Quantum computers encode information with qubits. Unfortunately, qubits are subject to error. Those are physical qubits, and one will need many physical qubits to create an error-free qubit, also called a logical qubit. In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to understand if the error rate of a logical quantum circuit […]

La crise de la COVID a mis en lumière, plus que jamais, l’importance de l’accès à une alimentation saine, locale et durable pour tous et toutes. Elle a aussi mis en lumière les actions d’une diversité de réseaux et d’approches ayant chacun ses forces et ses aspirations. Malheureusement, les synergies entre l’ensemble de ces initiatives […]

The proposed project intends to make an evaluation of the Canadian public sector’s use of technology in budget tracking operations. The purpose is to make a recommendation on a technological “future state” to address the discovered shortcomings and to mitigate future operational failures, as well as evaluating the impact of adopting such innovative technology. The […]

L’émergence récente des produits cosméceutiques représentent le segment dont la croissance est la plus rapide au cours des dernières années dans le marché des cosmétiques et des produits de soin personnel. Ces produits ont des applications variées dont l’efficacité repose sur le choix des ingrédients actifs. Les petits fruits du Québec, tel que la camerise […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that […]

The Niagara Escarpment is a dominant natural feature in southern Ontario and provides the region with exceptional sites of natural beauty including numerous waterfalls and exposed rocky cliffs. There is little data on geomorphic characteristics of rivers along the escarpment and their sensitivity to erosion under future land development and climate change. The proposed project […]

Mobile brain fitness applications such as Vivity Lab’s Fit Brains aims to improve cognitive performance through frequent brain exercise games. This concept is based on previous research that frequent video gaming can produce transferrable cognitive improvement in another related cognitive task in the same domain (i.e. reaction speed while driving). Although the efficacy of mobile […]

The manufacture of “smart devices” requires a large number of connected, low-cost embedded digital systems that are typically electronically connected on circuit boards. Our project develops a system to integrate functional materials directly into these boards which can provide or extend the capabilities of devices with functionalities such as memory, batteries or sensors. We develop […]

The aim of the project is to develop innovative workflows to recover genetic material (DNA & RNA) from human microbiome samples collected in DNA Genotek’s devices. The project will also test novel genome-editing tools (i.e. CRISPR) and their ability to selectively remove human DNA in samples containing high quantities of host background. The project will […]
