This is the seventh of the Intellectual Property (IP) Management Lunch and Learn Lecture Series. We are bringing in thought leaders in the protection and management of intellectual property, including many years of experience in relevant areas of information technology.

This session will be led by Tom Hunter.

Come play in The Quantum Mechanics Golf Tournament and join the fight against cancer

The Quantum Mechanics are asking for your support in the fight against cancer.

The team, made of University of Waterloo, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and Perimeter Institute members, is participating in the Grand Ride in honour of Pearl Sullivan, Dean of Engineering and Raymond Laflamme, Executive Director of IQC at the University of Waterloo and all those in our communities who have been touched by cancer.

WIN/IQC Joint Distinguished Lecture

Philip Kim is an experimental condensed matter physicist. The focus of Kim’s group’s research is the mesoscopic investigation of various physical phenomena in low dimensional and nanostructured materials.

Hear Raymond Laflamme, founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing and John von Neumann Chair in Quantum Information and Edwin Outwater, Music Director Laureate of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, as they have a conversation about the making of Does God Play Dice (Quantum Etude).

Radio host Mike Farwell will moderate this conversation about their collaboration that integrated quantum physics and music to create a surprisingly random performance piece. You’ll even have the to watch highlights of the April 20 performance.

The toric code is a topological quantum error correcting code, and an example of a stabilizer code, defined on a two-dimensional spin lattice. It also represents the simplest example of topological order -- Z2 topological order that was first studied in the context of Z2 spin liquid. I will talk about our recent progress in the search for a toric code topological order in the kagome antiferromagnetic spin system.

Join us at the Research Advancement Centre 2 Open House

RAC 2 Open House
Friday, December 8

Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) invites the University of Waterloo community to explore the Research Advancement Centre 2 (RAC 2) building and see first-hand where groundbreaking research in quantum information and science technology happens.

“He who is good with a hammer thinks everything is a nail.”

- Modified quote from the original by Abraham Maslow

How does one sell security? How does one commercialize such nebulous concepts such as “Trust”, “Security” and “Cryptography”?  Cryptography, which is just one building block of security, is based on other more abstract building blocks such as algorithms which have a foundation on hard mathematical problems.
