Communication networks are an essential part of our world today, used in transactions from banking to education, global business exchanges to defence. What happens when our private information is no longer private? Powerful quantum computers will have the ability to crack the encryption of public keys that we currently use to secure our data, putting our privacy at risk.
Join alum Robin Kothari as he shares his career journey and talks about current research.
Event update: This event will be offered virtually.
The National Research Council of Canada is developing a new challenge program for Applied Quantum Computing. Phil Kaye, Program Director, will provide an overview of the program and share more information about how to get involved.
In celebration of World Quantum Day, join IQC's Senior Manager of Scientific Outreach, John Donohue, for some fun light experiments with Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants.
Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.
April 14 is World Quantum Day! Join Qubit by Qubit for a lunch-time event, Inclusive Quantum Future.
Spend the lunch hour with Qubit by Qubit considering how to ensure the future of QIST is diverse. Hear from a moderated panel of quantum experts about their personal experiences and insights into DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in the field, including panelists such as Joan Étude Arrow, Master's student at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and Clarice Aiello from UCLA's Center for Quantum Science and Engineering.
Quantum sensors allow us to measure with incredible accuracy, precision and selectivity. Future quantum devices that achieve these ultimate sensing qualities by harnessing the complexities of atoms, photons and semiconductors will play a critical role in improving applications such as medical technology, radar, geological exploration, molecular imaging and more.
Join alum Guanru Feng as she shares her career journey and talks about current research.
Guanru Feng is an Applied Scientist at SpinQ Technology, a quantum computing hardware and software company, where she focuses on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) desktop quantum computing platforms and superconducting qubit systems.
Protection of quantum information is a central challenge in building a quantum computer. Quantum error-correcting codes can correct for logical errors that occur in the system. A particularly well-studied category is stabilizer codes, such as the 9-qubit Shor code, as these are the quantum analogue of classical additive codes. Qudits (particles with local-dimension greater than 2) have more computational basis states per particle than qubits and retain this feature in stabilizer codes.

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC associate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.
