« Étrangement fascinant », a déclaré un membre du jury. « Un concept très audacieux », a dit un autre. « Original et amusant » a été un 3^e commentaire.

Vous pouvez maintenant juger par vous-même de la qualité des films soumis à la plus récente édition du festival Quantum Shorts du court métrage quantique! Les finalistes sont enfin prêts à recevoir vos commentaires.

“Weirdly compelling,” was one judge’s comment. “A very adventurous concept,” said another. “Creative and funny,” came a third verdict.

Now you can judge the entries to the latest edition of the Quantum Shorts film festival yourself! The shortlist is finally ready for your input.

Raymond Laflamme, chercheur à l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC pour Institute for Quantum Computing), a reçu aujourd’hui à Rideau Hall l’Ordre du Canada des mains de Son Excellence la très honorable Julie Payette, gouverneure générale du Canada.

Today, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researcher Raymond Laflamme was invested into the Order of Canada by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, at Rideau Hall.

Recognized as a pioneer in quantum information research and technology, Laflamme was appointed to the Order of Canada for his significant scientific and leadership contributions to the country.

In his own words, Marc Morin is “addicted to the game.”

Morin is the CEO and co-founder at Auvik Networks, pronounced awe-vik, as in awesome. “It’s like having a child who does way better than you and it’s awesome,” Morin explained at the CryptoWorks21 Distinguished Lecture last fall. Elaborating on his evolving role as a CEO in a tech company, he shared lessons learned­—the mistakes he made and the things he got right—during his personal journey as a serial technology entrepreneur. 

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) in collaboration with researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a highly robust method for structuring light and matter waves, enhancing the powerful probing ability of neutrons.

Quantum computers can solve a linear algebra problem faster than classical computers, according to a new study published in Science. The finding proves that constant-depth quantum circuits are more powerful than their classical counterparts, and provides a new sense of how quantum technology will be a key to more powerful computing.

A step further for secure quantum communication and scalable quantum computing

A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) generated three-photon entanglement on a superconducting chip using a new, scalable technique.

The experiment, published in Physical Review Applied, could lead to advances in quantum communication protocols like secret sharing and in quantum computing power.

Three graduate students were recognized for exceptional achievement in research and for outstanding commitment to scientific outreach at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
