Meet with experts who have taken their academic experience and found opportunities to bring quantum to market. As part of this panel, they will discuss their personal pathway into commercialization including challenges and lessons learned.
Panelists


Pooya Ronagh is a Research Assistant Professor at IQC and in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Waterloo. He is also the Scientific Lead at the Perimeter Institute Quantum Intelligence Lab (PIQuIL), and Director of the Hardware Innovation Lab at 1QBit. With an interest in algorithmic aspects of quantum computation, his research focuses on the design and analysis of quantum algorithms for learning, quantum and classical optimal control, and architectures for fault-tolerant quantum computation.
Moderator
Raymond Laflamme is the founding Executive Director of IQC that he led from 2002 to 2017. He is presently the Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis "John von Neumann" Chair at IQC and a member of the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Waterloo. In 2011 he founded Universal Quantum Devices, a startup commercializing spinoffs of quantum information research, with colleagues Thomas Jennewein and Steve MacDonald. He also recently started another company, QuantumLaf Inc., that advises about quantum technologies.
