Researchers develop first source of on-demand time-bin entangled photon pairs using quantum dot
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) will open its doors to all members of the community as part of Reunion at the University of Waterloo. Bring the whole family to discover the excitement of quantum mechanics and learn about the world-class research that is happening right here in our community!
As Vern Paulsen joins the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Pure Mathematics as Professor, the Institute for Quantum Computing now collaborates with a seventh department at the University of Waterloo.
A former QCSYS student was awarded the CAP Physics Prize and Excellence Award – Senior Silver Medal at the Canada-Wide Science Fair 2015 in Fredericton, New Brunswick for a project that he did with IQC researchers.
Apply for QCSYS and discover how the physics and mathematics of quantum mechanics and cryptography merge into one of the most exciting topics in contemporary science – quantum cryptography.
The province of Ontario announced that Kyung Choi and Vadim Makarov of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) were two of the award winners.
Local MPPs Daiene Vernille and Kathryn McGarry presented announced the awards to University of Waterloo recipients this morning at Waterloo and Lin Tan, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering, made some remarks on behalf of the university.
Join us for the next Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture Series when Dr. Leo Kouwenhoven will talk about particles that are equal to their anti-particles.
WATERLOO, Ont. (Friday, April 24, 2015) —The falling apples of Newtonian physics to the amazing and counterintuitive phenomena of the quantum realm will take centre stage when the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony (KWS) and the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) present their innovative musical experiment next month.
Pushing the boundaries of research and innovation
The 5th Annual Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC) meeting brings together CERCs from across Canada to share key developments and the latest discoveries in their respective research programs.
Attend the free conference to meet with world-renowned researchers and get an overview of Canada's latest scientific achievements. Participants may attend plenary lectures, research seminars and interact with the CERC holders, researchers and students during the poster session.
In 1981, Richard Feynman proposed a device called a “quantum computer” to take advantage of the laws of quantum physics to achieve computational speed-ups over classical methods. Quantum computing promises to revolutionize how we compute.
