The primary goal of this project is to accelerate firm’s progress toward achieving Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) Level 2 compliance by Spring 2027. Achieving this certification is a mandatory prerequisite for eligibility within Canadian Forces procurement processes and a recognized standard across NATO member nations.

The project will focus on the strategic integration of advanced anti-corrosion coating technology into the defence sector, with the primary objective of extending the performance and lifetime of respective critical metal marine assets.

This project will advance the deployment readiness of a decision intelligence platform for use in mission-critical environments.

This project will prepare a Canadian AI-enabled training and simulation platform for engagement in dual-use applications by strengthening market, procurement, and security readiness.

The project will consist of market research with respect to potential defense industry customers, competitors and the overall industry and its use of simulation-based technology for autonomous systems engineering.

Adapt the firm’s software platform—which transforms technical 3D models into accessible interactive applications—to the secure environments of the defence sector. Analyze the regulatory and certification requirements specific to this sector, integrate cybersecurity practices, and make the necessary technical adaptations to enable the solution’s deployment in the operational and secure environments of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The global effort to develop scalable quantum networks requires platforms that combine long coherence times with strong and controllable coupling to photonic circuits—capabilities that existing atomic and solid-state systems can only partially provide. While warm/cold atomic gases and single-atom traps offer excellent coherence, they are difficult to integrate into compact photonic systems, and solid-state colour centres face challenges such as phonon sidebands, spectral diffusion, or the need for sub-Kelvin temperatures. Molecular systems, and lanthanide complexes in particular, offer a transformative opportunity: their local chemical environment can be precisely engineered to minimize decoherence, suppress non-radiative decay, and support both ensemble-based quantum memories and single?emitter qubits. Early demonstrations of long optical and spin coherence in lanthanide complexes highlight the strong potential of this emerging platform for quantum networking, sensing, and communication.

This project is to understand the defence landscape and to enhance
Canada's defence readiness by leveraging use of modular hybrid deployable power systems.

The project targets the analysis and development of novel quantum algorithms for scalable quantum computing under realistic hardware errors. The first theme seeks the development of detailed models of physical errors, tracking how they propagate through different architectures and quantum error correction codes, to characterize the residual logical level errors. These realistic error models will be used to understand the limits and opportunities for quantum algorithms on both near-term uncorrected devices and future error-corrected quantum processors. The second theme seeks to focus on the simulation of quantum localization, an important phenomenon that underpins questions about metal-insulator transitions and the thermalization of disordered interacting systems, which offers promise of intrinsic robustness to certain classes of errors. The project will leverage these two themes to optimize the co-design of simulation algorithms under expected physical and logical error models, to identify the most promising routes for algorithms simulating localization.

This project aims to purchase and install a solar system for irrigation pumps
