Yawen Peng, a PhD candidate in electrical and computer engineering, is the first recipient of the new Samit & Reshma Sharma foundation scholarship, which supports Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) graduate studies with significant practical impact in quantum information research.

Christine Muschik, a research associate faculty member at Perimeter Institute and a professor at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing, is working at the frontier of quantum computing today – using not just “qubits” that are represented as superpositions of zeros and ones, but with multi-level “qudits” that go well beyond the binary qubit realm.

Using a novel type of quantum computer, Martin Ringbauer’s experimental team at the University of Innsbruck, and the theory group led by Christine Muschik at IQC at the University of Waterloo, Canada report in a publication in the journal Nature Physics how they have successfully simulated a complete quantum field theory in more than one spatial dimension.

Fraunhofer IAO, Fraunhofer IPA and the IAT of the University of Stuttgart are pooling their research expertise to set up the cross-institute Fraunhofer Lab “flaQship”. The lab focuses on applied quantum computing in Stuttgart and Heilbronn.

A research project led by Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) faculty Dr. David Cory, professor in the Department of Chemistry, has received $1 million to advance quantum metrological standards.

Open Quantum Design (OQD), a non-profit organization developing the world’s first full-stack, open-source quantum computer, has launched a collection of open repositories now available to the public.

Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat), a satellite demonstrating secure ground-to-space quantum communication, will soon orbit the earth. And the researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) that are making that happen, along with collaborators at the University of Calgary and the Institut national d'optique (INO), have published a white paper outlining a future mission opportunity to establish a step towards a Canada wide quantum internet.

Foqus Technologies leverages quantum technology and artificial intelligence to enhance medical imaging and reduce wait time for patients and health-care providers.

A new Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC)-Mitacs paid internship program can help bridge the gap between industry and academia allowing students to diversify their skills. The program offers financial support to undergraduate and graduate students in quantum information, as well as recent graduates.

A Canadian photon detector module that was designed, assembled, and programmed at the University of Waterloo recently launched to the ISS on NASA's SpaceX CRS-31 commercial resupply mission.
