Quantum Innovators is a five-day workshop offered by the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) since 2012 bringing the most promising postdoctoral fellows in quantum information science and technology together.

IQC Seminar featuring Michael Wilke, McGill University

The pioneering experiments by Hanbury and Twiss are considered by many as the beginnings of experimental quantum optics. These experiments are now particularly relevant in the context of quantum photonics and the characterization of single photon sources.

From Laser Cooling to Quantum Chemistry

Lasers are used in factories for burning through metal and in movies for blowing up space ships. But in the lab, we use them to cool atoms down to within one billionth of a degree of absolute zero.

Joel Wallman, University of Waterloo

Significant global efforts are currently underway to build quantum computers. The two main goals for near-term quantum computers are finding and solving interesting problems in the presence of noise and developing techniques to mitigate errors. In this talk, I will outline and motivate an abstraction layer needed to reliably operate quantum computers under realistic noise models, namely, a cycle consisting of all the primitive gates applied to a quantum computer within a specified time period.
