On Tuesday, the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF), Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT), and Testforce hosted the Electrical Characterization Seminar, joined by speakers from Keithey and Tektronix.

On Tuesday, the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) hosted the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) Seminar: Part 2, joined by speaker Mike Miller (Angstrom Engineering).

Last week, the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) hosted the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) Introductory Seminar, joined by speaker Mike Miller (Angstrom Engineering).

Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) and the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) hosted a Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Open House to celebrate one year of the QNFCF’s launch of advanced S/TEM capabilities and explore collaboration opportunities across the UW community. Over 90 attendees came together for the day-long event, which featured presentations, tours, and live sessions.

The QNFCF and TQT team welcomed the University of Waterloo community and industry partners to the opening of the Inert Atmosphere Fabrication Lab (IAFL).

8 UW students were invited to the Research Advancement Center (RAC) 1 to hear talks on quantum sensing and perform experiments utilizing Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond.

TQT hosted the Quantum for Environment Information Session: How Can Quantum Address Environmental Challenges on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The event brought together speakers and attendees from both the quantum and environment communities.

This year, we saw the quantum community come together with a particular focus on health and environment.

On October 24, TQT, GreenHouse and the Quantum Ethics Project jointly hosted the Quantum for Environment Lunch and Learn. The event brought together attendees from both the quantum and environment communities, including many attendees who were new to quantum technology and were enthusiastic to learn how it could be applied to address environmental challenges.

On September 18, TQT held the Quantum For Environment – Ideation Forum. The event saw over 60 attendees with nearly 100 registering interest, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and staff. Many attendees were new to quantum and were eager to learn how quantum technologies might be used to impact the environment.
