Il y a constamment autour de nous — et même en nous — des champs magnétiques souvent utiles dans des dispositifs technologiques sur lesquels nous comptons, tels que les disques rigides, les appareils d’IRM et les centrales électriques.
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.
Magnetic fields are all around us – and even in us – all the time, and they often prove useful in technologies we rely on, like hard drives, MRI scanners and the power plants that provide us with electricity.
The best clocks in the world can keep time so accurately that they only lose a second in millions or even billions of years. Yet researchers are still fervently pursuing even better clocks.
Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have demonstrated a new method, called cycle benchmarking, to assess scalability and compare capabilities of different quantum computer platforms.
Additional resources help enable researchers to capitalize on a research opportunity or a bold idea.
The Quantum Innovators in Computer Science and Mathematics workshop brings together promising researchers working on theoretical aspects of quantum information and computation in computer science and mathematics.
Talks are open for anyone to attend.
Michele Mosca, professeur à l’IQC et titulaire d’une chaire de recherche de l’Université de Waterloo, a prononcé hier soir la plus récente conférence de la série Entangled (Intrication) sur le thème de la physique quantique et de la sécurité.
The one-day workshop is the third in a series that brings together researchers at Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale (IRIF), Université Paris-Diderot and the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo. It will feature a full day of talks on recent progress in quantum algorithms and complexity theory, and related areas, made by members of the two institutions, with the idea to foster collaboration.
IQC faculty member and University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo Michele Mosca delivered the latest entry in Entangled: The Series last night with QUANTUM + security.
