The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Advisory Board reconvened this week with a new chair and two new directors.
Mike Lazaridis takes on the chair role from founding chair, Tom Brzustowski. Lazaridis was instrumental in establishing IQC and has been a member of the IQC Advisory Board since its inception in 2005.
Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) student Tomas Jochym-O’Connor (Department of Physics) earned a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. The prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship awards $50,000 per year over the next three years.
IQC hires former postdoctoral fellow Eduardo Martin-Martinez as a Research Assistant Professor.
Experts from around the world will gather in Ottawa this week to discuss cybersecurity in a quantum world.
New work asserts that a key technique used to probe quantum systems may not be so quantum after all, according to postdoctoral researcher Joshua Combes and his colleague Christopher Ferrie.
Over the past 20 years, a strange idea called a “weak value” has taken root in quantum information science.
Today the Institute for Quantum Computing signed a new agreement with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) to expand research partnerships in the field of quantum information science.
From NIST Tech Beat: September 15, 2014
Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo in Canada have directly entangled three photons in the most technologically useful state for the first time, thanks in part to superfast, super-efficient single-photon detectors developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Raffi Budakian has invented a new way to examine microscopic phenomena. He designs and builds ultra-sensitive detection instruments that allow us to look at nature in fundamentally new ways.
The Province of Ontario renewed its investment in world leading quantum technology research today allotting $25 million to the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo over five years as part of the 2014 Ontario Budget.
Pick up a pencil. Make a mark on a piece of paper. Congratulations: you are doing cutting-edge condensed matter physics. You might even be making the first mark on the road to quantum computers, according to new Perimeter research.
Introducing graphene
One of the hottest materials in condensed matter research today is graphene.
