Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC)
The Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC) is a premier interdisciplinary research centre focused on the theory and experimental realization of quantum technologies. Researchers at CQIQC advance quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and the control of complex quantum systems, enabling foundational capabilities for secure communications, advanced sensing platforms, and next-generation computational systems. The Centre promotes collaboration across physics, engineering, computer science and mathematics; supports endowed postdoctoral fellowships and student scholarships; and coordinates graduate education, seminars, workshops and international conferences in quantum science.

Quantum Software Consortium (QSC)
The Quantum Software Consortium (QSC) builds Canadian leadership in quantum software by developing high-impact methodologies for distributed quantum computing. QSC researchers design algorithms, architectures and software frameworks that enable multiple quantum processors to be networked together, pooling computational capacity to overcome current hardware limitations. This distributed approach represents a significant shift in quantum computing strategy and accelerates the path toward scalable, practical quantum systems.

Creative Destruction Lab Quantum Stream (CDL Quantum)
The CDL Quantum Stream supports the commercialization and translation of quantum technologies emerging from academic research. Hosted at the Rotman School of Management and integrated with the University of Toronto’s broader quantum ecosystem, CDL Quantum works with startups developing quantum computing hardware and software, quantum sensing platforms and secure communication technologies. By bridging foundational research and market deployment, the Quantum Stream strengthens Canada’s strategic position in the global quantum innovation landscape. In addition, the CDL Defence Stream augments this initiative by helping ventures align to real buyer needs, navigate government pathways, and build evidence toward testing and procurement with allied partners.
