Over a dozen IQC researchers share their research findings in Denver, Colorado this week
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) has added renowned physicist Raffi Budakian, Michal Bajcsy and Kyung Choi to grow its faculty complement to 21.
IQC, which was recently allotted an additional $15 million funding by the Government of Canada, continues to grow towards its target of 33 faculty, 55 postdoctoral fellows and 165 graduate students.
Waterloo, Ont. (Tuesday, February 11, 2014) —The University of Waterloo thanks the Government of Canada for renewing its support for the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
Economic Action Plan 2014 announced today allots a further $15 million to IQC over three years.
With this federal support, IQC and the University of Waterloo can help Canada lead the world in quantum research and in developing the new companies that will build the quantum information science industry.

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have been studying how to keep your private data just that – private, even when performing remote quantum computation on it.
A powerful tool in protecting privacy is the ability to perform computation on encrypted data, and protocols have been found to do this on classical computers. However, the computations that classical computers can perform are limited. Quantum computers, while still in their infancy, have the ability to solve certain problems that are intractable to classical computers.
