Capability profile
Single Quantum Systems develops quantum optical sensing and communications, including quantum LiDAR, single-photon approaches and correlation algorithms. Its Canadian product page identifies the systems as in development.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
CanadaBuys documents the C$1,149,750 quantum-imaging prototype contract from March 2026 to March 2028. The official products remain in development; kilometre-range and centimetre-accuracy statements are developer claims.
Contact the Waterloo company for development and research collaboration; the evidence does not establish a fully commercial catalogue.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.

The Canadian company develops quantum optical sensing and communication systems, including quantum LIDAR and correlation algorithms. Its current products page explicitly says products are in development. Kilometre-distance and centimetre-accuracy statements are developer objectives or claims, not independently verified field acceptance. The official site identifies the company in Waterloo, Ontario; similarly named Dutch detector products are a different supplier.

CanadaBuys identifies Single Quantum Systems at a Kitchener address as contractor CW2440401; this is distinct from similarly named overseas detector suppliers. The March 2026 Quantum Imaging contract runs to March 2028, is classified as product R&D, and identifies prototype purchase. ISED and DRDC are the buying organizations for Quantum Imaging; the record does not disclose detailed detector architecture or prove operational field acceptance.
