Keysight Technologies has entered into a five‑year Master Research Collaboration Agreement with Singapore’s premier quantum research institutions, including the National University of Singapore, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The partnership focuses on advancing qubit design and control, and on developing integrated quantum‑classical systems that could accelerate the commercialization of quantum processors and secure quantum communication networks.
The collaboration leverages Keysight’s precision measurement and control expertise, complementing its strengths in high‑speed optical networking and AI infrastructure. By partnering with Singapore’s leading research community, Keysight positions itself at the forefront of quantum technology, a field that aligns with its long‑term strategy to diversify beyond traditional test and measurement.
Keysight’s relationship with Singapore’s quantum ecosystem began with a memorandum of understanding in 2022 with the Quantum Engineering Programme. The new agreement expands that collaboration, deepening joint research and development efforts and reinforcing the company’s commitment to quantum innovation.
While the agreement does not disclose specific financial commitments, it signals a strategic investment in quantum hardware and software. The partnership could open new revenue streams and accelerate the transition of quantum research into commercial products, supporting Keysight’s broader growth objectives.
Dr. Eric T. Holland, General Manager of Keysight Quantum Engineering Solutions, said, "Singapore’s proactive leadership in emerging technologies sets a strong foundation, and the advancement of quantum computing to maturity depends on long‑term partnerships that embrace calculated risks to drive breakthrough innovations."
Singapore’s national quantum strategy emphasizes scientific excellence, engineering capabilities, talent development, and industry partnerships. The collaboration strengthens Singapore’s position as a global quantum technology hub and aligns with the country’s goal of fostering a vibrant quantum ecosystem.
The agreement marks a significant step for Keysight as it expands into quantum technology, potentially reshaping its product portfolio and revenue mix while reinforcing its leadership in precision measurement and control.
