We are proud to announce that Prof. Soumaya Cherkaoui, head of the Lincs Lab, has received a major research grant from NSERC’s Alliance program, amounting to more than $949,500 over three years. The funding is awarded as part of the National Quantum Strategy‘s initiative to strengthen Canada’s research, innovation and talent development in quantum science and technology, particularly in improving the allocation of resources on wireless networks.
Prof. Cherkaoui’s work will focus on leveraging quantum computing optimization algorithms to inhance the integration of higher-frequency bands while using spectrum and energy optimally despite increased user density and the need for minimal latency applications. 
The results of this project could also prove to be highly valuable for the near-term practical application of quantum computing in many fields, extending its impact far beyond wireless networks.
