    Advancing quantum

    Interim Executive Director message

    It is an exciting time in quantum as research, breadth of applications, commercial activity and general awareness are accelerating together. Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are discovering and building quantum technologies that will revolutionize some of the largest industrial sectors in the world: health and medicine, natural resources, environmental monitoring, cybersecurity, electronics and telecommunications. We are working with industry to develop new ways of solving some of the most challenging problems the world is grappling with today.

    The power of quantum

    Message from the Chair of IQC's Advisory Board

    The unique principles of quantum mechanics make possible new applications, materials and transformative technologies that are simply impossible under classical rules. The pursuit of these opportunities is what led us to establish at the University of Waterloo and the other partner organizations in the Quantum Valley. It is this same pursuit that drives the growing number of outstanding researchers at IQC to continue in their research and development efforts.
