The Super Hub provides businesses, governments and researchers with access to the company's Super platform – a natural-language-based platform similar to ChatGPT equipped with quantum, artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing capabilities – as well as experts on hand, to guide the adoption of quantum data processing across industries.
The company set up shop in Lethbridge driven by the city's role at the centre of Alberta's contributions to technological innovation, including 'a proven track record of pioneering AI, blockchain and IoT programs catering to industry needs,' according to Monday's news release, while serving as 'a convergence point of Canada's Premiere Food Corridor and Western Gateway that comprise major manufacturing and supply chain activities.'
The initial response to the Super Hub has been encouraging, with ongoing participation from 'business executives, innovation leaders, economic developers and scientists' placing quantum computing in the service of real-world problem solving.
SuperQ intends to build upon this momentum with a global network of Super Hubs, including locations in the United States, Europe, India and the United Arab Emirates, with approximately 20 locations planned over the next six-to-eight months, according to an article from My Lethbridge Now.

'Quantum and supercomputing isn't a future promise – it's delivering ROI today,' Muhammad Khan, SuperQ Quantum Computing's chair and chief executive officer, said in a statement. 'Our Super platform is the ChatGPT for this industry, empowering businesses to harness quantum advantage without needing specialized training. We are thrilled to partner with Economic Development Lethbridge to make quantum and supercomputing accessible to every business and individual in Alberta and beyond.'
'Alberta tech is booming. From Lethbridge and Medicine Hat to Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. The Quantum Hub is especially relevant for industries with complex decision-making like agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, finance and post-secondary or STEM education, offering hands-on exposure to emerging technology,' commented Nate Glubish, Alberta's Minister of Technology and Innovation.
'Lethbridge is now home to the world's first Quantum Super Hub, giving local companies a competitive edge by unlocking powerful computing capabilities that were previously accessible only to large tech centers or research labs,' added Renae Barlow, vice president of entrepreneurship and innovation at Economic Development Lethbridge.
