Earlier this week, The Quantum Insider joined quantum leaders from across the ecosystem at the Faculty Club in Toronto. Canada's quantum story didn't start with the current wave of hype. Researchers, institutions, and government here have been building this field for decades, well before most of the companies we cover existed. The room brought together the people actually shaping where Canadian quantum goes next: researchers and builders, policymakers, program leads, and the people who control the budgets. Thanks to the Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (@​CQIQC Toronto ) at the @​UofT for partnering with us on this, and to Anna Dyring and Dvira Segal for making it happen.
