The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) will open its doors to all members of the community as part of Reunion at the University of Waterloo. Bring the whole family to discover the excitement of quantum mechanics and learn about the world-class research that is happening right here in our community!

Take a look at what's happening at this year's open house!

The Quantum Innovators workshop brings together the most promising young researchers in quantum physics and engineering. Guests are invited for a four-day workshop aimed at exploring the frontier of our field.

Join us for two days at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) for the Teaching Quantum Technology workshop (TQT) December 5-6. You will have the opportunity to attend lectures and engage in hands-on activities focused on the integration of quantum technology into the current teaching curriculum. We will discuss quantum information science and technology to give you a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.

The Relativistic Quantum Information North (RQI-N) Conference, hosted by the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), will bring together an interdisciplinary community of researchers at the interface of quantum information science and relativity.

Public lecture by Bill Unruh, The University of British Columbia

On February 11, 2016 it was announced that gravitational  waves have been detected affecting an instrument on earth. In addition to the realization of a 100 year old prediction the astounding sensitivity of the detector demanded the approaching and overcoming of seemingly fundamental quantum limits on measuring the motion of 25Kg masses. Quantum mechanics is usually thought of applying only to the very small (zeptogrammes and nanometers).

The Quantum Innovators workshop brings together the most promising young researchers in quantum physics and engineering. Guests are invited for a four-day workshop aimed at exploring the frontier of our field.

Join us at the Institute for Quantum Computing for a two-week introduction to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information processing.

The 5th European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)/Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Workshop will take place in London (UK) on 13 – 15 September 2017.

It will start with a special Executive Track on 13 September and will be followed by an in depth technical track on 14-15 September 2017, on which ETSI is currently calling for presentations and poster session.
