WIN Intellectual Property Series: IP Case Study

University of Waterloo has long been known for researchers who are entrepreneurial thinkers and industry partners. At the core of entrepreneurship is Intellectual Property (IP) Rights Policy #73, also called "creator-owned," which grants ownership to the inventor. It's the engine for driving commercialization success of research-based innovations and may be the most entrepreneurial oriented IP policy in North America.

We are living in times of extraordinary advancement of technology. A significant contribution to this innovation is coming from companies that were just a group of students a few years ago doing their graduate research, and now their ideas have grown to become multimillion international businesses. These successes would not have happened without access to educational resources and tremendous support. The University of Waterloo has entrepreneurship embedded in its DNA.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology is pleased to present a Seminar Series talk by current UWaterloo graduate student Nathaniel Smith and McMaster University teaching Professor Matthew Jordan.

This seminar is being delivered via WebEx. If you do not already have the WebEx app or browser installed, you will be prompted to do so to join the meeting.

Abstract:

Microwave systems are a central part of modern technology, with major applications including wireless communication and radar.   In recent years, microwave circuits and systems have also become leading platforms in the development of quantum computing, sensing, and communication systems.  For instance, the quantum processors being developed by large companies such as IBM and Google are superconducting microwave circuits which are controlled and readout by microwave photons.
