Singapore’s Quantum Engineering Programme (QEP) and Keysight Technologies signed a Memorandum of Understanding on April 27, 2022, to collaborate in accelerating research, development, and education in quantum technologies, according to a joint announcement.
Under the MoU, the parties established a programme named “Quantum Joint Innovation Accelerator” to give researchers participating in QEP access to Keysight’s software design tools and advanced test and measurement equipment. Researchers could apply to evaluate Keysight measurement tools in their laboratories and access equipment hosted at Keysight’s premises in Singapore.
QEP and Keysight agreed to cooperate in the development of quantum instrument packages and enabling technologies for scalable quantum systems. The signing was witnessed by representatives from the Economic Development Board and the Ministry of Defence.
