THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener is hosting LIGHT Illuminated, an exhibit with activities that include a race against light and laser maze.
A team led by Professor Thomas Jennewein at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) has successfully completed the development of the crucial Acquisition, Pointing and Tracking (APT) fine pointing system for a future Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) satellite payload.
John Fish could end up travelling to the Silicon Valley later this week as the winner of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. He is one of the 15 finalists out of more than 2,000 students from 86 countries, and only one of two Canadians to get this far in the annual challenge that invites students, ages 13-18, to share their passion for math and science with the world through video.
Computer scientists, including Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) members John Watrous and Richard Cleve have long been looking at protocols where quantum communication offers an advantage compared to the classical case. However technology hasn’t progressed as quickly, so researchers had previously been unable to implement the protocols.
Infinity – the mathematical notion of no limits. Our physical world has many limits. Yet mathematically infinity is reality.
Four professors from the University of Waterloo are among the new fellows of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) announced today, peer-elected as the best in their field.
The fellowship of the RSC consists of individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the arts, the humanities, science, and Canadian public life.
Researchers develop first source of on-demand time-bin entangled photon pairs using quantum dot
William Slofstra returns to the University of Waterloo campus where he completed his BMath in the Departments of Pure Mathematics and Combinatorics & Optimization.
As Vern Paulsen joins the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Pure Mathematics as Professor, the Institute for Quantum Computing now collaborates with a seventh department at the University of Waterloo.
A former QCSYS student was awarded the CAP Physics Prize and Excellence Award – Senior Silver Medal at the Canada-Wide Science Fair 2015 in Fredericton, New Brunswick for a project that he did with IQC researchers.
