Olivia Woodman is the 2021 recipient of the Raymond Laflamme and Janice Gregson Graduate Scholarship for Women in Quantum Information Science.
A satellite to test in-orbit laser annealing was sent into orbit from the International Space Station (ISS) today, marking an important step towards the realization of secure quantum communication using satellites and a global quantum internet.
Writers stand to win prizes of up to $1,500 for short stories that draw inspiration from topics in quantum physics
Quantum Shorts opens a new call for flash fiction today. Until 16 December 2021, the competition is accepting short stories inspired by the many possibilities of the quantum world.
A group of researchers have used a groundbreaking new technique to reveal previously unrecognized properties of technologically crucial silicon crystals and uncovered new information about an important subatomic particle and a long-theorized fifth force of nature.
A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have developed a new quantum simulator that uses microwave photons in a superconducting cavity to simulate particles on a lattice similar to those found in superconductors or atomic nuclei.
