QKD Summer School 2011
The five-day program consisting of lectures and tutorials focuses on theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum communication especially quantum cryptography.
We invite applications to "Women in Physics Canada", a three-day conference which will take place from Tuesday, July 19 to Thursday, July 21, 2011 jointly at Perimeter Institute and the Institute for Quantum Computing, Waterloo, Ontario. This conference, aimed at undergraduates and early graduates, is intended to provide support to young women in physics, and to encourage them to continue in a career in physics.

We will demonstrate a tool for visually constructing and simulating quantum circuits. The tool is a work in progress, and we are looking for feedback from the community on what features would be useful for their research.
Grégoire Ribordy, id Quantique
In the spirit of the Quantum Entrepreneurship lecture series, Dr. Ribordy will discuss his experience with going from idea to market, the difficulties and challenges he faced in doing so, and what the future holds for quantum cryptography.
