Events

Explore the laboratories where the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researchers are harnessing the strange laws of quantum mechanics to build computers of unprecedented power.

Overview

The quantum information revolution is under way, and you're invited to the Institute for Quantum Computing on Saturday, Sept. 18, for a rare opportunity to explore the science that is making it happen.

Come for the fun, stay for the science! Bring your friends and family to celebrate International Women's Day with the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS).  

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon featuring science demos, hands-on activities and interactive games. Meet our robot Nao!

Activities will be brought to you by the Centre for Women in Science,  Kitchener Public Library, Desire2Learn, Kwartzlab, Diyode, Institute for Quantum Computing, Savvy Planet, Nerd Nite KW, Brick Works Academy and more.

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!
