SpooQy-1 shows promise of nanosatellites for quantum networks

We are celebrating a succesful year in orbit for SpooQy-1, the quantum nanosatellite built at CQT. Data published 25 June 2020 confirm that quantum entanglement is being created onboard the 2.6kg satellite, some 400km above Earth - a step towards building a global quantum internet. The picture shows the satellite being launched from the International Space Station in June 2019.

CQT to welcome new Director in July

The Centre for Quantum Technologies is to welcome José Ignacio Latorre as its new Director in July. He will take over from Artur Ekert, who has led CQT since it was founded in 2007. José Ignacio says, “I’m excited to work with the CQT team in the passionate and uncompromised search for knowledge and its applications, to make CQT and Singapore play a pivotal role in the new quantum era.”

CQT welcomes three new Principal Investigators

We are happy to welcome three new Principal Investigators to CQT! Yvonne Gao, Charles Lim and Marco Tomamichel joined us in May as PIs to lead research groups in quantum computing, quantum communication and information theory. They bring to 24 the number of PIs working at CQT. Our new PIs will be recruiting research staff and students - candidates can approach them directly about opportunities.

Presenting CQT's Annual Report for 2019

Looking back at 2019, our Annual Report reviews work from experiments in quantum computing to initiatives to strengthen the local research community - which already counts 44 groups nationwide. Read features on our research and get facts and figures on our publications, industry and outreach activites and awards. This 40-page report is available to download as a PDF. We hope you will find it both enjoyable and informative.

Three winning quantum stories

Congratulations to the winners of the Quantum Shorts flash fiction competition! The three winning stories, chosen from a shortlist of ten creative works of quantum fiction, explore the many worlds idea from quantum physics. Find all the stories, more background on the judges and interviews with the winning authors at shorts.quantumlah.org. The contest is organised by CQT with international media and scientific partners.

Horizon announces seed funding boost to S$4.5 million

The Singapore-based software startup is led by former CQT Principal Investigator Joe Fitzsimons. The company aims to democratise quantum software development with tools to automatically accelerate programs written for conventional computers.

Congratulations to the winners of the Quantum Shorts flash fiction competition! The contest is run by CQT with support from international media and scientific partners.

The group of CQT’s Kai Dieckmann demonstrate in Physical Review Letters a new method to move dipolar molecules towards their ground state

Collaboration with ST Engineering to develop quantum-resilient encryptors

ST Engineering and the National University of Singapore will work together to develop network encryption solutions that use quantum key distribution. The project will be led by CQT Principal Investigator Charles Lim as part of the national Quantum Engineering Progamme.
