In my opinion, among the various choices Canada can make, the stimulation of quantum ecosystems in the country should be the priority.

There are different ways of giving funds to organizations, but it must be done in a holistic way. You have to make sure you cover all the links, from basic science to commercialization. You need a group of people to make sure that all the links are connected and that none are broken.

I think this is a natural choice, as ecosystems are already emerging in many parts of Canada. All Canadian companies that turn to quantum information can benefit from these ecosystems.
