Quantum Research 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 2050’s.
Quantum research at UCalgary includes all phases of the quantum research pipeline, from foundational science to technology creation.
