Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing
From invisibility cloaks to teleportation, Harry Potter’s world is filled with mystery and wonder. Yet this magical world is not so different from the world we inhabit. Just beneath the surface of our ordinary lives is a strange quantum reality.
An exciting week long program offered to Canadian students in grades 10 to 12.
Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing
A two-week program on the theory and experimental study of quantum information processors aimed primarily at students just completing their junior year. The program is designed to introduce students to the field of quantum information processing. The lectures are geared to students of engineering, physics, chemistry and math, though all interested students are invited to apply. The program has space for 20 students.
An exciting week-long program offered to students in grades 11 to 12.
The Quantum Cryptography School for Young Students (QCSYS) is an exciting week-long program offered to Canadian students in Grades 11-12. This year the program will run through August 12-16, 2013. The program is run by the Institute for Quantum Computing in conjunction with the University of Waterloo
One year after the grand opening of the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) will be opening the doors of the Lazaridis Centre and participating in Doors Open Waterloo Region.
The Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) is a two-week program on the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information aimed primarily at students completing their third undergraduate year. The lectures and experiments are geared toward students in engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science, though all interested students are invited to apply.
Emerging quantum technologies will change the way that our online information is stored and secured. To be cyber-safe we must be quantum-safe. It’s possible, but we need to start planning now if we want to be ready in time.
Two measures of macroscopicity for quantum superpositions in countably infinite dimensional Hilbert space will be introduced: one depending on the optimal distinguishability of the components of the superposition under measurements of subsets of particles and another based on the ratio of the quantum Fisher information of the superposition to that of its components.
