The Government of Ontario announced Michal Bajcsy, Guo-Xing Miao, Michael Reimer and Na Young Kim, all faculty members at the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, as winners of Early Researcher Awards.
IQC faculty member Michael Reimer was part of an international team that achieved the first violation of Bell’s inequality in a photonic nanostructure with enhanced light extraction efficiency.
The 5th European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)/Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Workshop will take place in London (UK) on 13 – 15 September 2017.
It will start with a special Executive Track on 13 September and will be followed by an in depth technical track on 14-15 September 2017, on which ETSI is currently calling for presentations and poster session.
Vincent Russo of the Department of Computer Science is defending his thesis:
Extended nonlocal games
Vincent is supervised by IQC faculty members John Watrous and Michele Mosca.
Join us for a night of film and science. The Institute for Quantum Computing has partnered with the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore to host a festival for quantum-inspired films. The screening of the top 10 short films will be followed by a lecture by Senior Manager, Scientific Outreach, Martin Laforest about the applications of quantum devices. He will delve into what we know quantum devices will be used for (that will affect everyone) and where researchers are hoping they will be used in the future.
Guillaume Verdon-Akzam of the Department of Applied Mathematics is defending his thesis:
Probing Quantum Fields: Measurements and Quantum Energy Teleportation
