La version française suit. Dear QIC Community, Today marks World Quantum Day, a day to acknowledge and celebrate quantum science and technology around the world and the trailblazers advancing it. It’s a day to celebrate … well, YOU! As we reflect on the significant technological advancements made through quantum mechanics over the past decades, and more importantly, on those that lie just on the horizon, we are immensely grateful to be on this journey together. Canada emerged as a pioneer in transforming quantum mechanics into practical quantum solutions and continues to lead on the global stage — thanks to your relentless efforts and the dedication of your talented teams. It is your commitment that propels this industry forward, driving innovations for the greater societal good. Thank you for choosing to be an integral part of the vibrant QIC community and for your contributions that keep our community dynamic and forward-thinking. We are proud and honoured to champion Canada’s quantum sector and work alongside each of you. QIC, as you may know, is a founding member of the International Council of Quantum Industry Associations (ICQIA), alongside QED-C, Q-STAR and QuIC. Together we compiled a short video featuring quantum innovators from Canada — watch for familiar faces!) — and around the world. Enjoy — and happy World Quantum Day! Lisa & Angela Chère communauté de QIC, Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons la Journée mondiale du quantique, une journée dédiée à la reconnaissance et à la célébration de la science et de la technologie quantiques à travers le monde, ainsi qu'aux pionniers qui les font avancer.
