Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Quantum Variational Autoencoders for Particle Detector Simulation at the Large Hadron Collider
1003270
The project team will utilize a quantum annealing processors for replacing the computationally expensive first-principles simulation with synthetic data generated by a quantum-assisted Machine Learning model – the Quantum Variational Autoencoder (QVAE). Simulated data enables the analysis of the real data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC, and the experiments that capture and analyze proton-proton collisions produced by the LHC, ATLAS and CMS, are a global scientific effort that resulted in the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the awarding of the 2013 Nobel prize in Physics. This quest continues now to study the Higgs Boson and search for new discoveries, but the cost of generating simulated data threatens the physics reach of upcoming upgrades to the LHC. The QVAEs combine deep encoder and decoder neural networks with a Quantum Boltzmann Machine implementing the latent space – a hidden representation of the data. This latent space can be efficiently sampled utilizing Quantum Annealing devices, creating plentiful and fast simulations of particles and their interactions with the detector.
