AllanQ
Quantum timing
A portable molecular optical clock - a quantum timing reference engineered to deliver laboratory-grade frequency stability in the conditions real systems operate in.
Learn moreEdmonton quantum photonics company building integrated photonic modules across three product lines: AllanQ for quantum timing, LuciaQ for quantum networking and PolarisQ for quantum computing.

Canadian innovation builds a brighter tomorrow.
Q-Block Computing describes itself as “a home for the curious mind and unconventional thinking” that approaches “high-impact problems at the forefront of science and engineering”. It states that “we strive to realize fault-tolerant quantum systems from the elementary building block of Nature, atoms”, and is unusually direct about its field: “we are not afraid to admit that universal quantum computers of the future may not yield the kind of economic impact, as often portrayed in the media.” Its stated business model is that “The tools we develop in pursuit of our sciences are useful for other tasks in society”, commercialized as Q-block modules “for us to reach the scale needed for taking on big questions.”
Its AllanQ, LuciaQ and PolarisQ product lines are described on its own site as designed and manufactured in Edmonton, Alberta. q-block.ca
