Future students

In English.

Des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) viennent de faire la démonstration d’une nouvelle méthode, dite d’étalonnage cyclique, pour évaluer l’extensibilité et comparer les capacités de divers ordinateurs quantiques.

Ces travaux ouvrent la voie vers l’établissement de normes de performance d’ordinateurs quantiques et contribuent aux efforts déployés à l’échelle mondiale pour construire un ordinateur quantique exploitable de grande taille.

Quantum Physics and the Science of Light

Dr. John Donohue is a quantum physicist and science communicator, currently acting as the Scientific Outreach Manager at the Institute for Quantum Computing and University of Waterloo. He holds a PhD in Physics and Quantum Information, and has conducted research in quantum optics in Canada and Germany. At IQC, John works to break down quantum mechanics to its essence, through classes, workshops, activities, and exhibits. John is interested in how to “count” light by measuring photons, the individual and indivisible particles that make it up.
