WATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, September 19, 2016) — The Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo set a world record for creating a Canadian flag measuring about one one-hundredth the width of a human hair.
Challenges to protecting information and systems from the massive processing power of quantum computers will be the focus of a workshop that the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing will co-host in Toronto next week.
The technology industry is now facing a Y2Q — years to quantum — challenge. The current deadline is estimated to be 10 years. All security dependent on existing standards is vulnerable.

Faculty, associates and affiliates of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) collected 10 awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) on Thursday, June 23.
Theorists from Perimeter and experimentalists from the Institute for Quantum Computing have found a new way to test whether the universe is quantum, a test that will have widespread applicability: they’ve proven the failure of noncontextuality in the lab.
What does it mean to say the world is quantum? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer, and most casual discussions on the point are heavy on the hand-waving, with references to cats in boxes.
IBM Quantum Experience is used for the first time as an educational tool at IQC’s Undergraduate School for Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP).
Leading the Quantum Innovation (QuIN) laboratory at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), Na Young Kim aims to build large-scale quantum processors based on novel materials and advanced technologies.
New Haven, Conn. – Buoyed by a $3 million federal grant, a Yale University-led experiment will explore key questions about the tiny particles called neutrinos — and potentially improve the way we monitor and safeguard nuclear reactors in the process.
The U.S. Department of Energy grant from the Office of High Energy Physics will be used to build a first-of-its-kind, short-distance detection device for the Precision Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT), a project involving 68 scientists and engineers from 10 universities and four national laboratories.
