Fireside Chat with Alan Jamison

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

Alan Jamison, Assistant Professor at IQC and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, joins us for our next virtual Fireside Chat. We’ll talk about working under a Nobel laureate, teaching online before it was cool, and how to chill a molecule to nearly absolute zero.

Fireside Chat with Thomas McConkey

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

What makes a superconducting qubit tick? How does experience in a research lab prepare you for working on major projects after graduation? 
We’ll talk about these topics and more with IQC alumnus Thomas McConkey, now a Microwave Design Engineer at IBM Q, at the next virtual fireside chat.

In English

Le prix d’excellence de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) est remis à une personne qui fait des études supérieures en informatique quantique à l’Université de Waterloo et qui s’est distinguée par son excellence en recherche. Dernier lauréat en date, Michal Kononenko nous a parlé de ses recherches de maîtrise, de la pertinence de l’informatique quantique et des conseils qu’il donne à ceux qui songent à étudier dans ce domaine.

In English

Des simulations avancées pourraient un jour nous aider à explorer de nouveaux territoires en physique atomique, à élaborer de nouveaux matériaux et à découvrir de nouveaux médicaments. Mais les chercheurs doivent d’abord trouver les meilleurs moyens de contrôler ces simulations. De nouvelles recherches, qui ont fait la couverture de la revue Nature Machine Intelligence, abordent l’apprentissage automatique comme moyen de réaliser un contrôle optimal.
