Event Details
FABrIC is introducing Canada’s first Quantum Computing Sandbox (QCS). QCS aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing technology in Canada by providing technical expertise and enabling access to state-of-the-art quantum computing platforms for academics, startups, and small & medium enterprises (SMEs). FABrIC’s Quantum Computing Sandbox are calls to stimulate the development of industrially relevant applications of quantum computing in Canada, strengthen Canadian quantum computing R&D in areas of strategic importance, and drive the adoption of quantum computing solutions by end-sector users. The QCS will financially support direct access to quantum computing cloud services offered by global quantum computing providers and provide technical expertise from CMC Microsystems’ dedicated team of quantum application scientists.
CMC Challenge engineering support: minimum 8 hours/week. All IP generated by participants during the Sandbox will remain the property of the participants. CMC Microsystems does not claim any rights to this IP.
Quantum computer access: determined per project by applicant and CMC. CMC will work with you to shape your project application.

This presentation will cover the latest design of SwiftMote-Electrochemical, a wireless potentiostat.
We plan on covering its position in the FABrIC program, what SwiftMote-Electrochemical v2 is, how you can make use of it, and most importantly, we are interested in obtaining your feedback – does the system have the features you need? Would you like it manufactured? What direction would you like to take the program in? Are there other systems you are interested in FABrIC developing to support your research?

As photonic integrated circuits (PICs) continue to revolutionize high-speed communications, the demand for reliable, high-frequency packaging and test solutions is increasing. In this webinar, we explore the intersection of RF design and photonic packaging, focusing on signal integrity considerations for testing PIC chips including high-speed modulators and photodetectors. We will discuss different packaging technologies and how to evaluate their impact on high-speed signals’ performance using circuit models and simulation tools. Finally, we will introduce standard PIC packaging solutions for RF evaluations.
