Due to the APS March Meeting being canceled, IQC has scheduled a mini-symposium for University of Waterloo students to give their accepted talks.
Talks are open for all to attend.
How can two parties carry out a fair coin flip across a noiseless quantum channel? In 2007, Carlos Mochon proved a tantalizing result: he showed that fair quantum coin flipping is possible in principle, but he used a protocol that required a huge (exponential) number of communication rounds. In the twelve years since, despite some continued deep theoretical work on the problem, no improvements to the efficiency of Mochon's protocol have been made.
Join us for an intimate conversation featuring IQC researchers. Our first guest is Professor Raymond Laflamme, interviewed by John Donohue. John and Raymond will have a conversation about research, careers, and life in quantum information science, followed by Q&A from the audience. Tune in Tuesday August 11 at 7:00pm Eastern Time.
Join us for casual conversations with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
This month, we welcome PhD student Shayan Majidy for a conversation about life as a graduate student, and what it's like to share quantum and science with a young audience.
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.
Join us for casual conversations with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
For our third Fireside Chat, we welcome Kristine Boone for a conversation about working on the boundary of research and industry.
Tune in live on YouTube.
Photons in Space: the Next Frontier! These are the voyages of Canada's first Quantum Satellite Mission - the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). Its upcoming mission: To explore strange new physics, and enable secure communication across Canada and around the world. To seek out new discoveries and new ways to communicate... To boldly send photons where none have gone before!
Join us for casual conversations with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
For our fourth Fireside Chat, we welcome Professor David Gosset of the Institute for Quantum Computing and the University of Waterloo's Department of Combinatorics & Optimization.
David Gosset joined the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) as an Associate Professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo on August 1, 2018.
Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.
We welcome Chris Ferrie of the University of Technology Sydney and Centre for Quantum Software and Information for our fifth Fireside Chat. Ferrie received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from IQC in 2012.
Please join us for the first virtual seminar of 2021 on Thursday, January 14th at 11:00 am.
