An IQC faculty member and researcher in the Department of Pure Mathematics is among the latest winners of a University Research Chair.
William Slofstra, an assistant professor of pure mathematics and a faculty member with the Institute for Quantum Computing, works in the field of mathematics of quantum information and computation.
Communication networks are an essential part of our world today, used in transactions from banking to education, global business exchanges to defence. What happens when our private information is no longer private? Powerful quantum computers will have the ability to crack the encryption of public keys that we currently use to secure our data, putting our privacy at risk.
In celebration of World Quantum Day, join IQC's Senior Manager of Scientific Outreach, John Donohue, for some fun light experiments with Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants.
Join alum Guanru Feng as she shares her career journey and talks about current research.
Guanru Feng is an Applied Scientist at SpinQ Technology, a quantum computing hardware and software company, where she focuses on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) desktop quantum computing platforms and superconducting qubit systems.
Quantum sensors allow us to measure with incredible accuracy, precision and selectivity. Future quantum devices that achieve these ultimate sensing qualities by harnessing the complexities of atoms, photons and semiconductors will play a critical role in improving applications such as medical technology, radar, geological exploration, molecular imaging and more.
Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC associate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.
In partnership with the Kitchener Public Library, join John Donohue for a conversation with author and researcher Chad Orzel. They'll be talking about Orzel's latest book, A Brief History of Timekeeping.
About the book:
Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
