Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to continue with the line of questioning started by my colleague, Mr. Gaheer. I think these are key areas where government and policy can actually be helpful.
My first question is for Dr. Yazdi.
You have both research and business knowledge in the quantum field. On your website, you made an interesting statement that you recognized that “the newly emerging field of quantum computing lacked tools to engineer large scale systems”. Because of that lack of tools, you had to be very innovative and draw from your expertise in high-performance computing to develop those tools.
In terms of economic development and supply chain for hardware, what challenges do you see? What can government policy do to help?
