BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company"), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce a new research collaboration with Macquarie University, marking a significant step forward in the company's efforts to expand research and development in quantum algorithms and quantum computing. This partnership leverages the combined strengths and expertise of both parties in the areas of quantum information theory and post-quantum secure communications, with the aim of integrating quantum processing into a range of communication protocols to enhance speed, security, and energy efficiency.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced it has achieved “Awardable” status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) offers a practical and high-performing solution for low-temperature research with their newest product line: the Continuous Cold Cryostats. These systems are workhorses designed for continuous operation around 1 K, and optimized to meet the needs of labs requiring both cool-down, high cooling power, and rapid sample exchange, while maintaining the quality and reliability of all ZPC systems. The Continuous Cold systems are an ideal choice for researchers who don't require a dilution refrigerator's millikelvin temperature range but still desire an upgradable path and ease of use for sensitive experiments in fields like quantum technology and materials science.

TELUS is excited to announce a collaboration with Photonic Inc., a pioneering BC-based company, to accelerate the development of next-generation quantum communications in Canada. TELUS will provide Photonic dedicated access to its advanced fibre-optic network, enabling the testing of groundbreaking quantum technologies and emerging solutions that promise to reshape Canada’s digital landscape, improve productivity and drive economic growth.

Nord Quantique, a scaleup company and leader in the field of quantum error correction, today announces two new partnerships to secure its supply chain long-term, as relates to chip fabrication for its quantum computers. Both partners are located within the emerging “Northeast Semiconductor Manufacturing Corridor,” a region dedicated to the production of microelectronics and quantum microchips. This territory runs from Manhattan to Montreal, spanning the border between New York State and the Canadian province of Quebec. Dozens of companies in this area will play a key role in reshoring semiconductor manufacturing here in North America over the coming years.

The Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) has been awarded an up to $1 million grant by the National Cybersecurity Consortium for its training resources in the commercial quantum computing space.

BTQ Technologies Corp., a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Hunter Scharfe as Senior Advisor, effective October 1, 2024.

On October 11, 2024, the International Council of Quantum Industry Associations (ICQIA), submitted a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, advocating for the prioritization of quantum technologies during Canada’s G7 Presidency in 2025. This critical moment provides Canada with a unique opportunity to lead the global conversation on quantum innovation, continuing its legacy of driving major international initiatives through the G7.

Quantum technologies are at the leading edge of research and innovation in fields such as advanced manufacturing, transportation, finance, energy and healthcare. Alberta has strengths in quantum computing, materials, sensors and communications technology. The Government of Canada is making investments to further enable Alberta’s innovators to adopt and develop quantum solutions that have the potential to make a transformative impact on the lives of Canadians.

Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) and Xanadu, a leader in quantum computing, have launched a new project to harness the power of quantum computing in advancing materials science simulations. This collaboration focuses on developing quantum algorithms to improve the design, characterization, and optimization of complex materials, including those with desired quantum properties critical for future mobilities. The initiative targets at new avenues towards material discovery and development, with broad applications across quantum sensors, energy technologies, and beyond.
