About us
Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Canadian Graduate Quantum Conference! We are a research oriented conference for students, funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (Apogée Canada), who we graciously thank for their support! This event is jointly host by the three CFREF funded institutes across Canada: Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (University of British Columbia), Institut quantique (Université de Sherbrooke), and Transformative Quantum Technologies (University of Waterloo). Participation is free for students from these institutes, but is open to all students in Canada.
This event will take place from June 3rd to 6th 2019 at the charming Jouvence resort.
