Quantum Works AGM

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I just got back from attending the Quantum Works Annual General Meeting in Toronto.  Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) was a very hot topic and the focus of several presentations.  QKD will likely be the first quantum computing technology to be applied in the real world.

There were presentations from Networks of Centers of Excellence and the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, in which collaboration between research institutes and industry players was discussed.

WaterlooCamp6

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Dave and I presented at StartupCamp 6, going over the scenario where a system administrator goes rogue and alters files undetectably — and how our system detects them.

The questions & comments were good.  Thanks to everyone who came out.

Also presenting were (in no particular order):

  • Pager Duty from Toronto, who specialize in managing notifications. We were so impressed that we’re looking into integrating their product with ours.
  • NeverBored Studios with a cool iPhone game.
  • Kaimera Media with a video kiosk (burn a CD with video from an event while you wait).
  • ThinkPanda and Primal Fusion both tackled the problem of information management with Primal Fusion being the larger and more polished.
  • Giftah an online marketplace for buying and selling gift cards.
