In this workshop, we’ll focus on researching your ideas. After this session, you’ll be able to: articulate research questions about your problem space, identify key library resources and freely available sources that will help with your market and industry research and articulate remaining gaps in your research.

In this must-see workshop, the legendary Professor Larry Smith will discuss what makes an important problem, why pursuing important problems is advantageous for start-up founders and business owners, and how students can uncover important problems.

Communication networks are an essential part of our world today, used in transactions from banking to education, global business exchanges to defence. What happens when our private information is no longer private? Powerful quantum computers will have the ability to crack the encryption of public keys that we currently use to secure our data, putting our privacy at risk.

In this panel discussion, we’ll hear from three researchers who are at the forefront of discovery and application of quantum communication research:

• Katanya Kuntz, Research Associate, IQC and QEYSSat Science Team Coordinator
• Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh, Research Fellow, IQC and Cryptographer, Synopsys Inc.
• Dave Touchette, Professor, Institut Quantique, Université de Sherbrook
