Researchers have published a white paper outlining a future mission opportunity to establish a step towards a Canada-wide quantum internet.
Dr. Thomas Jennewein leads the Quantum Photonics lab which designed and implemented the module.
Modular software brings together a variety of expertise to create a new method to realistically model and analyze quantum cryptography.
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).
A commonly researched method of quantum cryptography is quantum key distribution (QKD).
Researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have brought together two Nobel prize winning research concepts to advance the field of quantum communication.
Congratulations to IQC faculty members Dr. David Cory, Dr. Thomas Jennewein and Dr. Chris Wilson, who have each received approximately $3 million in funding for advancing their research into the real-world applications of quantum technology.
In our increasingly digital and interconnected world, graduate students like Kimia Mohammadi constantly innovate to stay ahead of emerging security risks. She is part of a national team creating Canada’s first quantum satellite, currently scheduled for launch in 2025.
A single-photon detector and counting module (SPODECT) recently built by Waterloo’s Quantum Photonics Lab for the International Space Station (ISS) will be used to verify quantum entanglement and test its survivability in space as part of the Space Entanglement and Annealing QUantum Experiment (SEAQUE) mission.
EvolutionQ, founded by Norbert Lütkenhaus, Executive Director of the Institute for Quantum Computing, and IQC faculty member Michele Mosca, has secured $7 million in funding for quantum-safe cybersecurity.
