Building on the long tradition of scientific cooperation in quantum sciences between the French and Canadian research communities, prompted by the encouraging results of the bilateral institutional cooperation between the French National Centre for Research (CNRS) and Sherbrooke University, and connected to (and influenced by) the France - Canada Joint Committee on Science and Technology currently planned for the beginning of 2023, the CNRS and multiple French and Canadian universities (8 plus 8 to date) have united to form the Canada-France Quantum Alliance (CAFQA). The objective of this international research network (IRN) is to bring together French and Canadian researchers in different fields of quantum science and technology to create a visible, competitive and 'like-minded' trans-Atlantic research community which will result in multiple shared benefits for France and Canada, including increased ability to: attract funding from multiple sources; connect with applied and industrial sectors; increase the number and breadth of training and experience of graduate students; research efficiently through pooling of existing means and technological platforms. Though the IRN has been formed, they have not yet met face to face. It is crucial to have people meet in person to identify synergies and potential collaborations in order to enable the envisioned joint projects and grow the standing and reputation of both countries in the quantum field. At the inaugural meeting of CAFQA in Paris we aim to catalyze these collaborations by hosting up to 100 students, postdocs and researchers, 50 from each country, which will also provide an excellent international experience for our Canadian students.

基于法国和加拿大研究社区之间量子科学的悠久传统，这是由法国国家国家研究中心（CNRS）和Sherbrooke University之间双边机构合作的令人鼓舞的结果，并与（并受到法国技术在20223年的范围内，以及CNARED OFFRAND）的（并受到2023年的CNARD CONTRAD，CNRIAND）的影响（并受到2023年的CNARD CONTRAD INFORMIAN的影响（CN）。日期）已团结起来组成加拿大量子联盟（CAFQA）。 该国际研究网络（IRN）的目的是将量子科学技术不同领域的法国和加拿大研究人员汇集在一起​​，以创建一个可见，竞争和“志趣相投的”跨大西洋研究社区，这将为法国和加拿大带来多种共同利益，包括：吸引多个来源的资金；与应用和工业领域建立联系；增加研究生的培训和经验的数量和广度；通过汇总现有手段和技术平台有效研究。尽管已经形成了IRN，但他们尚未面对面遇到。让人们亲自见面以确定协同作用和潜在的合作是至关重要的，以使设想的联合项目能够提高量子领域的共同项目并提高两国的地位和声誉。在巴黎CAFQA的首届会议上，我们旨在通过接待多达100名学生，博士后和研究人员，来自每个国家的50名学生，这也将为我们的加拿大学生提供出色的国际经验。
