Faculty members at IQC received an NSERC Alliance – Quantum grant for their project, 'Next-generation technology to access new regimes of quantum sensing'.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) is excited to announce this year's recipients: Amit Anand, Everett Patterson and Fiona Thompson. The awards are given annually to students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to enhancing public understanding of quantum research through outreach and community involvement.
This June, IQC welcomed 30 of the world’s brightest undergraduates to participate in the Undergraduate School for Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP).
New quantum-nano fabrication and characterization facility lab advances research and enhances community innovation and collaboration. The University of Waterloo has officially opened its state-of-the-art Inert Atmosphere Fabrication Lab (IAFL) as part of the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF).
This year, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) celebrates our members Albie Chan, a PhD student at IQC who won the Dean of Science Award from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Nicki Shaw, senior facility microscopist at the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) who was awarded the Department of Chemistry’s award.
This week, 24 graduates from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) will cross the stage at convocation, earning their University of Waterloo graduate degrees from engineering, math and science.
After multiple years of prototyping, testing, and simulating the conditions of outer space in labs at IQC, Dr. Thomas Jennewein and members of his research group are celebrating their next big milestone — their quantum source is finished and ready to be incorporated into the Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat).
The year-long, worldwide initiative aims to celebrate the contributions of quantum science to technological progress over the past century, raise global awareness of its importance to sustainable development in the 21st century, and ensure that all nations have access to quantum education and opportunities.
IQC is proud to congratulate Jack deGooyer, Caroline de Lima Vargas Simões and Sarah Odinotski, IQC PhD students who were awarded the 2024 Vanier Scholarship, one of the most competitive and prestigious scholarships available in Canada for PhD students.
IQC is proud to congratulate Jack deGooyer, a PhD student in IQC and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, for being selected as a Vanier Scholar this year.
