Year after year, UWaterloo is ranked #1 in Canada (and #20 in the World according to 2017 PitchBook rankings) of universities that produce the most venture capitalist-backed entrepreneurs. Nanotechnology research and education programs at UWaterloo have measurably affected the local entrepreneurship scene. In this Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship series, we are complementing existing educational programming on the campus.

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.

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.
