De récentes recherches montrent que les scientifiques peuvent maintenant exploiter une théorie fondamentale qui étend la portée de la mécanique quantique pour mettre au point des protocoles de communication.
Trois des centres canadiens de recherche les plus reconnus dans les domaines de l’information et des matériaux quantiques collaborent dans cinq nouveaux projets conjoints. Ces trois centres ont tous reçus du financement du Fonds d’excellence en recherche Apogée Canada (FERAC).
Quantum computers will now have help tackling the central problem in their performance – noise.
Christine Muschik, assistant professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, has been selected as a 2020-2022 CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar.
Join us for an intimate conversation featuring IQC researchers. Our first guest is Professor Raymond Laflamme, interviewed by John Donohue. John and Raymond will have a conversation about research, careers, and life in quantum information science, followed by Q&A from the audience. Tune in Tuesday August 11 at 7:00pm Eastern Time.
New research shows that limited near-term quantum computers may be more powerful than they seem when solving a problem that is impossible for comparable classical computers.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) is saddened by the loss of Tom Brzustowksi. He was a great supporter of the institute having served on our Advisory Board since 2006, including as chair from 2006-2014.
An experiment that began by testing the properties of quantum entanglement has led to the discovery of a new diagnostic tool that could help optometrists detect macular degeneration much earlier than was previously possible.
“In the future, I don’t think this is going to be replaced with a quantum computer,” said Rajibul Islam, faculty member at IQC and the Department of Physics and Astronomy, as he pointed towards his desktop computer.
Standard measurement units like the meter and the kilogram used to be defined by physical objects, such as a prototype bar and a platinum cylinder. As of May 2019, all measurement units are now defined by the cesium atom and the fundamental constants of the universe.
