Performance Testing and Validation Services

The contract requires the performance of pre-delivery validation testing to ensure that quantum optical systems meet stringent technical specifications, including output power of at least 4 milliwatts, squeezed light levels of no less than 3.5 decibels under a loss condition of 10 percent or less, and precise wavelength fidelity at both 780 nanometers and 1560 nanometers. These tests must be executed using specialized quantum optics measurement systems to verify system performance prior to delivery, ensuring compliance with critical quantum technology benchmarks. The work is to be conducted within the National Capital Region, aligning with the requirements of the National Research Council of Canada, a federal agency under the Government of Canada. Responses must be submitted by July 12, 2026, and the activity is categorized as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, which pertains to other scientific research and development services.
