Impact reportCooking up quantum
A new style of computing
If bits of information are ingredients, then algorithms are the recipes a computer uses to cook a dish—and quantum computing is a new style of cooking. It is the only model of computation truly distinct from the classical computers we use today. A quantum computer doesn’t just run through classical recipes faster; it uses different recipes altogether. There is still uncertainty around quantum, but what is known is that quantum computing will tackle some important problems with unprecedented power.

For the quantum age
Imagine if we could remove pollution from the atmosphere, or design drugs targeted for more effective treatment against disease? Poised to revolutionize society, quantum technologies may help us overcome these and other research challenges—and IQC and Department of Physics and Astronomy PhD student Kristine Boone is helping to pave the way.

Simulating quantum systems
If you want to understand planetary motion, you build a computer simulation that models our solar system. If you want to understand the behaviour of a many-body system with quantum phenomena like entanglement, you need quantum simulation.
