CQT

We’ll be posting less on X this year. Thank you for following us here. You can still find us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn as @quantumlah for quantum news from Singapore.

The #Quantum100 celebrates the diverse community of people powering quantum science and technology. Find CQT Principal Investigator Yvonne Gao in the list buff.ly/ursFkAP

Happy holidays from all of us at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies🎄

Our latest #quantumcomputing news: CQT and other Singapore research organisations have entered a five-year Master Research Collaboration Agreement with Keysight to advance capabilities in the design and control of qubits. buff.ly/41Vyo6o

CQT's Yvonne Gao is named to the #Quantum100! An initiative for the International Year of Quantum, the 100 individuals present a snapshot of quantum careers and community across academia, industry, education, art, culture, journalism and policy. Meet them: buff.ly/ursFkAP

CQT groups can nominate candidates for the Alice Postdoctoral Fellowship until the end of the year. Both existing and incoming scientists are eligible. It's a small step to address the underrepresentation of women in quantum science and technology 👩‍🎓 buff.ly/gn6E1Gy

"I like the intellectual curiosity and learning new things. Every second or third paper I write tends to be in a new direction – that is my sneaky way to learn more," says CQT Fellow Antonios Varvitsiotis. buff.ly/Dmfkf7B

We catch up with CQT Fellow Antonios Varvitsiotis in our latest interview. His group works on optimisation problems that come up in both classical and quantum AI. Some of their recent work focuses on systems of quantum agents. buff.ly/Dmfkf7B

Under new agreements signed at the French-Singaporean Quantum Symposium 2025, CQT researchers have new opportunities to collaborate with the French quantum companies Pasqal and Quobly. buff.ly/BVAAqAX

Researchers at CQT and @sutdsg have sent polarisation-entangled photons from an integrated photonic chip over a record distance of 155 km of deployed fibre. 🔆 Their paper in Newton: bit.ly/48KzC6S 🔆 Our story: bit.ly/4pAiuGo

The last defence this year 🥳💐 Kudos to Hu Yanglin for successfully defending his thesis, "Quantum Oblivious Transfer: Bounds and Applications", on how to protect privacy with quantum technologies and how to learn quantum systems efficiently. He was advised by @marcotomamichel

CQT hosted the international conference Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning (QTML) from 16 to 21 November in Singapore. Over 300 participants met to discuss the theme “AI for Quantum, Quantum for AI”. buff.ly/5wDNtv5

We're looking to award an Alice Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2026 to a woman researcher working at CQT. Read more about our Alice Prizes here: buff.ly/gn6E1Gy

CQT is a supporting institution for the second French-Singaporean Quantum Symposium (FSQS 2025) held in Paris from 25 to 26 November. At FSQS 2025, three agreements were signed, strengthening collaboration between the two countries 🇸🇬🤝🇫🇷 buff.ly/BVAAqAX

Last call to attend the🌟ASEAN Quantum Summit🌟 happening 10-12 December in Malaysia. Registrations close 26 Nov 📝 buff.ly/ZkM6H6V

Thanks to @sciencecentresg for the opportunity to share our science this @quantumyear2025! 🙌 On 22 Nov, we demonstrated how thermal cameras let us 'see' invisible infrared light, or blackbody radiation. Explaining this spectrum led to the introduction of 'quanta'.

Malaysia is holding the first ASEAN Quantum Summit, 10-12 December, to mark the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology #IYQ2025. ASEAN representatives and others will come together to discuss and advance regional collaboration buff.ly/ZkM6H6V

Another successful defence from Principal Investigator Murray Barrett's group! 🍾 Zhao Qi defended her thesis on "Ion Trap System for 176Lu+ 3D2 Clock Transition". Congratulations! 👏👏👏
