SemiQon has formed a strategic partnership with Nanoacademic Technologies Inc., a Canadian company known for its advanced quantum and atomistic modeling tools. The partnership will give universities and research groups access to a bundled solution combining SemiQon’s reliable and affordable silicon quantum dot devices with Nanoacademic Technologies’ digital simulation tools for semiconductors and superconducting-based quantum hardware.  

Nanoacademic Technologies’ flagship platform, QTCAD®, is the world’s first commercial finite-element modeling software designed specifically for spin qubits in semiconductors. SemiQon’s SemiQit equips universities and research groups with ready-to-use spin-qubit chips, enabling faster experimentation, discovery, and even commercial RDI.  Through this collaboration, SemiQon will offer QTCAD® and its educational version QTCAD® EDU alongside the SemiQit. This bundled offering is designed to support universities and research groups working on the next generation of silicon spin qubit technologies.

A shared vision for scalable quantum tech

The advancement of scalable quantum devices requires ambitious research that depends on access to cutting-edge hardware and precise, predictive modeling.

“Many researchers lack access to commercial-grade simulation tools tailored for spin qubit systems. QTCAD® fills this critical need, enabling scientists to simulate key figures of merit of quantum systems in realistic semiconductor environments using state-of-the-art quantum models, adaptive meshing algorithms, and atomistic simulation methods. This capability helps reduce trial-and-error in the lab and accelerates the path from concept to experiment,” explains Félix Beaudoin, the CEO of Nanoacademic.

“Together, we’re not just advancing silicon spin qubit research —  we are building a foundation for scalable, accessible, and impactful quantum technologies worldwide,” comments Yukihisa Tsuruta, Business Development Director at SemiQon.

This partnership also supports the next generation of quantum talent. With QTCAD® EDU, students gain hands-on experience with industry-grade tools, preparing them for careers in quantum technology.

Researchers benefit from a streamlined workflow—combining simulation, design, and experimentation on SemiQon’s chips in one integrated package. Institutions gain access to a scalable, future-proof platform for quantum research.

The combined offering will be available to quantum researchers from both public and private organizations from Q3 2025.
