I'll give maybe a different perspective. In the information I handed out there was a deck and there was a quadrant diagram with a bunch of circles on it. I'm not going to go through that, but I will just say that the horizontal axis in this, which really is trying to describe how I view the innovation landscape in Canada and around the world, has two extremes. One is the discovery end, where we would often find university research, and the other is the problem end. I think what we really need is to be able to get our heads around what the key problems are that we need to solve as Canadians, and which are the ones that have potentially technological solutions and for which we actually have no known solution yet.
We have an academic community that needs to stay focused in my view on the discovery side and we can't expect that every science or engineering problem that we tackle has to have a direct line to a problem to be solved, but we need that hopper of creative ideas so that we can actually start to connect the dots.
I am going to ask Dr. Stewart to talk a little about how we see the whole world of quantum information, for example, from the academic side compared to how we're looking at it from the problem side and what we're doing to try to bring those two things together.
