Nord Quantique

Nord Quantique is a pioneering quantum error correction company founded in 2020 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, that develops fault-tolerant quantum computers using bosonic codes and multimode encoding with their breakthrough Tesseract code, exploiting the natural redundancy of photons within quantum modes to achieve built-in error resilience without requiring more physical qubits, demonstrating industry-first quantum error correction at the qubit level with plans to deliver utility-scale machines exceeding 100 logical qubits by 2029 while consuming dramatically less energy than classical HPC systems.

November 2025: Selected for DARPA Stage B of Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (up to $15M funding) for superconducting technology with bosonic error correction, advancing toward utility-scale quantum computing by 2033.

2025 Developments: In February 2025, Government of Canada invested $8.1 million in Sherbrooke's quantum sector including Nord Quantique. Funding enabled acquisition of dilution refrigerators and quantum control electronics. In May 2025, announced multimode quantum encoding technology that cuts qubit count and boosts error correction. Secured supply chain for quantum chip manufacturing.
