Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo in Canada have directly entangled three photons in the most technologically useful state for the first time, thanks in part to superfast, super-efficient single-photon detectors developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

A masters and a PhD student at the Institute for Quantum Computing have each received thesis honours at the 2014 University of Waterloo convocation.

The Institute for Quantum Computing presented five students with awards for excellent research and outreach activity.
