Who We Are
ABOUT US
The Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) works with our members and partners across academia, industry and government to strengthen BC’s quantum ecosystem and help translate quantum research and technologies into real-world applications.
Our work includes promoting BC’s quantum capabilities, bringing the community together, supporting training and talent development, and connecting partners to advance research collaboration, commercialization and adoption.
OUR APPROACH
We are working with our Members and ecosystem partners to develop two complementary initiatives
BC Quantum Gateway
A front door to BC’s quantum ecosystem, promoting the sector and connecting researchers, companies, students, industry users and investors with expertise, infrastructure, partnerships and resources. The Gateway will bring the community together, support training and talent development, and help partners advance collaborative projects, commercialization and adoption.
BC Quantum Opportunity Fund
A proposed funding initiative to help promising, partner-led projects move forward by sharing development risk and attracting matching support for applied quantum technologies and real-world applications.
These initiatives are in development. Further details on activities, funding and timing will be shared as plans are finalized and the necessary approvals are obtained. The Opportunity Fund is not yet accepting applications.
We welcome conversations with organizations interested in collaborating, identifying potential applications or supporting these initiatives. Please contact Kathryn Hayashi, CEO, at kathryn.hayashi@qai.ca.
