QuantumCore will collaborate with the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, accessing advanced facilities and Professor Christopher Wilson’s lab through non-dilutive NSERC funding of up to $1.7 million.
The partnership aims to accelerate development of superconducting traveling-wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs), essential for low-noise signal readout and improved qubit fidelity in scalable quantum computers.
By combining academic research and industry expertise, QuantumCore positions itself as a key infrastructure provider in Canada’s quantum sector, supporting the scaling of superconducting quantum systems and advancing commercial quantum computing viability.
