I believe IQC represents a sweet spot in between
academia and industry.
There is so many talented people, with such
diverse expertise all in one place.
At IQC itself, at the University of Waterloo,
and nearby at the Perimeter Institute.
There's no other institute that is this large
and working on this many different technologies.
In terms of quantum information and computing.
IQC is one of the largest quantum communities
in the world.
And as an experimentalist, it is a great pleasure
to have the experimentalists, especially the
young experimentalists, together, so that
we can learn from each other, and grow together.
A lot of the collaborators are the professors
here, are industrial partners, and so you gain
a lot of contacts in the industry world, as
well as the academic world, so you can really
choose a broad horizon of careers after your
time at IQC.
It's not easy to find an institution where
this engineering as well as physics aspects
can be brought together, and here I found
it.
