Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (University of Waterloo), in collaboration with MIT, have identified an experimental method to facilitate the design of prototype quantum computers and any other technologies requiring many-body quantum coherence.
The Institute for Quantum Computing would like to welcome all of our new faculty and students. Two new faculty members, John Watrous and Kevin Resch have joined the Institute this fall.
New research is challenging the notion that quantum mechanics is the science of the small and static.
Ultrafast Characterization of Quantum Optoelectronic and Microwave Photonic Devices and Circuits Research team to transfer new technologies to Ontario's photonic sector.
"Quantum information seeks to harness the quantum world for new technologies in computing, communication and precision measurement," explains Kevin Resch, professor of physics and astronomy. "Quantum effects, such as entanglement, superposition and the uncertainty principle, are often referred to as bizarre or paradoxical as they have no analogues in our everyday experience."
Jonathan Baugh is working toward the physical realization of quantum information processors in solid-state systems, using the property of spin to encode and manipulate quantum information. Past work has focused on solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance devices, and more recently on combined electron-nuclear spin systems and single electron spins in quantum dots. Prior to joining IQC and the Department of Chemistry in 2007, he spent one year as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Tokyo.
This is an excerpt from an article taken from Innovation Canada's website:
With Mike Lazaridis as the chair, four experts in the field of Quantum Computing discussed the most important advances in the field of quantum science. The Open House provided guests with introductions and insights into its research, labs, and plans for the new building.
Fostering Innovation. Building Community.
Waterloo named the World's Top Intelligent Community 2007
The Intelligent Communities Forum (ICF) has recognized Waterloo as being the world's Top Intelligent Community 2007, an honour that acknowledges the community that best exemplifies the development of a prosperous economy based on broadband and information technology.
One of the Educational Initiatives includes Research in Motion (RIM) and the Institute for Quantum Computing.
