Quantum Matter Institute
SBQMI identifies and explores quantum materials and phenomena, and exploits its knowledge to discover, design and build the quantum technologies of the future.
Since its 2010 inception, Blusson QMI has been recognized for world-class research, reflected by eight Canada Research Chairs, exceptionally high impact publication metrics, major national and international awards, and partnerships with the world’s leading universities and research institutes.
