Congratulations to Dr. Rajibul Islam, a faculty member at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, who has been awarded the 2024 Excellence in Science Teaching Award.
The second annual Quantum Connections Conference highlighted the need for collaboration to address quantum's societal impact.
Waterloo and Xanadu partner to continue to educate Canada’s quantum-ready workforce and pave the path for future innovators.
On April 18, Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) awarded six research teams and their design ideas for the Quantum for Environment (Q4Environment) Design Challenge, whose green-tech solutions address global environmental issues. Ideas included using quantum computing to improve medical devices, and sensors that can detect microplastics and toxic nanomaterials in our oceans.
Breakthroughs in understanding how gravity affects quantum mechanics could be on the horizon at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) with the addition of Dr. Bradley Hauer as IQC's newest faculty member and Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Hauer’s research focuses on studying cavity optomechanical systems and superconducting circuits and their applications in metrology, quantum information and non-classical state preparation.
Each year, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) invites top undergraduate students from around the world to the University of Waterloo for the opportunity to immerse themselves in quantum information science and technology. This program, the Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP), provides participants with lectures on quantum information theory and experimental approaches to quantum devices, as well as over 30 hours of hands-on laboratory and experimental exploration.
