Welcome to Kavan Modi! Kavan joins CQT as a Principal Investigator. He is also a Professor at the SUTD Singapore University of Technology & Design.

His research is focused on understanding quantum stochastic processes. He says, "We can use this to understand noise in quantum systems and error correction, as well as the dynamics of natural systems or condensed matter systems."

🌐 Their goal is to build quantum networks that span the globe, but the 100 researchers who gathered in Singapore on 27-29 April still find value in being in one room. We hosted these delegates for the fifth Workshop for Quantum Repeaters and Networks (WQRN5)!

The workshop featured seven sessions of invited talks and Q&A, with topics ranging from quantum repeaters and quantum network components to architectures and worldwide quantum network efforts. Attendees could also present posters, with over 50 put on display.

Participants of the workshop met some of Singapore’s wider research community through visits to labs at Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and CQT labs at National University of Singapore.

Qubit Pharmaceuticals has announced a strategic research collaboration with CQT to develop and use novel quantum algorithms for molecular discovery.

The two-year collaboration combines Qubit Pharmaceuticalsʼ expertise in quantum chemistry and sampling techniques with CQTʼs deep capabilities in quantum computing, circuit design, and experimental implementation. The goal is to bring advanced quantum chemistry methods closer to real-world drug discovery applications.
