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.

QUANTUM + Space Public Lecture

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!

Quantum Physics and the Science of Light

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.

Une bourse Google de recherche universitaire propulse l’apprentissage automatique quantique.

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).

Pour la première fois, des chercheurs ont défini les conditions pour que des théories de la gravitation quantique soient compatibles avec l’une des prédictions capitales de la physique quantique et de la relativité : l’effet Unruh.
