This new generation of quantum sensors will have applications across a broad range of areas of concern to Canadians—from the environment, to natural resources, health care, and defence. Investing in the development of quantum sensing will allow Canada to build upon its global leadership position in quantum sciences and help lay the groundwork for a future high-tech industry centred around quantum technologies.
Hosted by the National Research Council of Canada's (NRC) Security and Disruptive Technologies Research Centre, the goal of the Internet of Things: Quantum Sensors Challenge program is to enable the development of revolutionary sensors that harness the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to provide enhanced precision, sensitivity, rates, and range of measurable phenomena. The ambition is that this new generation of sensor systems performing beyond the limits of classical physics may be engineered and commercialized for applications that benefit Canadians. The program is currently engaging with stakeholders on its areas of focus and is scheduled to begin implementation in the spring of 2021.
