Quantum at UCalgary
Join the next quantum revolution
Transforming our future through quantum science and technology
Quantum research at UCalgary is revolutionizing our understanding of nature's basic elements, enriching our knowledge of the universe and driving technology innovation.
Quantum discoveries are a powerful engine of innovation, spurring the development of devices such as lasers and advanced information technologies that have transformed the way we live. This timeline is long – Quantum technology being developed now grew out of quantum foundational studies 25 or more years ago, and the foundational studies of today could lead to ground-breaking technologies in the 2050s.
Quantum research at UCalgary includes all phases of the quantum research pipeline, from foundational science to technology creation.
Our researchers were featured in volume 3 of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's Impact magazine.
2025 International Year of Quantum Science & Technology
UCalgary is a proud supporting sponsor of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science & Technology (IYQ). Marking 100 years of quantum mechanics, IYQ aims to raise public awareness of quantum science’s impact on all aspects of life.
