Razieh Annabestani of the Department of Physics and Astronomy is defending his thesis:
Collective Dynamics in NMR and Quantum Noise
Razieh is supervised by Professor David Cory.
Come get your nerd on and learn about the world of physics with Nerd Nite KW! They will take you through quantum 101, and then see if you were paying attention with some friendly rounds of trivia. Aspiring scientists and experts alike are welcome. Special guest speaker Dr. Shohini Ghose, an Associate Professor of Physics and Computer Science and Director of the Centre for Women in Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, will also be giving a presentation. Make sure to also check out QUANTUM: The Exhibition while you're there.
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.
Van Dam and Hayden introduced the concept of approximate embezzlement of entanglement. Even if one allows infinite dimensional resource spaces but requires a bipartite tensor product structure of the resource space, perfect embezzlement is still impossible. But in the commuting operator framework perfect embezzlement is possible. We then introduce unitary correlation sets and relate these ideas to the conjectures of Connes and Tsirelson.
Much of what we understand about the world comes from our eyes, which sense the colors from red to violet that are expressed in the rainbow.
Vincent Russo of the Department of Computer Science is defending his thesis:
Extended nonlocal games
Vincent is supervised by IQC faculty members John Watrous and Michele Mosca.
Join us for a night of film and science. The Institute for Quantum Computing has partnered with the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore to host a festival for quantum-inspired films. The screening of the top 10 short films will be followed by a lecture by Senior Manager, Scientific Outreach, Martin Laforest about the applications of quantum devices. He will delve into what we know quantum devices will be used for (that will affect everyone) and where researchers are hoping they will be used in the future.
Joachim Nsofini of the Department of Physics and Astronomy is defending his thesis:
Quantum Information Enabled Neutron Interferometry
Joachim is supervised by IQC faculty member David Cory.
The Women in Physics Canada (WIPC) conference, hosted by the University of Waterloo, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Institute for Quantum Computing, will bring together early career scientists to present their research and hear plenary talks from leaders in physics.
We welcome attendance by people of all genders.
