In Memory of Tom Brzustowski
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) is saddened by the loss of Tom Brzustowksi. He was a great supporter of the institute having served on our Advisory Board since 2006, including as chair from 2006-2014.

An experiment that began by testing the properties of quantum entanglement has led to the discovery of a new diagnostic tool that could help optometrists detect macular degeneration much earlier than was previously possible.
“In the future, I don’t think this is going to be replaced with a quantum computer,” said Rajibul Islam, faculty member at IQC and the Department of Physics and Astronomy, as he pointed towards his desktop computer.
Improving thermal medical imaging of the eye with a new quantum camera and developing new materials to enable “beyond 5G” wireless communications are among the goals of six projects recently supported by the Quantum Quest Seed Fund (QQSF).
Researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have developed a new kind of mirror that could be used to protect against counterfeit banknotes.
Des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) de l’Université de Waterloo ont mis au point un nouveau type de miroir qui pourrait servir à détecter de faux billets de banque.
Researchers have discovered the first working refrigerator for cooling molecules to ultracold temperatures. These can be powerful candidates for running quantum computers and quantum simulators.
Des chercheurs ont mis au point le premier réfrigérateur fonctionnel permettant d’amener des molécules à des températures ultrabasses. Ces molécules peuvent être d’excellentes candidates au fonctionnement d’ordinateurs et simulateurs quantiques.
Magnetic fields are all around us – and even in us – all the time, and they often prove useful in technologies we rely on, like hard drives, MRI scanners and the power plants that provide us with electricity.
Il y a constamment autour de nous — et même en nous — des champs magnétiques souvent utiles dans des dispositifs technologiques sur lesquels nous comptons, tels que les disques rigides, les appareils d’IRM et les centrales électriques.
