I don't think there are researchers within the Institute for Quantum Computing who are hesitant to work with other jurisdictions, particularly because the University of Waterloo has a unique IP policy. Our intellectual property policy is inventor-owned. The researchers actually own what they create.
Whether they're researchers, students, or other people they work with, they own that IP themselves. They're free to go and work with other partners and jointly develop those technologies should they see fit.
I think that's a unique opportunity for Waterloo in particular to have more collaboration, because they have that ownership. The university doesn't take a stake there, so they can go out and find industry partners. They can find other research collaborators to take that technology further.
