Where quantum technology becomes quantum solutions
About us
Quantum City is building an ecosystem for quantum science and technology in Alberta bringing together researchers and developers, industry and adopters of quantum technology and serves as the hub for all quantum solutions. The creation of Quantum City is the result of a strategic collaboration between the University of Calgary, the Government of Alberta and Mphasis, which is Quantum City’s first industry partner. Quantum City’s mandate is to establish quantum-focused fabrication infrastructure, create pipelines for quantum and quantum-adjacent talent and expertise, and bridge the gap between quantum technologies and solutions to drive the development of a vibrant economic and scientific hub based in Calgary. These combined assets will create a unique, and once-in-a-generation opportunity to position Alberta as a national and international jurisdiction in the new quantum economy.
