Hosted at CU@Kanata, Innovation Morning<\/a> is a signature event series that unites research, policy, and industry to explore meaningful solutions to emerging challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As demand for faster, more efficient and increasingly sophisticated technologies continues to grow, researchers are looking beyond conventional electronics to new ways of generating, processing and transmitting information. From silicon photonics and integrated optoelectronics to quantum communications, advances that harness the properties of light are opening new possibilities for communications, sensing, computing and other emerging applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us for our next Innovation Morning: Beyond the Chip<\/strong>, featuring Carleton experts exploring the rapidly evolving fields of photonics and quantum communications. Together, they\u2019ll share insights into how advances in photonic devices, materials and integrated systems are enabling more scalable and energy-efficient technologies, while quantum research is laying the groundwork for secure communications and the networks of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session<\/strong> and dedicated networking time<\/strong>, providing space for collaboration and discussion among innovators, academics, and community stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light refreshments will be provided. This event is open to all!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
