Industry Overview
Overview
With growing global interest in the commercial potential of quantum technologies, from the precision sensors of today to the quantum computers of the future, we aim to deliver value from our research. The Centre for Quantum Technologies is recognised as a world-class research centre in its field. With some 250 research staff and students, we offer a critical mass of expertise. We welcome contact from industry or government to:
- Be informed
How can your business or operations stay relevant as quantum technologies mature – whether considering the promise of quantum computing, or the migration to quantum-safe communication? We can help you understand the potential applications of quantum technology in these areas and others.
- Engage with us
We welcome partnerships with industry as research collaborators or as technology partners, particularly through the national-level quantum programmes. For downstream applications, you can ask CQT about intellectual property available for licensing or engage the local startups commercialising quantum technologies.
- Hire from us
CQT trains its researchers and students to a high standard. We have created a core of people who could staff technology businesses. To encourage innovation, businesses need active problem solvers – and there’s no doubt that doing research at CQT develops such skills. Talk to us if you’re interested in hiring.
Examples of our activities
Industry Workshops
CQT can organise customised workshops on practical quantum technologies for government agencies and private businesses. Contact us about your areas of interest to explore what is possible.
Exhibition
CQT exhibits at select conferences to build awareness of quantum technologies and the expertise in Singapore. We have participated in events including Supercomputing Asia and Asia Tech x Singapore.
Collaboration
We work with commercial and government partners to pursue the translation of quantum research discoveries towards commercial products, for example in the National Quantum-Safe Network and the National Quantum Computing Hub.
Expert Speakers
CQT researchers have been invited as speakers on topics from the development of quantum algorithms to satellites for quantum communication. Event organisers are welcome to approach us for speaker recommendations.
Quantum hardware
The Centre’s experimental scientists have designed and built devices including fast quantum random number generators and rugged sources of entangled photon pairs. Some IP and know-how is licensed to CQT spin-offs.
