Dr. Raymond Laflamme, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronommy and founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), has been named co-chair of the National Quantum Strategy's (NQS) Advisory Council.
Waterloo's Nobel Laureate Donna Strickland received top honours from Canada and France last week in Ottawa for her contributions to science. She was appointed the Companion of the Order of Canada medal and named a Knight of the Legion of Honour.
The Ambassador of France to Canada, Mr. Michel Miraillet presented Strickland with the insignia of Knight of the Legion of Honour at the French Embassy. It is France's highest honour and was established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. It rewards outstanding merit acquired in the service of France.
