Last chance to register for 'An introduction to analyzing cryptographic protocols using Taramin prover' workshop with Cryptoworks21, happening tomorrow from 2-4 p.m. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

Students from the Perimeter Institute's PSI Start program visited the Quantum-Nano Centre this week to see the labs where #quantum ideas become reality. They saw how entangled photons are made, how individual atoms are trapped, and how to cool quantum chips to the milliKelvin scale.

With the UN's proclamation of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we're thrilled to help support #QuantumDays2025 in Toronto, hosted by U of Toronto's CQIQC. Join us in February to connect with global innovators and explore the latest

We had a great time with Xanadu's Daniel F. Nino this morning as part of our Undergraduate School on Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) programming. Thanks for joining us!

As part of IQC's Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP), Professor Christine Muschik presented a fantastic introduction to quantum error correction (QEC). #QEC is what could allow #quantum computers to overcome noise by using many noisy qubits to

Our Quantum for Educators (#QEd) workshop has empowered high school science teachers to bring the magic of #quantum science into classrooms for a decade. To date, we've reached 500+ teachers and engaged educators from 11 provinces/territories & 5 countries Thank you to our

We kicked off the Quantum for Educators (#QEd) 2024 workshop with an exciting first day! Attendees dived into the world of quantum cryptography, explored the two golden rules of #quantum mechanics, and got hands-on with #qubits. #IQC #Quantum4Educators #QuantumEducation

Day 2 of the #QEd workshop was packed with sessions on wave-particle duality, computing with interferometers, and #quantum paradoxes. A highlight was the tour at Perimeter Institute. Big thanks to speakers James D. D. Martin, Lalitasri Urja Nandivada, Damian Pope and physicswithmcp!

We wrapped up the Quantum for Educators (#QEd) workshop with an inspiring final day! Participants learned about quantum coding, unravelled quantum enigmas, and discussed quantum entanglement. Special thanks to Tania Belabbas from Institut quantique for her engaging session!

The IQC community enjoyed focused discussions at our first Quantum Repeater Day yesterday. Constructive deliberation and shared insights within our diverse research community helps in realizing the common goal of constructing functional quantum repeaters. The day was a success!

We're thrilled to celebrate Everett Patterson, a PhD student at Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), for receiving the 2024 Boris P. Stoicheff Memorial Graduate Scholarship from CAPhys! Everett's work applies #quantum principles to bridge quantum theory & relativity. Learn more:

The 17th annual Quantum School for Young Students (QSYS) has officially kicked off! We’re thrilled to welcome over 200 high school students from across Canada to the Institute for Quantum Computing (#IQC). This year’s move to an online format has made #QSYS more accessible than

With 1258 alumni to date, QSYS has been shaping young minds in the field of quantum information for nearly two decades. This year’s lectures will be delivered primarily by IQC graduate students, including two of this year’s David Johnston Award for Scientific Outreach award

At Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), Dr. Jamal Busnaina and Dr. Christopher Wilson are using superconducting circuits to unlock the potential of analog quantum simulation. Their recent breakthrough? Simulating the bosonic Kitaev model—unlocking complex #quantum behaviors that traditional computers

As #QSYS 2024 wraps up this week, we’re proud to spotlight Shraddha Aangiras (Shrad), a QSYS alum starting her undergrad career at University of Waterloo this fall. Her journey into #quantum science began with QSYS, and now she’s inspiring the next wave of students as a lecturer

We’re thrilled to welcome Luke Schaeffer as an Assistant Professor at IQC, with Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science as his home department. Welcome, Luke!
