BC Stands Out in the Global Quantum Landscape

A recent McKinsey & Company report highlights the rapid evolution of the quantum computing sector, with Canada ranking second worldwide in quantum startups, home to 29 quantum companies. Among these, BC stands out as a key hub for innovation, anchoring national leadership through world-class organizations and a thriving ecosystem of quantum research and commercialization. As the world prepares for the arrival of Q-Day—the moment when quantum computers surpass current encryption standards—the importance of secure, scalable quantum communication has never been clearer. BC’s growing strength in this space reinforces its role as a global leader in building the technologies that will define the next era of computing.
