The University of Waterloo — renowned for its innovative research and academic excellence in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and machine learning — has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM), at University Health Network (UHN). The agreement will lay the groundwork for collaborative opportunities and taking a significant step forward in cancer research.

University of Waterloo researchers have successfully demonstrated the ability to measure and reset a trapped ion qubit to a known state without disturbing neighbouring qubits just a few micrometres away — a distance smaller than the width of a human hair, which is about 100 micrometres thick.

BTQ Technologies Inc. ,a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission critical networks, is pleased to announce its sponsorship with the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute at the University of Waterloo. CPI's mission is to gain international recognition as a leading interdisciplinary research institute that makes significant impacts on improving information security and human privacy. To this end CPI is forging a path through interdisciplinary focus areas including quantum computing, data science, cryptography, artificial intelligence (AI), and the policy, legal, and social impacts of security and privacy.

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.

The Linux Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA), an open and collaborative initiative to drive the advancement and adoption of post-quantum cryptography. The PQCA brings together industry leaders, researchers and developers to address cryptographic security challenges posed by quantum computing, through the production of high-assurance software implementations of standardized algorithms, while supporting the continued development and standardization of new post-quantum algorithms.
