How a new quantum sensor could improve cancer treatment

A research group at IQC has secured $1 million to develop a proof of concept that would link two observation stations by sharing quantum information via drones, creating a sensing system with unprecedented resolution by distributing quantum entanglement. 

The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) celebrates the achievements of John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis who have received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their work underpins quantum computing and sensing research at IQC.

IQC PhD students Sarah Odinotski and Jack DeGooyer are working on designing sensors capable of detecting single photons, the smallest unit of light.

Two researchers at IQC have received $500,000 in funding from NSERC to develop and demonstrate next-generation quantum sensors that are more precise and sensitive than current ones.

Dynamic nuclear polarization and nanometer-scale magnetic resonance imaging creates unprecedented opportunities to study biological structures.

Faculty members at IQC received an NSERC Alliance – Quantum grant for their project, 'Next-generation technology to access new regimes of quantum sensing'.
