The telecom gear maker in a statement said that it will pair its researchers with post-doctoral fellows at the universities in Canada to carry out fellowships at Ericsson, support quantum research projects, provide academic challenges, telecom and networking comptencies, and facilities to conduct research.
“It’s our hope that this first-of-its-kind program and partnership with the University of Ottawa<\/a> and the University of Sherbrooke<\/a> will help translate quantum research into commercial innovations that generate economic benefits and support the adoption of made-in-Canada solutions by businesses,” said Jeanette Irekvist, President, Ericsson Canada<\/a>.
According to Irekvist, this will foster mutual strengths in quantum research, innovation and commercialsation, and the “growth and success of the Canadian ecosystem”.
Mitacs<\/a> will deliver support in the attraction, training, retention, and deployment of highly qualified personnel in quantum science and technology through internship and professional skills development. Interns will work with researchers at Ericsson Canada and the universities.
“As a long-trusted partner in Canada’s technology ecosystem for 70 years, we are encouraged by the establishment of Ericsson Canada’s Quantum hub in Montreal and look forward to fostering partnerships between industry, government and academia that will strengthen our mutual research and cement Canada’s competitive advantage for decades to come,” said Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne.
“The goal includes, but is not limited to, the exploration of quantum technologies that can have an exponential effect on computation time and memory footprint to solve challenging communication problems,” said Magnus Frodigh, Vice President, Head of Ericsson Research.
Ericsson, while citing a study commissioned by the NRC in 2020, said that it is estimated that, by 2045, the Canadian quantum industry will be a $139 billion industry and account for 209,200 jobs.
