Join us for Quantum Connections May 1-2, 2024. This year we’re highlighting Quantum Perspectives: the impacts and outlooks driving our future.
University of Waterloo researchers combine Nobel prize winning concepts to achieve scientific breakthrough.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have brought together two Nobel prize winning research concepts to advance the field of quantum communication.
Researchers from IQC, MIT, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a technique for better identification and control of microscopic defects in diamond, as detailed in PRX Quantum, paving the way for the creation of larger qubit systems for enhanced quantum sensing. This breakthrough, led by Alexandre Cooper-Roy, represents a significant advancement in quantum sensing, offering potential revolutionary impacts across various industries and scientific fields.
Using laser light, researchers have developed the most robust method currently known to control individual qubits made of the chemical element barium. The ability to reliably control a qubit is an important achievement for realizing future functional quantum computers.
Waterloo professor Michele Mosca shares best practices for using quantum to safeguard important data.
A new study published today in Nature is changing our understanding of chemical reactions and overturning previous theoretical models by finding an unexpected resonance frequency during the reaction of two molecules.
The Quantum Horizons: Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research and Innovation for Nuclear Science award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Physics has enabled a new collaboration between researchers who develop technologies for nuclear physics, quantum information science and high-energy physics.
Dr. Raymond Laflamme, founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo, has been named Chair of the National Quantum Strategy’s (NQS) Quantum Advisory Council. The announcement was made today by the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. Laflamme will work in close collaboration with fellow Chair Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Chief Quantum Officer of Photonic and IQC affiliate.
A new imaging technique using quantum science may lead to novel drug therapies and treatment options, a recent study has found.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) congratulates Alain Aspect, John F Clauser and Anton Zeilinger who have been awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics.
