“Canada’s competitiveness in quantum computing depends on the strength of our talent as much as our technology. By building a work-ready talent pipeline, we can turn breakthrough ideas into real-world solutions that drive economic growth — positioning Canada to continue as a leader in harnessing quantum’s power.” – Dr. Stephen Lucas, CEO, Mitacs.
At Qubo, our goal is to equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to propel the quantum ecosystem forward. We are thrilled to offer bilingual quantum workshops this round with Mitacs!”
— Katanya Kuntz, founder and CEO of Qubo Consulting
This partnership is advancing and modernizing the workforce, equipping a talent pipeline with the knowledge and skills to navigate the rapidly evolving world of quantum technologies.
“The quantum ecosystem in Canada is evolving, and there is a growing demand for quantum talent. At Qubo, our goal is to equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to propel the quantum ecosystem forward. We provide quality quantum training that is both engaging and entertaining; before you realize it, you have learned some quantum physics. We are thrilled to offer bilingual quantum workshops in collaboration with the Quantum AlgoLab at the Institut quantique, Université de Sherbrooke.” – Katanya Kuntz, founder and CEO of Qubo Consulting.
Available with bilingual support in English and French from a francophone quantum expert with the Quantum AlgoLab at the Institut quantique, Université de Sherbrooke, this will be the third series of quantum workshops offered by Mitacs and Qubo Consulting.
Designed for technical and non-technical audiences, participants will learn about quantum technologies and their applications through live lectures, interactive case studies, and guest speakers from quantum companies including Aqarios, Open Quantum Design, Quantum Rings, Zero Point Cryogenics, Qubic Technologies, Photonics Foundry and Quantized Technologies Inc.
“At the Quantum AlgoLab, Université de Sherbrooke, we are dedicated to developing comprehensive quantum training. Because Qubo Consulting shares that commitment, this partnership was a natural fit — and we’re proud to provide the French-language component to ensure truly bilingual access across Canada’s quantum ecosystem.” Ghislain Lefebvre, Quantum AlgoLab Manager and Chief Partnership Officer, Université de Sherbrooke.
All workshops are open for free registration to college students, undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and recent graduates (within the last 2 years) from Canadian institutions, as well as Mitacs program participants and alumni. Workshops will be delivered live online in English with bilingual support on the EDGE by Mitacs Training portal.
