William Slofstra, a research assistant professor at IQC, recently announced a solution for one of these problems, called the strong Tsirelson problem, which gets at the nature of how we model entanglement.
WATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, September 19, 2016) — The Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo set a world record for creating a Canadian flag measuring about one one-hundredth the width of a human hair.
Challenges to protecting information and systems from the massive processing power of quantum computers will be the focus of a workshop that the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing will co-host in Toronto next week.
The technology industry is now facing a Y2Q — years to quantum — challenge. The current deadline is estimated to be 10 years. All security dependent on existing standards is vulnerable.
WATERLOO, Ont. (Tuesday, September 6, 2016) — IQC Canada Excellence Research Chair, David Cory heads up Transformative Quantum Technologies funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
Joel Wallman, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), along with Matthew Pusey from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and Lluis Masanes from University College London have been awarded a 2016 Physics of the Observer mini-grant from the
Jean-Philippe MacLean is in Germany discussing quantum science at the prestigious 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.
Faculty, associates and affiliates of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) collected 10 awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) on Thursday, June 23.
Theorists from Perimeter and experimentalists from the Institute for Quantum Computing have found a new way to test whether the universe is quantum, a test that will have widespread applicability: they’ve proven the failure of noncontextuality in the lab.
What does it mean to say the world is quantum? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer, and most casual discussions on the point are heavy on the hand-waving, with references to cats in boxes.
IBM Quantum Experience is used for the first time as an educational tool at IQC’s Undergraduate School for Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP).
Leading the Quantum Innovation (QuIN) laboratory at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), Na Young Kim aims to build large-scale quantum processors based on novel materials and advanced technologies.
