Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program

Detailed Description

The Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program collaborates with industry and academia to support commercial innovation to build on Canada's position as a global leader in applied quantum computing. The program also supports quantum initiatives across the Government of Canada, working with federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations to explore applications of quantum computing for public service operations and program delivery. The program was developed in alignment with the development of the Government of Canada's National Quantum Strategy. The strategy will amplify Canada's significant strength in quantum research; grow our quantum‑ready technologies, companies and talent; and solidify Canada's global leadership in this area. The Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program will deliver quantum algorithms, simulations and software that will enable scientific discovery, delivering new technologies for human health, climate change, and advanced materials with far-reaching benefits to society.
