The Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) program has opened another call for proposals for the Quantum Quest Seed Fund (QQSF). The funding opportunity opened February 14, 2022.
A new collaborative project between the UK and Canada, that has been awarded funding from the Quantum Communications Hub, will establish a key satellite link for quantum communication across the Atlantic.
IQC researchers are working together towards unlocking high-dimensional quantum optics. They are advancing fundamental research with future applications for quantum communications and computing.
A duo of researchers, including IQC PhD candidate Shayan Majidy, developed a mathematical tool to investigate quantum thermodynamics on existing quantum hardware. This research helps the efforts underway to bridge the gap between theory and experimental reality.
A team of researchers led by an IQC faculty member performed the first-ever simulation of baryons—fundamental quantum particles—on a quantum computer.
The quantum internet is one step closer to reality as researchers have demonstrated an effective regime for controlling noise in the photon detectors of a quantum satellite.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (PhD, Physics 2011) will discuss her book The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, & Dreams Deferred on Monday, November 1 at 2:00 p.m. virtually at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo.
