Dude, can I get a Canadian aerospace company to win a United States federal contract and as a consequence have to fund my quantum computing research?
Dalhousie research is taking a quantum leap into next-generation computing.
The university has received $2 million from Lockheed Martin that will benefit the university’s basic scientific research in an area of quantum computing, physics and material sciences.
The money, to be spread over four years, is part of the company’s commitment to spend $242 million in Atlantic Canada as part of its industrial benefits obligation arising from the federal government’s contract with Lockheed Martin to buy 17 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft.
I, for one, welcome our new Lockheed Martin Skunkworks Quantum Computing Stealth Fighter Jet masters.
Oh, hey, that’s convenient. Thanks to the CAT, that’s only about eight hours away from me (of course, Boston is closer, but I’d rather go to Halifax…)
Speaking of quantum loonies, anyone know what happened to the blogs nextquant and room408? When I try to go to them I’m redirected to my WordPress Dashboard. I wonder if they’ve stopped blogging.
Many physics conferences in Poland are co-sponsored by… US Air Force. Because Poland bought F-16s.
very interesting
