A national research centre in quantum technologies

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) has some 220 staff and students doing research into the foundations of quantum physics and the ways quantum physics enables new technologies. Established in 2007, CQT is hosted at the National University of Singapore and also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design.

Singapore announces National Quantum Strategy

Singapore has launched a new National Quantum Strategy (NQS) to strengthen its position as a leading hub in the development and deployment of quantum technologies. Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Research Foundation (NRF) Mr Heng Swee Keat announced the NQS in his Opening Address at Asia Tech x Summit on 30 May 2024. Funded by NRF, NQS will see close to S$300 million being invested over five years.

Small, flat entanglement source could be boon for quantum computing

Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have generated entangled photons from a two-dimensional (2D) material. The team’s method could be useful for chip-based photonic quantum computing. The work led by CQT Principal Investigator Gao Weibo is published in Nature Photonics.

Meet a CQTian: Guo Naixu

Guo Naixu is currently a a third-year PhD student in Patrick Rebentrost's group working on on quantum algorithms and quantum learning theory. Naixu is also a guqin player. His interest in this instrument started as an undergraduate in Japan. He says, "It was very lucky that I found out there is a great Japanese guqin master, Muka Fushimi, in Kyoto and he lived near my home. I directly knocked on his door and began this music journey. I quite enjoy this kind of fate."

French-Singaporean Quantum Symposia kick off in Singapore

CQT is proud to be one of the organisers for the French-Singaporean Quantum Symposium (FSQS) 2024. From 5 to 7 November, over 170 delegates gathered in Singapore to discuss how strategic quantum partnerships could be built between the two countries. Two more editions are planned with FSQS 2025 taking place in Paris, France, and FSQS 2026 in Singapore.
