Future graduate students

Written by award-winning Canadian playwright, Kat Sandler, we meet a mother and daughter on the verge of total breakdown. The other member of the household is the daughter's imaginary friend she’s had forever. We also meet a boyfriend, and a couple of other wildly extraordinary folk who arrive with a crucial job to do.

Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.

The KW Scavenger Hunt in Uptown Waterloo is happening on Saturday April 23rd from 10:30am-5:30pm. We have over 10 local businesses participating and cannot wait for everyone to join us on April 23rd. Each business participating has graciously donated discounts to be used on the day of.


Tickets for 2 people each can be purchased at www.kwscavengerhunt.net and part of the proceeds go to local Canadian Charity Partners with Paws to help pay for training for much needed service dogs.

This month, IQC PhD students Andrew Cameron and Connor Kapahi will discuss their recent collaboration, in which they use hybrid quantum entanglement to remotely control the shape and structure of a single photon. Learn more about quantum optics and structured light in this conversation moderated by John Donohue.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxUW, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxUW, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Our theme this year is 2020 Vision.

In the Decolonizing Methodologies for Sustainability Research Speaker Series, researchers from across Canada and the globe share their unique approaches to decolonizing research, and how they conduct research that is inclusive, mindful of local cultural practices, and sensitive to diverse research contexts.
