Yes. The national quantum strategy just invested a third of the strategy into training, essentially. Why don't we have these quantum computers procured for that training purpose? Why are we not buying.... We are building fledgling airplanes, right? Yes, they don't cross the ocean yet, but we know where they're going. If we can support local industry, we can build more and more of these things and actually pay the salaries to keep the professionals here.
I completely agree with Andrew: These things do not move the commercial needle from a computational perspective yet, but we all know where these are going. We tend to overestimate the short term, but underestimate the long-term, applications of these things. This is commercializing a branch of physics. It's going to transform everything. If we give people hands-on training in these training organizations, then we don't need to rely so much upon industry for this detailed training.
I would add one more thing. There are quantum technologies that are useful today. QKD is one of them. It's only a short-distance...but it's provably secure. It's something that you can purchase. I think that one of the things the government could procure is a demonstration. You could procure the demonstration of a repeater. This is what DARPA does, right? They procure milestones on technological road maps. It's not a grant. It's actually a case of, “Can you procure this deliverable?” It makes a big difference to the ability to raise the capital necessary to actually keep the talent here, in Canadian organizations. They want to keep it.
