[...] www.cca-reports.ca @cca_reports vi | Council of Canadian Academies Expert Panel on the Responsible Adoption of Quantum Technologies Under the guidance of its Scientific Advisory Committee and Board of Directors, the CCA assembled the Expert Panel on the Responsible Adoption of Quantum Technologies to undertake this assessment. [...] Recognizing the rapid growth of the domestic and international quantum ecosystem, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), and three other supporting federal departments1 (hereafter, “the sponsor”) asked the CCA to convene an expert panel tasked with identifying and assessing the opportunities and challenges attached to the adoption. [...] A responsible approach to the adoption of quantum technologies within the framework of Quantum ELSPI consists of state-sanctioned and self-regulating measures that anticipate, prevent, and mitigate harms and risks. [...] What does the current evidence and knowledge suggest regarding promising and leading practices that could be applied to drive and accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies in Canada? Canada’s innovation policy has historically prioritized the supply side of the innovation process, minimizing the importance of demand-side strategies for technology diffusion and adoption by industry.
