CQT's Loh Huanqian wins L'Oreal national fellowship

CQT Principal Investigator Loh Huanqian has won a 2018 L’Oréal Singapore For Women In Science National Fellowship. Only two of the prestigious national fellowships for women scientists under 35 are awarded in Singapore each year. Huanqian was named the 2018 Physical & Engineering Science Fellow. She leads a group working on the quantum control of ultracold molecules.

Next CQT colloquium on Thursday 20 December

For our final colloquium of the year, we are pleased to welcome Hoi-Kwong Lo from the University of Toronto. His talk on "Cyber-security in a quantum world" will address the assumptions in secrity proofs of quantum key distribution (QKD) and discuss efforts on quantum hacking and counter-measures. He will also present recent results on measurement-device-independent QKD and twin-field type QKD protocols.

The colloquium will be held at CQT's seminar room, S15-03-15/16. All are welcome.

A national research centre of excellence

The Centre for Quantum Technologies was established as a national research centre of excellence in Singapore in 2007. We have over 150 scientists and students doing research into the foundations of quantum physics and the ways quantum physics enables new technologies. 

Join us for CQT's annual symposium on quantum technologies

On the occasion of CQT’s 11th anniversary, we are organising a symposium on quantum technologies with strong international and local speakers. We welcome all interested researchers and industry colleagues to join us for the event on 24 January 2019. The one-day programme features talks and a panel discussion across a range of experimental and theoretical topics. Registration is free.

Singapore and UK collaborate to develop quantum-secured communications networks

The S$18 million initiative between the Singapore and UK governments will build and deploy a satellite quantum key distribution (QKD) test bed. Under the collaboration, Singapore and UK will co-develop a 'QKD Qubesat', a satellite based on the CubeSat standard that will use a pioneering QKD technology from Singapore to test the secure distribution of cryptographic keys over globe-spanning distances.
