In the world of quantum science, Alice and Bob have been talking to one another for years. Charlie joined the conversation a few years ago, but now by enforcing the space-like separation of the three parties, scientists have demonstrated full quantum nonlocality with more than two entangled photons.
Physicists are one step closer to developing the world’s first room-temperature superconductor thanks to a new theory from the University of Waterloo, Harvard and Perimeter Institute.
The theory explains the transition phase to superconductivity, or “pseudogap” phase, which is one of the last obstacles to developing the next generation of superconductors and one of the major unsolved problems of theoretical condensed matter physics.
A woman returns to her dusty village carrying two bottles of water filled from a pool two hours away.
What happens next puts Hyung-Sool Lee on edge. In the typical scenario, repeated daily in dry villages around the world, she fills a bowl for her thirsty toddler.
The child may later become a grim statistic — one of 760,000 children under five years of age swept away by diarrheal disease every year.

Two of the world’s top innovation universities hope to accelerate breakthroughs in research and commercialization with a new agreement signed during a joint conference in Israel on March 18.
The agreement between the University of Waterloo and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology brings together some of the top minds in quantum information science, nanotechnology and water for pure and applied research. Research in these important areas has the potential to:

A financially secure retirement is becoming the exception not the norm, says Lee Anne Davies, CEO of Agenomics, a consulting firm specializing in money management and aging.
Today, more and more Canadians are finding themselves burdened with debt during retirement—a worrying trend that shows no signs of slowing.
Peter Forsyth is a computer scientist who has developed an algorithm that shows online brokerages are likely not handling investors’ buy and sell orders in the best way possible.
"My recent research shows that the standard algorithm used by brokerages is not the best method. It's actually sub-optimal by quite a large margin," says Forsyth, a professor in Waterloo’s Cheriton School of Computer Science.
The way we secure digital transactions could soon change. An international team has demonstrated a form of quantum cryptography that can protect people doing business with others they may not know or trust – a situation encountered often on the internet and in everyday life, for example at a bank’s ATM.
Research from a team of clinical psychologists at the University of Waterloo has the potential to improve the lives of children with learning and behavioural difficulties, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The researchers are seeking participants for their ongoing study.
