Congratulations to Megan Byres who has been chosen as the recipient of the 2022 Raymond Laflamme and Janice Gregson Graduate Scholarship for Women in Quantum Information Science.
A new imaging technique using quantum science may lead to novel drug therapies and treatment options, a recent study has found.
Researchers Noah Janzen and Adrian Lupascu from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have found a new one-step process to construct tiny bridge structures on microchips with superconducting circuits.
Computational complexity is a field of computer science that aims to understand the resources needed to solve computational problems. Researchers Anirban Chowdhury and David Gosset at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have been collaborating with IBM researchers Sergey Bravyi and Pawel Wocjan to explore the exciting interface between computational complexity and quantum many-body physics.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) congratulates Alain Aspect, John F Clauser and Anton Zeilinger who have been awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics.
IQC Achievement Award winner Bowen Yang sat down with us to discuss his PhD research in quantum materials, the opportunities he’s received while at IQC, and his recommendations for students interested in learning and gaining more experience with quantum.
IQC Achievement Award winner Xi Dai sat down with us to discuss his PhD research with superconducting circuits, the challenges he overcame, and his plans for the future following graduation.
IQC Achievement Award winner Shayan Majidy sat down with us to discuss his current and future research on noncommuting conserved quantities, the award, and his advice for current and aspiring students interested in quantum information.
Kimia Mohammadi's master’s thesis investigates the design of an 8-inch transceiver telescope capable of both transmitting and receiving quantum signals at 785 nm, as well as classical communications at 980 nm and 1550 nm, with higher efficiency than similar commercial options. This telescope is aimed to be one of the quantum ground stations that will test Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols and other communication schemes with the Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat), once it is launched in 2024.
Researchers at IQC have made significant contributions to a Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process run by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). As the process enters its fourth round, researchers are one step closer to identifying codes that will be widely accepted as reliable and safe against attacks enabled by emerging quantum computers.
