An international team of researchers from the University of Toronto, Griffith University (Brisbane), and the Institute for Quantum Computing (Waterloo) demonstrate "surrealistic" quantum trajectories in the lab.
A team lead by researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo has successfully detected the presence of single photons while preserving their quantum states.
Researchers in Canada, the United States and Europe led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado and Institute for Quantum Computing alumnus Krister Shalm have ruled out classical theories of correlation with remarkably high precision. A group including Institute for Quantum Computing members Evan Meyer-Scott, Yanbao Zhang, Thomas Jennewein, and alumnus Deny Hamel built and performed an experiment that shows the world is not governed by local realism.
THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener is hosting LIGHT Illuminated, an exhibit with activities that include a race against light and laser maze.
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.
