Thank you for your answer.

I'd like to ask you one last question.

Many of you have said that governments around the world are well aware of the risks that quantum computing can pose, primarily for national security. In fact, intelligence agencies are well aware of it.

Is the private sector, such as banks and other industrial institutions, also aware of the potential risk?

The question is for you, Dr. Laflamme, but Mr. Janik, Dr. Yazdi and Dr. St‑Jean will also be able to answer afterwards.
