"University of Calgary, University of Alberta, University of Lethbridge, University of Saskatchewan, Lockheed Martin Canada, General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canada, CAE, Dell Canada, and Calian."

OK so first off, what military applications are they making with machines that can't yet factor numbers greater than like, 8 or whatever?

Second, sorry but "Lockheed Martin Canada" is still a US company even if you slap the word Canada on it. As is "General Dynamics Canada" and "Dell Canada". What are we even doing.

Why waste money on medical research when you can do this.

And for God's sake, write an article about quantum technology without explaining what it is.
