✨️🎓️ Congratulations to CQT’s 26 graduates in 2026! 🎓️✨️

They officially received their degrees at a National University of Singapore commencement ceremony on 15 July. This is the largest batch of graduates since CQT was established in 2007.

Some of the graduates attended the ceremony in person, celebrating with family, friends and mentors.

We wish our graduates all the best!!!

Some years back, CQT researchers proved in theory that quantum advantage could be extracted from analogue quantum systems. Now, collaborators at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have realised this advantage in an experiment with cold atoms.

CQT Principal Dimitris Angelakis and his former graduate student Supanut Thanaslip, co-authors on the original prediction, also contributed to the new work.

Researchers demonstrate that quantum advantage could be extracted from analogue quantum systems in an experiment with cold atoms.

Quantum Hackamonth status: complete ✅

Our first ever Quantum Hackamonth held 1-26 June brought together some 40 early-career researchers to collaborate on quantum algorithms.

“There are so many exciting projects to work on and so many great people to talk to at CQT that one could work here forever,” said PhD student Oxana Shaya, participating from Leibniz University Hannover in Germany.

Unlike a typical hackathon, which invites coders to work intensely over a few days towards prizes, the Hackamonth was conceived to encourage thoughtful collaboration over weeks. The participants were 29 international PhD students and postdocs, selected from over 150 applicants, and seven Singapore-based researchers.

On 1 July, UOB announced a collaboration with CQT to pioneer the application of quantum computing techniques to the valuation of complex financial derivatives.

Through this collaboration, UOB and CQT will assess how quantum computing methods could process large volumes of scenarios more efficiently under certain conditions, to achieve faster valuation, improved precision and more scalable approaches to managing derivative risks over time.

The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academic research in quantum algorithms and real-world financial applications
