QAI builds formal connections with quantum experts in Canadian universities and colleges.

Quantum computing is a nascent business sector that is growing rapidly. There is a global shortage of quantum talent.  Post-secondary professors, post-doctoral researchers, as well as PhD, post-graduate and undergraduate students hold a significant share of the world’s quantum expertise and can help drive the growth of this transformative sector. 

QAI helps researchers, educators and students to share their expertise with industry, governments, and non-profit organizations.  We partner on applied research projects, create and deliver training to industry and government professionals, and promote BC quantum expertise to the world. 

QAI helps to make BC a hub of world-class quantum knowledge and a vibrant and collaborative quantum community. 

Contact us if you would like to become a QAI Affiliate.  We welcome applications from all post-secondary faculty and students in Canada who have interests in applied quantum technologies and software.
