A Google Faculty Research Award propels quantum machine learning forward.

The Physics of Information lab, led by Professor Achim Kempf, was awarded one of the 2018 Google Faculty Research Awards. Kempf’s lab focuses on the physics of information, a wide research field that ranges from general relativity and quantum theory to information theory and artificial intelligence (AI).

An experiment has discovered that perfect entanglement with a quantum dot is possible – with the right photodetector. Faster detectors with ultra-low timing jitter and dark counts may soon pave the way to practical entanglement applications.

When senior citizens use online banking apps to pay their bills, you know the world has gone digital. Thomas Jennewein, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) member and professor in Waterloo’s department of Physics and Astronomy, has been watching digital communication, like banking, become mainstream. And he’s worried about it. 

The future is quantum, and it needs to be “perfect” if we are going to trust our security and data with it.

The Quantum Shorts film festival is delighted to announce its three top prize winners, selected from a shortlist of ten incredible short films inspired by quantum physics. The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), is a scientific partner of the festival.

Angela Mondou, author, entrepreneur and founder of ICE Leadership Inc., shared her insight into technology commercialization at the CryptoWorks21 Distinguished Lecture March 12.

Lindsay Babcock, Katanya Kuntz, Sebastian Slaman, et Ramy Tannous du Laboratoire de photonique quantique, sous la direction de Thomas Jennewein, chercheur à l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC), ont conçu et réalisé une démonstration portable de distribution quantique de clés (DQC). L’appareil de démonstration faisait appel à des composantes conçues par Excelitas Technologies, partenaire industriel qui fournit des systèmes personnalisés d’optoélectronique et d’électronique avancée.
