Fireside Chat with Thomas McConkey

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

What makes a superconducting qubit tick? How does experience in a research lab prepare you for working on major projects after graduation? 
We’ll talk about these topics and more with IQC alumnus Thomas McConkey, now a Microwave Design Engineer at IBM Q, at the next virtual fireside chat.

Wednesday, March 3, 2021 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

FemPhys Mentoring Night

FemPhys and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are hosting an online mentoring event for undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Waterloo. Mentors, all women or of minoritized identities with backgrounds in STEM, will share their experiences and inspire the upcoming generations of scientists and people in STEM.

Quantum information science with photons and neutral atoms

Joint IQC/Physics Seminar featuring Wenchao Xu, MIT

Quantum information science promises great potential to revolutionize our current technologies such as quantum computation, which can solve classically inaccessible problems. To build a practical quantum computer, it is essential to have precise control over individual quanta. By interfacing free-space photons and atomic platforms, we can maximize the performance of quantum computation, as each platform has its own advantages.
