Advances in quantum technology have the potential to revolutionize how people work and live, both in Canada and globally. SNOLAB’s depth, technical expertise, cryogenic capabilities, and experience working with large international collaborations and hosting large, complex experiments makes it an ideal partner for international research in quantum materials, quantum computing, and quantum sensing.
Cosmic rays, quantum bits and SNOLAB intersect to advance the future of computing
The SNOLAB-owned Cryogenic Underground TEst facility (CUTE) facility has been selected to host a collaboration between researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo, Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, Laurentian University, and SNOLAB to investigate the impact of radiation and cosmic rays on quantum technologies. The experiment examines the known link between cosmic rays and quantum bits, or qubits, which hold information at the quantum level.
