Canada’s leading quantum research institutions are driving a unified national effort to advance quantum innovation and talent development through the Quantum Co-laboratory (Quantum Co-lab), a network that links specialized research infrastructure and unique expertise across the country. The Quantum Co-Lab partnership was announced Thursday during in Victoria, B.C.

��ɫֱ��’s  (IQST) has joined the Quantum Co-lab for a five-year term with the University of British Columbia’s , Université de Sherbrooke’s , and University of Waterloo’s .

"Through this partnership, IQST’s multidisciplinary team of researchers will collaborate with other nationally recognized scientists to drive research advancements, training opportunities and knowledge sharing,” says , PhD, professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, with ��ɫֱ�� .

The Quantum Co-lab initiative provides users from academia, industry, and government with access to world-leading expertise and advanced infrastructure required for quantum innovation, while serving as a national platform to develop the workforce needed to translate quantum capabilities into economic value for Canada. 

The national partnership will connect UCalgary’s transdisciplinary quantum research ecosystem comprised of professional training programs, provincial partnerships to advance foundational science, and unique research  to support quantum technology development.

“��ɫֱ�� quantum ecosystem is dynamic and growing, and we are delighted to join other leading Canadian institutions in this research partnership to strengthen the national quantum agenda,” says , PhD, associate vice-president (research) with the university.

“With leading roles in initiatives from  to , our people look to continue to leverage these partnerships to grow Canada’s leadership in quantum science and technology on the world stage.”
