A thoughtful and responsible approach to quantum innovation benefits all Canadians.

Building a responsible quantum ecosystem requires engagement not only from quantum experts, but also from diverse participants across sectors—social scientists, ethicists, lawyers, policymakers, industry leaders, environmental experts, educators, science communicators, EDI experts, and the general public.

CRQIT was co-founded by partners across Canada to establish a unified national voice for responsible quantum innovation:

• Laurier Centre for Women in Science

• Leap QuantiK Inc. Canada

• Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

CRQIT gratefully acknowledges the support of the Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI), NSERC, and the NSERC Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering.

Canada’s quantum hubs are also actively engaging and collaborating with CRQIT to embed responsibility, equity, and sustainability across research, commercialization, and policy.
