We'll be at Yishun Library tomorrow to share a 100-year story of quantum ✨ The talk visits the 💥 ultraviolet catastrophe ⚛️atomic bombs ⏰ atomic clocks 💻 transistors 🧲 superconductivity 🔗 quantum entanglement and more.
📢 Join us! No registration is needed
Here comes the Singapore Quantum Youth Collective. This group consolidates quantum interest groups across Singapore universities, and on 6 March they will be at CQT for "Quantum Questions"
CQT Fellow Nelly Ng says, “We are trying to systematically add to the toolbox of quantum algorithms.”
"There is a lot to do and learn. It is not just physics – there is engineering and coding too, for example. Learning the skills to make the project work is what I enjoy the most," says first-year CQT PhD student Lim Zi Way.

In work published in @physrevlett.bsky.social, CQT researchers and collaborators describe how a math technique first introduced 35 years ago can be repurposed to help quantum computers find many-body ground states.

Congratulations to CQT Principal Investigator Hoi-Kwong Lo on winning the 2026 Leonard Mandel Quantum Optics Award! He is recognised for work including the invention of decoy-state and measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Happy Chinese New Year! 🐴 May quantum physics develop at a galloping pace in the Year of the Horse!
"KwekFest2026: Entangled Celebrations and Quantum Odyssey" happened this month to honour one of CQT’s founding Principal Investigators. Happy birthday to Professor Leong Chuan Kwek 🐻🎉
📢 Announcing the Quantum Software Alliance, a global network of experts to champion and coordinate the development of quantum software. CQT is proud to be among the 21 founding academic centres

Our first colloquium of 2026! We warmly welcome Wolf von Klitzing from the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas to speak on "Quantum limits on matter-wave guiding". The colloquium is on Thursday, 22 January at 4pm. More info: bit.ly/4cbDVs9
Our first successful defence this year! 🎉🎓 Congratulations to Ng Si Qi! 👏 His thesis is titled "High-Performance Silicon Photonic Devices and Integrated System for Quantum Communication". Si Qi's advisor is Alexander Ling and his co-advisors are Charles Lim and Wang Chao.
It's almost time to say goodbye to 2025, celebrated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, but you can still look forward to quantum updates from us in 2026. Happy holidays!
Our latest news: CQT is among several Singapore research organisations to have entered a five-year Master Research Collaboration Agreement with Keysight. The partnership aims to advance capabilities in the design and control of qubits. buff.ly/41Vyo6o
CQT's Yvonne Gao is named to the #Quantum100! An initiative for the International Year of Quantum, the 100 individuals present a snapshot of quantum careers and community across academia, industry, education, art, culture, journalism and policy. Meet them: buff.ly/ursFkAP
"I like the intellectual curiosity and learning new things. Every second or third paper I write tends to be in a new direction – that is my sneaky way to learn more," says CQT Fellow Antonios Varvitsiotis.
