There's no official connection between Canada and what's going on in Abu Dhabi. It is a New York University Abu Dhabi campus thing. I'm the lead mentor and pushing it forward, so by my association Canada has a strong presence in this activity.
This is really breaking new ground. As you said, there are grocery apps and all these kinds of things, and we really want to find ways to make quantum computing matter now, and engage the software community. A lot of this is really physicist and computer-scientist driven, but we really want to engage the software community better.
I look at this activity in Abu Dhabi as an experiment on my part. I'm going there and I'll learn a lot. I'm hoping with what I experience there and what successes I see there, I can bring back to Canada and we can start developing a lot more focus on the software side and using quantum inspiration to solve today's problems.
