Activités de collaboration internationale

• Principal investigator. (2013). I was the principal applicant of a $270,000 grant application from Programme de soutien à la recherche (PSR), volet Soutien à des initiatives internationales de recherche et d'innovation (SIIRI), of Ministère Développement Économique, Innovation et Exportation (MDEIE) of Québec to perform collaborative research on hybrid quantum circuits. The project involved three researchers of Tokyo University including pioneer of superconducting qubits Yasunobu Nakamura and two researchers at the Institute of Quantum Computing in Waterloo, Ontario. The project was recommended for funding by the evaluation committee in February 2013 but was not funded because of budgetary cut by the Québec government.
