Faculty, Research Assistant Professors (RAPs), graduate students and associates of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) collected 14 awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) today.
The province of Ontario announced that Kyung Choi and Vadim Makarov of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) were two of the award winners.
Local MPPs Daiene Vernille and Kathryn McGarry presented announced the awards to University of Waterloo recipients this morning at Waterloo and Lin Tan, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering, made some remarks on behalf of the university.
NewBit acknowledged nationally and internationally with publication awards
In the past two weeks, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) received three awards recognizing achievement of overall communication and effectiveness for NewBit, including:
Waterloo student is among first to receive scholarship that honours the role Canada played liberating the Netherlands
Today's episode of Innovations with Ed Begley, Jr., on the Discovery Channel featured the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
The episode focused on research happening at IQC; explaining how it harnesses the quantum laws of nature in order to develop powerful new technologies and drive future economies. To help audiences understand how quantum mechanics will lead to a new set of technologies that will become an economic driver for the 21st century, the segment shows researchers exploring the deepest questions about quantum.
For the first time, a researcher at the University of Waterloo has theoretically demonstrated that it is possible to detect a single nuclear spin at room temperature, which could pave the way for new approaches to medical diagnostics.
A $1.6-million gift to the University of Waterloo and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology by The Gerald Schwartz & Heather Reisman Foundation is enabling world-changing research in a range of disciplines, including lung diseases and quantum computing.
WATERLOO, Ont. (Friday, April 24, 2015) —The falling apples of Newtonian physics to the amazing and counterintuitive phenomena of the quantum realm will take centre stage when the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony (KWS) and the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) present their innovative musical experiment next month.
Research in the field of Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI) brings together the two pillars of modern physics: quantum theory and general relativity. RQI research is yielding results ranging from new insights into the laws of nature to concrete applications in quantum computing and quantum communications.
Contrary to the statistician's slogan, in the quantum world, certain kinds of correlations do imply causation.
