The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo hosted its first Youth Quantum Symposium earlier this year, connecting keen minds with researchers and fostering their interest in quantum information science.
Earlier this month, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference 2026 brought together leaders from industry, government and academia to discuss the future of cybersecurity and cryptography. IQC Postdoctoral Researcher Dr. Devashish Tupkary was one of the many presenters at the conference.
Every year since 2012, IQC has brought together some of the brightest young researchers in quantum information science for the week-long Quantum Innovators (QI) workshop.
Earlier this month, IQC hosted postdoctoral fellows in quantum information science and technology from around the world at the Quantum Innovators (QI) 2024 workshop.
This June, IQC welcomed 30 of the world’s brightest undergraduates to participate in the Undergraduate School for Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP).
The second annual Quantum Connections Conference highlighted the need for collaboration to address quantum's societal impact.
With a focus on collaboration and community, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) is proud to host regular social events for our members. While media and popular culture often portray the image of a lone researcher working late nights in a lab or at a computer to make breakthroughs, the more realistic portrayal of new ideas and discoveries can be encompassed through partnerships and teamwork.
The 14th annual Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) was in full swing over the last two weeks at the IQC.
