Travaillant sous la direction du professeur Michael Reimer, des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) ont mis au point un nouveau capteur quantique ayant recours à des nanofils semiconducteurs qui peuvent détecter rapidement et efficacement des particules individuelles de lumière sur une gamme sans précédent de longueurs d’onde allant de l’ultraviolet à l’infrarouge proche.

Un nouveau capteur quantique mis au point par des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique de l’Université de Waterloo (IQC) montre qu’il peut surclasser les technologies existantes et promet des progrès importants dans l’imagerie 3D à longue portée et le suivi du traitement de cancers.

Trois des centres canadiens de recherche les plus reconnus dans les domaines de l’information et des matériaux quantiques collaborent dans cinq nouveaux projets conjoints. Ces trois centres ont tous reçus du financement du Fonds d’excellence en recherche Apogée Canada (FERAC).

Today, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researcher Raymond Laflamme was invested into the Order of Canada by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, at Rideau Hall.

Recognized as a pioneer in quantum information research and technology, Laflamme was appointed to the Order of Canada for his significant scientific and leadership contributions to the country.

In his own words, Marc Morin is “addicted to the game.”

Morin is the CEO and co-founder at Auvik Networks, pronounced awe-vik, as in awesome. “It’s like having a child who does way better than you and it’s awesome,” Morin explained at the CryptoWorks21 Distinguished Lecture last fall. Elaborating on his evolving role as a CEO in a tech company, he shared lessons learned­—the mistakes he made and the things he got right—during his personal journey as a serial technology entrepreneur. 

A step further for secure quantum communication and scalable quantum computing

A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) generated three-photon entanglement on a superconducting chip using a new, scalable technique.

The experiment, published in Physical Review Applied, could lead to advances in quantum communication protocols like secret sharing and in quantum computing power.
