Data status: August 11, 2026. The Canadian Quantum Intelligence Landscape combines observed third-party data with analytical model outputs. Observed statistics are identified separately from modelled estimates, readiness indices and scenarios.
Observed data
The national 19.2% business AI-use figure and selected national sector values are adapted from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Survey on Business Conditions, Second Quarter 2026. Nova Scotia’s identified provincial AI-use figure is presented as observed where the source is identified. Other provincial and territorial AI-use values are modelled estimates unless expressly labelled otherwise.
Modelled outputs
Province and territory estimates, governance readiness, quantum readiness, composite values and unobserved sector scenarios are Canadian Quantum™ analytical outputs. They are designed for comparative research and should not be interpreted as official government statistics, audited ratings, certifications, accreditations or regulatory determinations.
Benchmark and rank interpretation
Jurisdiction rank is determined by the active metric selected in the interface. Benchmark position reflects the composite metric; AI Adoption rank reflects the AI-adoption metric; Governance Readiness rank and Quantum Readiness rank reflect their selected readiness measures. Jurisdiction-level results describe ecosystem indicators and do not constitute evaluations or performance ratings of provincial or territorial governments, ministries, agencies or public institutions.
Model confidence
Confidence classifications reflect source coverage, recency, geographic specificity and consistency of available evidence. They are qualitative analytical classifications and are not statistical confidence intervals, margins of error or measures of statistical significance.
