Singapore and Canada Team Up to Boost Quantum Tech

Collaboration to Enhance Quantum Computing and Light Sources

Singapore's A*STAR and Canada's Xanadu have signed a deal to collaborate on several quantum technology projects, including improving the accuracy of quantum computers and developing advanced quantum light sources. This partnership builds on their previous collaborations and now includes more institutes and new research areas.

Strengthening Research Capabilities

• A*STAR is renowned for its expertise in photonics, semiconductors, and advanced packaging.
• Xanadu is a leader in photonic quantum computing.

Together, they aim to accelerate the development of quantum technologies and make them more practical for real-world applications.

Expanding Horizons with a Major Investment

In addition to their research collaboration, Xanadu is merging with a Canadian company to raise approximately $500 million. This funding will support the further development of Xanadu's quantum computing platform, bringing it closer to solving real-world problems.

A Strategic Step for Singapore

This partnership is expected to strengthen Singapore's position in the global quantum technology race, making quantum computing more accessible and useful for everyone.
