  Philippe St-Jean; CEO and Co-Founder, Nord Quantique; will speak on “Quantum Error Correction – The Path to Fault-Tolerance Through Built-In Redundancy and Bosonic Codes”.
  Co-Founder of Nord Quantique, Phil obtained his PhD in Physics from Université de Montréal and spent 12 years working in the financial sector. During that period, he invested in D-Wave Systems, arguably the first quantum hardware company. He was a member of its board of directors from 2015 to 2019. Today, his role is to ensure that our company stays aligned with its long-term goals, and has the means to achieve them. Away from the office, he enjoys cross-country skiing, cycling and cooking with a wood-fired oven.
  IQT Vancouver · Pacific Rim 2024: Quantum Computing, Communications and Security — Pathways to Real World Solutions.
  With Vancouver as North America’s gateway to the Pacific Rim, IQT and the Quantum Algorithms Institute are bringing together partners across North America and Asia to showcase the state of quantum computing, communications, and security. This international conference moves beyond the quantum hype to profile quantum computing, communications technologies, and quantum expertise in real-world settings. Sessions will highlight practical applications of quantum algorithms and networking in pharmaceuticals, transportation, finance, and more industries. Attendees will include industry and government executives, end-users, and investors who will learn about the latest developments in these technologies, pathways for companies to get ready for quantum solutions, and ethics and policy considerations in this fast-growing industry.
