Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the University of Buffalo, IQC and other institutions have created the first neutron “Airy beam,” which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not.
The study of elementary particles and forces is of central importance to our understanding of the universe. Now a team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and IQC show how an unconventional type of quantum computer opens a new door to the world of elementary particles.
Researchers at IQC have found that quantum algorithms could speed up generative artificial intelligence (AI) creation and usage.
Dr. Kazi Rajibul Islam has been recognized by his peers for contributions made to physics and elected as 2024 Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Waterloo researchers achieve breakthrough in protecting qubits during quantum measurements
While truly functional quantum computers are still in development as a future technology, this does not mean that researchers cannot take advantage of quantum properties in the nearer term.
Using laser light, researchers have developed the most robust method currently known to control individual qubits made of the chemical element barium.
Six researchers from IQC have been awarded funding this week through NSERC for their projects in quantum information science and technology.
Dr. Jonathan Baugh is working to create new, high-quality materials with desirable properties for future applications in quantum computing.
The University Research Chair award recognizes exceptional achievement and pre-eminence in a particular field of knowledge.
