"The fact we need to be discussing this in 2026 is concerning."
Mark McGuire, Founder of QuicklyQuantum
Following the April 30, 2026, testimony of Lisa Lambert, CEO of Quantum Industry Canada (QIC), before Canada’s House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology (INDU) regarding a study on “Opportunities, Risks, and Regulation of AI in Canada’s Strategic Industries,” Mark McGuire, Founder of QuicklyQuantum, commented:
In late April, the CEO of Quantum Industry Canada testified before her country’s policymakers that, among other things, quantum and AI are not the same.
The fact we need to be discussing this in 2026 is concerning. Generative AI is the penultimate triumph of big data. Quantum is physics. It always has been. The biggest point of similarity is the influencers claiming ‘This changes everything.’

this statement does not say taht quantum mechnics/computing and AI is same . this metaphor is just coined. yes quantum computing may increase learning rate as well as data crunching faster but in noway it is AI having large LLM. Its pure spooky physics which we manipulate for computing.
