It's a small world...Welcome to IQC! (IQC veteran speaking here)

Great to hear that there is space in this industry for new companies beyond BBN, IBM and Northrop Grunman!

Have you already applied for funding with Quantum Valley Investments (http://quantumvalleyinvestments.com)? If not you should do so! The funding is not restricted to Canadian or Waterloo Ontario based research, as far as I know.

Are you gonna run HFSS/Comsol/ADS/Qutip... on Amazon EC2, scalable at will, or are you going to invest in your own parallel computing hardware? I can imagine a big chunk of this initial funding is going to go into buying a couple HPC pack licenses...

Best of luck!
