Sharing a quantum machine

Quantum processing units are expected to accelerate some tasks within a high-performance computing (HPC) environment along with CPUs, GPUs and other specialized accelerators. Currently, quantum computers are used by a single user at a time, and this user has access to all the qubits of the machine. Sharing the machine between applications that only use […]

Exploiting Nonlocal Effects in Quantum Error Correcting Codes

The industry partner, Xanadu, is developing large-scale quantum computers based on a photonic hardware platform. All large-scale quantum computers will rely on error correction codes in order to carry out useful computations. Due to the possibility for long-range qubit connections in a photonic system, via fibre optics, it may be possible to exploit non-local connections […]

Accessible Communications of the Needs of Persons with Disabilities

Building codes are often written in complex legal language, making them difficult to understand. While diagrams can help, they often lack standardization and fail to convey the intent of the requirements. To help architects, engineers, contractors, and inspectors to understand the intent and specifics of requirements, we aim to develop a set of best practices […]

Towards Accelerating the Social Tipping Points in Sustainable Behaviors: A Behavioral Segmentation of the Quebecer Population

The societal ecological transition required to address climate change must occur rapidly, to save as much as we can of the planet’s ecosystem. To do that, long-term moralization processes need to be complemented with short-term behavioral change interventions. A key component of successful behavioral change, whether in the short or long run, is understanding the […]

Built Stories: a Web-based and Mobile Information System for Community Led Heritage Asset Inventory and the Preservation of History, Culture and Built Heritage

The overarching aim of the study, of which the proposed MITACS funded work is part, is to determine if heritage designation impacts properties and to better understand some people’s support and other peoples resistance to designation. One aspect in particular concerns a building’s time-on-the-market (TOM). Although there have been studies on designation, there is a […]

Automatic Musical Classification for Intelligent Audio Tools

MixGenius works on automated musical production by real-time musical genre detection. High accuracy of genre detection for a variety of sub-genres is required for quality production and has yet to be achieved. The project involves researching available real-time high-accuracy musical genre detection methods and improving upon them, extracting each genre’s audio features, calibrating the algorithm […]

Exploration des ressources nécessaires au soutien des femmes en milieu de travail en lien avec les défis posés par le cycle menstruel, début de l’âge adulte à la ménopause

L’impact du cycle menstruel sur la vie professionnelle des femmes est un problème significatif. Les études antérieures démontrent que les symptômes liés au cycle menstruel, notamment le syndrome prémenstruel et la ménopause, impactent négativement la qualité de vie, le bien-être et la carrière professionnelle des femmes (Avis et al., 2009; Fondation canadienne de la ménopause, […]
