Research Excellence

A drive for excellence and innovation

Ultra-powerful computers, unbreakable cryptography, quantum devices, new materials and nanotechnologies of unprecedented efficiences are some of the discoveries being pioneered at the Institute for Quantum Computing.

On the path to building a quantum computer

Experimental research doesn’t always lead to quick results, but it does give us a glimpse into what future applications developing quantum technologies might lead to.

A passion for discovery

When faced with a fork in the road, NA YOUNG KIM takes the road less travelled. While it may hold more obstacles and challenges than a well-worn path, it’s also sure to be filled with adventure and discovery – the driving factor behind Kim’s research.

Quantum rules

At the quantum level, the principles of superposition, uncertainty and entanglement take over. Harnessing the game-changing power of quantum mechanics opens up new possibilities for building quantum technologies.

Qubit by qubit

The task of building a quantum computer combines the exploration of fundamental physics with the challenge of engineering new technologies. It’s the perfect scientific mix for researcher MATTEO MARIANTONI, also a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Transformative Quantum Technologies

From laboratory curiosity to impactful devices

Continually pushing the boundaries of quantum research leads to new theoretical perspectives, proposed experiments and practical technologies.
