits.

Quantum computers, qubits, diamonds, red light, temperatures as low as -273 degrees C°... These are just a few of the notions used in quantum physics, a discipline concerned with the behaviour of matter at the microscopic level.

Today, in Québec, many quantum players are rallying around DistriQ, the quantum innovation zone funded by the Québec government since February 2022 to the tune of $435 million.

Bringing together entrepreneurial, industrial and research activities, this zone aims to accelerate quantum innovations. But do real quantum technology applications already exist? And what role will engineering play?

Genium360’s panel of high-calibre guests representing various quantum players in Québec will explore the promises and realities of quantum tech in 2024. It will focus on the concrete technological applications of quantum technology, and the role of engineering in the present and future of these applications.

Please note: only persons who are logged in at the start of the Annual General Meeting will be able to attend the conference free of charge and receive the 1.25 hr training certificate.

La rediffusion est disponible en exclusivité aux membres de Genium360 jusqu'au jeudi 19 octobre 2023.

Christian Sarra-Bournet, PhDExecutive Director
IQ Quantum Institute, Université de Sherbrooke Christian Sarra-Bournet has been Executive Director of the IQ Quantum Institute of the Université de Sherbrooke since its creation in 2015. IQ is a research community of over 300 members, bringing together experts in quantum materials, quantum information and quantum engineering. Christian is one of the architects of the From Quantum Science to Quantum Technologies initiative. This ambitious project was one of five selected in Canada for the inaugural Canadian Research Excellence Fund competition. Since then, he has made a significant contribution to the development of research and education in quantum science and technology, notably with the establishment of IBM's first Quantum Innovation Centre in Canada and the world's first French-language bachelor's degree in quantum information science at the Université de Sherbrooke. Christian sits on the boards of DistriQ, Sherbrooke's Quantum Innovation Zone, QVStudio, a quantum startup accelerator, and Prompt, one of Québec's nine RSRI industrial research clusters specializing in new information and digital technologies.

Christian holds a PhD in materials engineering from Université Laval, Canada, and a PhD in electrical engineering from Université de Toulouse, France.
