Insider Brief

  • Zero Point Cyrogenics (ZPC) is collaborating with the University of Waterloo and the Government of Canada as part of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS).
  • The project is one of only six selected for the program.
  • ZPC is participating in the University of Waterloo’s ambitious project, ‘Microwave Quantum Radar.’

PRESS RELEASE — Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) is thrilled to announce our recent collaboration with the University of Waterloo and the Government of Canada as part of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program. One of only six projects selected for this challenge, this funding signifies a major leap forward in Canadian quantum technology research, focusing on defence and security applications.

The IDEaS program, initiated by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF), aims to propel the application of advanced quantum technologies for national defence and security. Recognizing the rapid development in this sector, the focus is to transition the prolific research and development from academia and industry towards addressing specific needs in defence and security.

In line with this vision, ZPC is participating in the University of Waterloo‘s ambitious project, ‘Microwave Quantum Radar.’ This project, which includes collaborations with Qubic Technologies and Carleton University, has been awarded a significant contribution agreement worth $3 million.

The ‘Microwave Quantum Radar’ project is part of a series of research micro-nets aimed at exploring quantum sensing and sensors, quantum communications, and quantum computing, simulations, and algorithms. These micro-nets, supported by the IDEaS program, are set to receive non-repayable contributions, encouraging innovative research in science and technology challenges.
