Cryptography, quantum theory and their intersection were among the new topics introduced to DINAH SHI at QCSYS.

“Physics is like playing the guitar – anyone can learn it, you just need to practice.”

Growing up on Canada’s east coast, THOMAS ALEXANDER was always interested in science.

From the top of a tower, the view is vast and wide; at a high level, the details may be blurry but there is a holistic picture of the landscape below. 

Experiment finds way to increase photon efficiency for quantum communications

A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) demonstrated a new type of on-demand single photon generator that can shape photons to increase their efficiency when used in a quantum network.

Next-generation communication networks will rely on the transmission of quantum information. Single photons, as carriers of quantum information, will play an integral role in building these future networks.
