\n2. Swiss cheese model<\/p>\n
This is a post while I was in a “Strategies for a Quantum Entrepreneur” workshop that was held at IQC RAC 1 2009, June 6, 2012. It was a “bonus classroom experience” to the QIC 870 and QIC 871 classes. I came into the workshop looking for ideas to develop, something feasible as a project and that is likely to succeed. My plan is to get ideas from physics and create a spin-off. Being here reminds me of QKD 2011, this is the exact same lecture room. The workshop takes a very formal approach to entrepreneurship, kind of like business school class and theoretical physics. For example, innovation = invention + commercialization. Facts like government policies, a slide titled “the national system of innovation”. This is not quite what I would like to hear about. I want to find out what are some practical things that I can build, as an undergraduate student. Hypothetical ideas are kind of ironic… in the sense that the workshop takes a theoretical approach to how an ideal startup should start off.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Example slide: About how a startup can fit in the system.<\/p>\n
There are 3 motivation models for research<\/p>\n
1. Pasteur’s Quadrant<\/p>\n
This is a graph with 4 extremities<\/p>\n

\nno new use ———– new uses

“Is ‘basic research’ smarter than ‘research with an end product in mind’? No!” – Brzustowski<\/p>\n
“Using a qubit for a magnometer” – Laflamme

E.g.
\nPhysicst solving the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics in a new configuration might be gap-filling; to an aerodynamicsist, it might be leading-edge research.<\/p>\n
Problems also arise from deadends. People having found dead ends may save others from similar dead ends. E.g. Pharmacy.<\/p>\n
3. Bifurcation model<\/p>\n

\nLearning curve is low risk, low return, crowded, easy funding.<\/p>\n
Challenge is to get funding for risky ideas.<\/p>\n
One of the ways to get your business out and make money is to get firms to buy R&D startups.<\/p>\n
“Push skill to market” vs “Pull to solve problem”<\/p>\n
Research: the process of learning what is not yet known, not by anyone, anywhere
\nBasic research: to find answers to discover nature.
\nApplied research: governing principle understood in general
\nProject research: solve a specific problem
\nEngineering: producing peoples’ needs.
\nDesign: process of meeting constraints, compatibility, cost.
\nTechnology: set of tools that predictably and reproducible
\nIQC should focus on technology asset.
\nCreativity: ability to look and see something different and explain.
\nEntrepreneurship: capacity to find opportunity to create value, they are creative for values<\/p>\n
Quantum computers are the holy grail, which puts IQC in Pasteur’s quadrant. A lot of other useful things are going to arise out of the basic research happening. – B<\/p>\n

On Quantum Entrepeneurship by Rolf Horn.
\nPatentable:
\nMethod: algorithm “QKD” by Joseph Renes
\nDevice: object entangled photo source
\nE.g. “Quantum computer” by Bruce Kane on an implementation of silicon based NMR quantum computer.
\nE.g. “Efficient Quantum Computing Operations” by Richard Cleve and John Watrous by MagicQ<\/p>\n
Why patent? Vehicle for innovation, jobs, resume padding<\/p>\n
Commercialization <=> Thomas Jewewnnnnenekeen
\nPatents are expensive, can one become a patent lawyer?<\/p>\n
WatCO research policy patenting:
\ngood deal for resume patenting
\nbad deal since it takes 25% of your potential earning.
\nRolf took this route.<\/p>\n
Assessing your IP. Is it a behavioral modification? Because it needs to be that to be a successful product.<\/p>\n
What about talking to VC and investors? Do we need NDA?<\/p>\n
E.g. Quantum Dot missile defence idea. US patent 7,916,065 by Raytheon Co.<\/p>\n
E.g. Quantum Digital Signatures: submitted to arXiv May 8, 2001 and patent applied Apr 26, 2002<\/p>\n
Patents are a vehicle for research turned down.<\/p>\n

“Companies don’t have to make money”.. What? Terrible.<\/p>\n
IQC is the client, Ray is the authority.<\/p>\n
How should one write application for a grant?
\nTips and inside tricks.
\nGet Christophe to do a lightning talk about how to setup a EC2 serve.<\/p>\n
The worst case is when we know something but we don’t.<\/p>\n
Concluding remarks: not very clear what the story is about.
\nMOK me NOT<\/p>\n
Hope I can bring in some entrepreneurial spirit to IQC.
