Future students

Travaillant sous la direction du professeur Michael Reimer, des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) ont mis au point un nouveau capteur quantique ayant recours à des nanofils semiconducteurs qui peuvent détecter rapidement et efficacement des particules individuelles de lumière sur une gamme sans précédent de longueurs d’onde allant de l’ultraviolet à l’infrarouge proche.

Three of Canada’s most recognized centres in quantum information and materials research are collaborating on five new joint research projects. The three centres are all recipients of funding from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF).

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), led by faculty member Michael Reimer, have developed a new quantum sensor based on semiconductor nanowires that can detect single particles of light with high speed, timing resolution and efficiency over an unparalleled wavelength range, from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

Silicon MOSFET quantum dots with simplified metal-gate geometry

Eduardo Barrera

Silicon (Si) CMOS spin qubits have become a promising platform for a future quantum information processor due to recent demonstrations of high fidelity single and two qubit gates [Veldhorst et. al., Nature 526.7573 (2015)], compatibility with industrial CMOS process and promising prospects for scalability.

Ultracold Molecules: From Quantum Chemistry to Quantum Computing

Alan Jamison, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Cooling atomic gases to quantum degeneracy opened the new field of quantum simulation. Here the precise tools of atomic physics can be used to study exotic models from condensed matter or nuclear physics with unique tunability and control. Ultracold molecules bring many new possibilities to quantum simulation. I will review the physics of ultracold molecules, including our recent production of stable, ultracold triplet molecules and what they can add to quantum simulation.
