Four senior team members at 1QBit forged their academic foundations in Alberta, a connection now strengthened by the company’s membership in Quantum City. Formalizing a collaboration begun in 2022, 1QBit joins the University of Calgary-based initiative building infrastructure for quantum technology solutions.
Andrew Fursman, CEO of 1QBit, says, “We’ve watched Quantum City grow into one of the most energetic forces behind quantum industry and ecosystem development in the country,” and explained that the company is enthusiastic about using its software to support Quantum City’s initiatives. This membership ensures 1QBit remains connected to Alberta’s expanding quantum ecosystem.
1QBit Formalizes Ties with Growing Quantum City Ecosystem
1QBit’s membership in Quantum City will facilitate access to opportunities uniquely positioned by the initiative, strengthening the company’s connection to Alberta’s quantum technology sector. The move expands beyond event participation to a deeper, programmatic relationship. Andrew Fursman, CEO of 1QBit, has been an invited speaker at Quantum City’s annual qConnect summit, demonstrating a commitment extending beyond standard industry engagement, the company says. The Alberta province holds particular significance for 1QBit, as four senior team members completed their academic training there and maintain strong ties to the region.
This personal connection complements the company’s business investment in Quantum City, which is building fabrication infrastructure and talent programs at the University of Calgary. “We’re thrilled to be part of it, and to find ways to use our expertise and software to help its initiatives,” said Fursman.
1QBit’s expertise in quantum computing software, and its applicability to areas like quantum sensing, positions the company as a complementary member within Alberta’s expanding quantum ecosystem, according to the company. The company anticipates that this membership will ensure continued connectivity and participation in Quantum City’s momentum, furthering the development of real-world quantum solutions.
