About Single Quantum Systems
Waterloo quantum-technology company developing optical systems for sensing and communications, including quantum LiDAR, single-photon detection and quantum-correlation methods.
Operating context
Single Quantum Systems' documented role in the Waterloo-led quantum-sensing project is the drone and outdoor signal-transmission link, developed with Thomas Jennewein. The university account assigns the entangled-photon source and nanofabrication work to NRC and IQC respectively, and attributes the C$1 million IDEaS funding to the university research group. This division of responsibility matters when assessing the company's own deliverable: the public evidence supports a contributor to a distributed sensing proof of concept, not sole ownership of the entire network or a completed fielded system. A separate historical DND R&D contract confirms prior Canadian procurement activity but ended in 2021.
