Building on a partnership agreement to sponsor development of applications for quantum computing, CMC Microsystems and Xanadu Quantum Technologies, have announced five projects that will receive ongoing support.

The Xanadu Quantum Sandbox, was created by the two organizations to support the creation of new applications for quantum computing. We are proud to announce that the following projects have been accepted and will receive ongoing development support from CMC and Xanadu:

  • Professor Chris Beck, University of Toronto, Building Quantum Schedules in the Sand; Combinational Optimization, Resource Allocation and Scheduling in the Xanadu Sandbox
  • Professor Sonia Lopez Alarcom, RIT, Design Space of Heterogeneous Quantum Computing
  • IFF Technologies, Diffusion Based Analysis of a Biosystem Using Gaussian Boson Sampling
  • Professor Stephen Hughes, Queens University, Stochastic Electrodynamic Simulations Using the Xanadu Quantum Cloud
  • Professor Shengrui Wang, Université de Sherbrooke with Laplace Insights, Graph Analysis of Financial Markets

These five special projects will receive:

  • access to Xanadu quantum computers,
  • up to six months of free cloud time on Xanadu systems,
  • support from quantum programming experts at CMC and Xanadu.
  • guidance on applying for government funding to support further development
