TQI QuickBits: Big Names, Big Deals; Qanada, And More News in Quantum
The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
Historically, most industries see a slowdown during the summer months, as holidays and vacations begin to ease the pace. If that's happening in quantum, I don't see it.
A flow of interesting news this week, including more investments and ecosystem growth. In fact, some of the biggest names in quantum tech and technology, in general, rode this week's media wave, including 微软 , IonQ and SandboxAQ .
You can read more about their quantum advances, releases and collaborations below.
We've come to expect big news out of the Canadian quantum community -- and lots happening this week, especially in Quebec.
I note, with interest, though, that when we talk about national ecosystems, there's something else going on. National ecosystems, like the ones developing in Canada, are attracting international collaborations -- such as French quantum computer maker Pasqal and globally recognized venture capital firm Quantonation . We also see IonQ participating in quantum ecosystems in Switzerland.
To paraphrase. No quantum ecosystem is an island.

Quantum Qanada Quotes
Canada is an important quantum ecosystem -- and it is thriving by matching its own technological advantages with global partnerships. Distriq, Zone Innovation Quantique de Sherbrooke based in Université de Sherbrooke , Quebec, announced the creation of the Quantum Studio and its partnership with Quantonation Ventures and ACET (Accélérateur de création d'entreprises technologiques) .
“Quantum Studio is a powerful and unprecedented next step for accelerating quantum innovation. By providing quantum scientists and entrepreneurs with a leading global platform that meets their ambitions, we empower them to successfully bring their transformative ideas to reality. We are extremely proud to be part of this leap in the evolution of the quantum field, and proud to strengthen ties with Quantonation Ventures the global leader in quantum investment. We expect other Quebec funds and funding partners to join the initiative in the coming months.” -- Richard St-Pierre, Managing Director of DistriQ – Quantum Innovation Zone
And another quote from the PASQAL team that's planning to build a quantum computer factory in this vibrant and growing ecosystem.
“This location is ideal to catalyze PASQAL’s collaborations with academic institutions and industries in North America, ensuring a sustainable development in the growing quantum computing market. The ecosystem in Sherbrooke, fostered by the dynamism of DistriQ – Quantum Innovation Zone in Sherbrooke, is fertile ground for quantum industrial companies like PASQAL. DistriQ is unique, as it is gathering the key leading players in the value chain, from science to industrial applications." -- Rapha?l de Thoury, CEO of PASQAL Canada.
