Thank you so much for the question. Governments are focusing on the research side of how to get the hardware systems bigger and better, because they want to be the first ones, as Steph has mentioned, to have a quantum computer inside their geography.
Where governments are not going is procuring and utilizing the technologies that are available today and helping to advance them. In Australia, you're looking at it for transportation. The army is looking at it for autonomous vehicle resupply. In Japan, they've looked at it for piloting and for tsunami evacuation route optimization, as well as how to reduce CO2 emissions during waste collection.
Canada does not have any focus on anything in the near term. If you were to ask if there are different quantum funds and foci out there, and what could be utilized to see benefits within the next one to five years, it might end up being a big zero. Governments can lean in and look at what they are doing for the near term, mid term and long term. That's the one to five years, five to eight years, eight to 10 years, and 10 years and beyond. That's where you're looking at the hybrid technologies that are out there, such as HPC and data centres. That's going to be critically important to navigate through.
There's also no supply chain domestically within Canada. We use superconducting chip fabrication. There is no domestic, commercial-sized superconducting chip fabrication plant in Canada. We have to use one in the United States.
