Globe and Mail: How Canada became a world leader in quantum tech
Investor interest in Canada’s quantum sector is surging, with venture capitalist Allen Lau saying the field is “much more investible now” after years of caution. Experts warn Canada could lose its edge as rivals outspend it, with Photonic Inc.’s Stephanie Simmons urging, “Industry leadership is ours to lose but also ours to win.” Meanwhile, AI Minister Evan Solomon said a new quantum strategy is expected this fall to keep Canada competitive, as cybersecurity officials warned the country must “act to quantum-proof critical infrastructure.”
