IQC researchers at University of Waterloo have demonstrated a new technique to help connect quantum devices over long distances, a critical component to realizing a quantum internet. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

Last week, we hosted 200 high-school students from across Canada for the 18th Quantum School for Young Students (QSYS), a one-week virtual deep dive into #quantum. Yesterday, 25 students spent the day at the Quantum Explorations Space with hands-on activities.

The 2025 Quantum Key Distribution Summer School brought students and researchers together at #IQC for five days of lectures, tutorials, and labs on the foundations and applications of #quantum #cryptography. #QKD

#IQC is proud to host the #QuanTour travelling #quantum light source — a symbolic “quantum torch” marking the UN International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

🍦✨ Ice cream for all. Quantum for all. Because quantum science—just like your favourite scoop—is meant to be shared. Huge thanks to Four All Ice Cream for bringing quantum science into the heart of our community with #QuanTour.

Fall term is here! Join us for a great lineup of events as we continue to celebrate the International Year of Quantum. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-… #IQC #quantum #IYQ2025 #quantumcanada2025

We were honoured to welcome Karim Bardeesy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, to the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo last week. #quantum #IQC

This fall, IQC’s Colloquium Series returns. We were pleased to host Louis Gaudreau from the University of Ottawa yesterday as the first speaker in our series. See upcoming colloquia at #IQC: uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

Calling all researchers, students and industry partners in #quantum science. Poster abstracts are due Sep 19 and in-person registration closes Sep 22 for the Year of Quantum Across Canada Symposium. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

IQC researchers have made a new material which is set to boost quantum tech and biomedical imaging: uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-… #Quantum #QuantumTech #QuantumResearch

The Year of Quantum Across Canada Symposium will feature an outstanding lineup of speakers shaping the future of #quantum science — including John Preskill, Alexandre Blais and Sergey Bravyi — along with many others from across Canada and around the world. events.perimeterinstitute.ca/event/1107/reg…

We were pleased to host Britton Plourde from University of Wisconsin–Madison for a colloquium on phonons, quasiparticles and correlated errors in superconducting qubits. Thank you to the #IQC community and academic visitors for continuing to make our events engaging. #quantum

Inspired by the Olympic torch relay, the QuanTour light source made its symbolic journey through key spaces of Waterloo’s quantum ecosystem — from the Quantum-Nano Centre, to the Perimeter Institute, and finally to Michael Reimer's Quantum Photonic Devices Lab.

IQC hosted the QKD Security Proof Workshop this past week, welcoming 32 participants from the University of Waterloo and around the world — including Singapore, Japan, Brazil, Spain, Czechia and Austria. Group photo by Myra Owens. #IQC #quantum #IYQ2025 #QKD
