IQC postdoctoral fellow Chris Herdman led a demonstration of area law scaling of entanglement entropy in a real quantum fluid for the first time.
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program has awarded more than $11 million to the University of Waterloo which includes $1.7 million to an affiliate of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
Join us at the Institute for Quantum Computing for a two-week introduction to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information processing.
Challenges to protecting information and systems from the massive processing power of quantum computers will be the focus of a workshop that the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing will co-host in Toronto next week.
The technology industry is now facing a Y2Q — years to quantum — challenge. The current deadline is estimated to be 10 years. All security dependent on existing standards is vulnerable.
Jean-Philippe MacLean is in Germany discussing quantum science at the prestigious 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.
Faculty, associates and affiliates of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) collected 10 awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) on Thursday, June 23.
Theorists from Perimeter and experimentalists from the Institute for Quantum Computing have found a new way to test whether the universe is quantum, a test that will have widespread applicability: they’ve proven the failure of noncontextuality in the lab.
What does it mean to say the world is quantum? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer, and most casual discussions on the point are heavy on the hand-waving, with references to cats in boxes.
WATERLOO, Ont. (Friday, May 20, 2016) – What once took months by some of the world’s leading scientists can now be done in seconds by undergraduate students thanks to software developed at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), paving the way for fast, secure quantum communication.
Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo developed the first available software to evaluate the security of any protocol for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
AMSTERDAM: Europe’s top researchers, government and industry leaders gathered today at the Quantum Europe 2016 conference in Amsterdam to discuss a comprehensive strategy for quantum technology development and commercialization.
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded Thomas Jennewein an $182,000 grant to train and develop Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) graduate students through participation in an international space satellite project.
