BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE QUANTUM FUTURE AND NOW.
The Quantum Algorithms Institute is your trusted source for stepping into the quantum future. We make the adoption of quantum technologies accessible, tangible and collaborative for everyone.
WHAT WE DO
At the Quantum Algorithms Institute, we provide the expertise, training, and connections for the accelerated adoption of quantum technologies across business, education, and government in British Columbia, Canada and beyond.
Why Quantum Computing?
-
The speed at which quantum computers can solve the world’s most complex problems is going to be a potential game-changer across virtually every industry. In fact, Nobel Laureate Bill Philips has said that “your Macbook has more in common with an abacus than it does with a quantum computer”.
This supercharged ability to tackle real-world, life-or-death problems is just around the corner. -
Quantum computing is not just the latest iteration of supercomputers — it’s a fundamentally new way of computing that allows us to use infinite possibilities to solve problems that were once considered too challenging to solve efficiently.
Classical computing is based on bits, which are binary in nature (think 1’s and 0’s) but they can only be one value at a time.
Quantum computers run on tiny subatomic particles called qubits, which allow them to explore infinite possibilities at the same time. This means quantum computing has the potential to address some of the most persistent problems on earth, like climate change or health care.
-
There’s a reason why tech giants like Google, IBM and Amazon, plus governments across the globe are investing in this space.
Quantum Computing will affect the revenue models for virtually all existing businesses and revolutionize the way we do work. In fact, a study from the Boston Consulting Group expects quantum computing to create US $850 billion in 30 years.
From businesses looking for a competitive edge to individuals who want to advance their careers — quantum could offer the answer.

Our Members & Partners
At the Quantum Algorithms Institute, we believe in working together to strengthen the quantum ecosystem. If you’re interested in partnering or passionate about accelerating quantum adoption — get in touch.
OUR APPROACH
British Columbia is already an emerging leader in quantum technology and we’re taking that to the next level.
Acting as a nexus within B.C.’s quantum ecosystem by connecting key partners, increasing quantum awareness and literacy across the province, and identifying opportunities for businesses to harness the power of quantum — we’re committed to creating a flourishing quantum community that bridges academia and business towards the growth of B.C.’s quantum industry.
Upcoming Events
Meet the Quantum Community.
QAI and our partners hold events for industry, post-secondary, students, and those brand new to quantum. Come meet the quantum community and learn more about quantum in B.C.
