In less than 15 years, a global hub for quantum research has been created from almost nothing in Waterloo Region. It includes: the largest theoretical physics institute in the world, the most state-of-the-art labs ever built to fabricate quantum devices and hundreds of researchers recruited from around the globe.

Spinoff companies are being created, patents are being filed and luxury hotels and restaurants are springing up to service an incoming scientific class. Quantum is becoming a household word for the general public, who are lapping up science lectures at surprising rates.

More than $700 million has been spent, in both private and public money, to get us here. What’s evolved is a local “ecosystem” built to harness the quantum world from start to finish — cutting-edge theoretical research, pioneering experimental work and venture capital funds to help commercialize the quantum devices being developed.
