Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) is thrilled to announce our recent collaboration with the University of Waterloo and the Government of Canada as part of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program. One of only six projects selected for this challenge, this funding signifies a major leap forward in Canadian quantum technology research, focusing on defence and security applications.

A team of NUS researchers led by Associate Professor Lu Jiong from the Department of Chemistry and Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials, together with their international collaborators, have developed a novel concept of a chemist-intuited atomic robotic probe (CARP).

SBQuantum, the first company developing diamond quantum magnetometers to accelerate critical mineral discovery, today announces a new partnership with Silicon Microgravity, a disruptive technology company developing innovative inertial and gravity sensors. The project will see the development of a drone-based system of sensors combining magnetics and gravimetry to accelerate the location and analysis of underground mineral deposits for the mining industry. This joint approach will significantly reduce the time and capital required for locating and analysing deposits in the field, while also improving 3D geological readouts.

With its unprecedented precision, quantum sensing holds the potential to reform biomedical and health sciences by improving the diagnosis and prevention of diseases. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded a grant of DKK 150 million to establish the Copenhagen Center for Biomedical Quantum Sensing, under which an international research collaboration aims to develop novel quantum sensing principles and techniques for early detection of diseases.

SB Quantum of Sherbrooke, Que., was chosen to be part of John Deere’s annual Startup Collaborator program for 2024. It has developed technology based on a novel quantum magnetometer that can more accurately measure fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field.

Cerca Magnetics in the UK has won a contract to create a pathway to clinical trials for the Quantum-Enabled Brain Imaging system.

University of Nottingham spin-out company Cerca Magnetics has been awarded £2m as part of £45 million government investment in the UK's quantum sector for wearable brain imaging research to help detect early signs of dementia.

Qnami announces the commercial partnership with Quantum Design Japan and Quantum Design Korea to bring its quantum platform for sensing applications to East Asia.

Highly precise sensors that could enable aircraft to navigate without satellite-based GPS. Tiny atomic clocks that could ensure perfect timing in the face of GPS jamming. Wideband, low-power antennas that could guarantee secure communications.

The team from the University of Birmingham tested the laser cooling method developed by Aquark Technologies which does not require an applied magnetic field and so could make quantum sensing systems more portable and robust and therefore easier to use commercially.
