We're teaming up with Social Art for a fun night of virtual painting and quantum exploration.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo is proud to announce our membership in the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 50 – 30 Challenge. The 50 – 30 Challenge is a program between the Government of Canada, businesses and diversity organizations with a goal to achieve both gender parity and increased presence of underrepresented groups on boards and in senior levels of management.
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.
Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.
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.
Photons in Space: the Next Frontier! These are the voyages of Canada's first Quantum Satellite Mission - the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). Its upcoming mission: To explore strange new physics, and enable secure communication across Canada and around the world. To seek out new discoveries and new ways to communicate... To boldly send photons where none have gone before!
Join us for casual conversations with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
For our fourth Fireside Chat, we welcome Professor David Gosset of the Institute for Quantum Computing and the University of Waterloo's Department of Combinatorics & Optimization.
David Gosset joined the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) as an Associate Professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo on August 1, 2018.
Join us for casual conversations with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
For our third Fireside Chat, we welcome Kristine Boone for a conversation about working on the boundary of research and industry.

The Dean of Science Award honours Master’s students in the Faculty of Science who demonstrate outstanding performance. We sat down with the latest winner, IQC researcher Patrick Daley from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, to learn more about his award-winning research.
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.
Le laboratoire de physique de l’information, dirigé par le professeur Achim Kempf, a obtenu l’une des bourses de recherche universitaire 2018 de Google. La physique de l’information, objet principal des travaux du laboratoire de M. Kempf, constitue un vaste domaine de recherche allant de la relativité générale à la physique quantique, en passant par la théorie de l’information et l’intelligence artificielle (IA).
