IQC Student Seminar featuring Ramy Tannous

So you want to build a satellite?

Are you curious about the Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite mission, also known as QEYSSat? Are you wondering "Why put quantum in space"? Or perhaps you are curious to know what it takes to put quantum hardware in space? In this talk, we will discuss why it is advantageous to have quantum in space. We will also explore the various design challenges that need to be considered for space hardware. Finally, we will discuss the history of quantum space activities at the Institute for Quantum Computing, particularly QEYSSat, which is a joint project between the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the University of Waterloo.
