Quantum Computing for Next Generation Batteries in Defence$1.0Mvalue2025start2027end

Funding will support research and development to address National Defence’s Challenge: North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Modernization Science & Technology (S&T) Contest. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and its defence and security partners seek to advance capabilities in five key areas: quantum technologies; autonomous systems; counter-uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS); Arctic mobility and navigation of military platforms; and energy solutions that are scalable, efficient, and sustainable for current and future Arctic operations. The initiative targets critical scie

Advanced quantum algorithms for lithium-ion batteries$761Kvalue2025start2028end

The Project aims to create innovative quantum algorithms for studying the dynamic behavior of chemistry within lithium-ion batteries. This includes chemical reactions and mechanisms like delithiation, ion transport, and solid-electrolyte interphase formation. The Project will be focused on dynamics as a native application of quantum computers which is a promising candidate for outperforming classical approaches that face challenges in simulating the time evolution of quantum systems. This unexplored direction is a fertile ground for innovation and breakthroughs.

Photonic quantum sensors and novel detectors towards sensing beyond the standard quantum limit$597Kvalue2022start2024end

Peculiarities of quantum physics such as superposition and entanglement offer unprecedented advantages in secure communication, computing, sensing and metrology. The fundamentals of quantum optics was first used to demonstrate how quantum properties of light can provide sensing and metrology capabilities beyond the standard quantum limit. Recent progress in the development of photonic sources and detectors (specifically photon number resolving detectors) propels research and development in efficient and scalable quantum photonic sensing devices. The photon number resolving detection technology

UKRI Quantum - 10071684 - CATALYST - Hybrid compilation framework to accelerate quantum application development$500Kvalue2023start2025end

As part of the international consortium project “CATALYST”, this project will develop a hybrid quantum-classical compilation framework to accelerate near-term fault tolerant applications. The UK and Canada National Quantum Strategies both identify that "interconnected quantum computers and classical computers" with hybrid solutions are "likely to be critical to achieving the best results." Progress on quantum applications research in Rolls-Royce and other industrial end-users is currently severely hampered by long setup and circuit generation times. The partners aim to develop an innovative h

JPN MNE – EQUIP -EUV Quantum Unified Industrial Pipeline$500Kvalue2026start2028end

As part of the international consortium project EUV Quantum Unified Industrial Pipeline, this project will develop a "full-stack" quantum simulation workflow to accurately model the interactions that cause blur in EUV lithography for semiconductor chip manufacturing. By integrating advanced quantum computing algorithms into multi-scale models, the workflow aims to accelerate the discovery of high-performance photoresists and secure a competitive edge in semiconductor manufacturing.

Integrated photonic platform for quantum computation and simulation$300Kvalue2018start2019end

Design and construction of an integrated photonic device for quantum computation and simulation, using on-chip squeezed light sources and interferometers, interfaced with an existing software platform.

Transition Edge Sensors for Photon Number Resolution$148Kvalue2021start2022end

NRC is seeking a solution that will enable us to detect and distinguish photon number states up to 5-10 photons at various wavelengths including 800nm and 1550nm for development of photonic quantum technologies; the photon number resolving detection technology should operate above 200kHz rate with software and hardware integration to allow for automatic calibration and data collection.

Japan MNE – QCEL: Quantum computing for extreme ultraviolet lithography$75.0Kvalue2025start2025end

The drive for increased computing power has led to the continued miniaturization of integrated circuits, pushing feature sizes down to where quantum effects significantly impact performance. These effects have become particularly important with the advent of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) for wafer patterning. Designing new photoresist materials is thus key to unlocking more advanced chip manufacturing. This project combines Xanadu’s expertise in developing quantum algorithms and Mitsubishi’s expertise in semiconductor chip manufacturing to simulate light-matter interactions in EUV lith
