International

En français

On February 11, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and its partners worldwide will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Each year we look at IQC’s role in what we at IQC are doing to inspire more girls and women to study and work in STEM and quantum information. And although the needle is moving, we still have a lot more work to do.

Tuesday, April 20, 2021 7:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

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.

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.

Fireside Chat

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

Chris Ferrie - Tuesday, December 15, 7:00 p.m.

We welcome Chris Ferrie of the University of Technology Sydney and Centre for Quantum Software and Information for our fifth Fireside Chat. Ferrie received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from IQC in 2012.

Advanced simulations may one day be able to help us explore new frontiers in atomic physics, build new materials and discover new drugs. But first, researchers must find the best ways to control these simulations. New research featured on the cover of Nature Machine Intelligence explores machine learning as a method for achieving optimal control.
