Raymond Laflamme

Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Executive Director Raymond Laflamme explained the behaviour of the quantum world during his public lecture titled “From Wonder to Wow: Why the quantum age is closer than you think” at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics’ BrainSTEM Festival on Tuesday, October 1. 

Laflamme shared the latest breakthroughs in quantum information science research and provided an intriguing glimpse of how new technologies emerging from this subatomic realm will change the ways we work, communicate and live in the future.

Last week’s BrainSTEM Festival featured interactive science exhibits, special presentations, public lectures and self-guided building tours of the Perimeter Institute. Laflamme’s public lecture is available for viewing online.
