Are you looking for engaging ways to communicate technical information to a non-technical audience? Do you ever wonder if you are doing it right, or if the audience understands? You may know the material well, but communicating it to people who do not have a PhD can be tricky. Well, you are in luck, because on Thursday, November 7 13:00-16:00 EDT Qubo and Mitacs are delivering a workshop for you! This workshop will feature guest speaker Martin Laforest, Managing Partner at Quantacet. Join us, as Martin explains the realities, opportunities and challenges of building startups around quantum technology and learn how to ensure a successful entrepreneurial endeavor.

Topics include: Structure, Pedagogy, Engagement Tools, xfactors in Communication, Opportunities & Challenges in Entrepreneurship

Suitable for both technical and non-technical participants; no prior quantum knowledge is required. Limited registration, secure your spot today! The participants will receive a Certificate of Completion after each workshop. Delivery in English only.

Engineers are interested in understanding real world case studies that are directly related to, or can transfer over to, their industry’s pain points. This technical 3-hr online workshop will explore applications of a form of Quantum Computing called Adiabatic Quantum Computing that can be used to solve complex Optimization problems. Qubo Consulting will present use cases relevant to several industries, such as transportation and logistics optimization, balancing financial portfolios, fraud detection, optimizing insurance premiums, and improving energy management. 

Featuring Guest Speaker Michael Lachner, Co-Founder & CEO at Aqarios, who will share on Aqarios' platform called Luna. The Luna platform accelerates quantum application development by removing the steep learning curve. It lowers the entry barrier to quantum optimization by offering ready-to-use algorithms and use cases, allowing users to take their first steps even without in-depth expertise. 

All participants will receive free access to Aqarios’ platform afterwards! This workshop will include the quantum physics behind the technology, and is suitable for a STEM background without any prior quantum knowledge.

• Quantum Computing Introduction

• Adiabatic Quantum Computing Case Studies

• Explore Aqarios' platform called Luna

Quantum Sensors are a form of quantum technology that have been commercially available for over a decade. There are a variety of sensor types but they all have a common property: they have far greater sensitivity compared to a classical sensor due to quantum properties (i.e. by leveraging the properties of atoms and/or light). This technical 3-hr workshop will present the key distinctions between quantum and classical sensors, as well as use cases for the energy sector, mineral exploration, navigation and hidden object detection. This module will include the quantum physics behind the technology, and is suitable for a STEM background without any prior quantum knowledge.

• Quantum Sensing Introduction

• Quantum Sensing Case Studies

Canadian Quantum Startup spotlight Guest speaker David Roy-Guay, CEO at SB Quantum.

A real-life quantum demonstration of the famous Young’s Double Slit experiment. Learners will have the chance to view a live optics experiment being performed in real time. They will be able to ask questions, get a close-up look, and participate in the experiment. This 3hr workshop is suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences. Qubo has designed this demonstration to show several quantum effects:

• Interference

• Superposition

• Wave-Particle duality

• The Observer Effect

Learners will also be taught important points about setting up and running an optics experiment. Future lab interns will not want to miss this!
