Quantum Computational Particle Physics
Meet with experts who have taken their academic experience and found opportunities to bring quantum to market. As part of this panel, they will discuss their personal pathway into commercialization including challenges and lessons learned.
Optimal Theory Control Techniques for Nitrogen Vacancy EnsemblesÂ
Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) Centers in diamond are a very versatile tool. A single Nitrogen Vacancy center is most notably known for sensing magnetic fields, but recently has presented itself as a functional node for a quantum internet, to name just two of its wide ranges of applications.Â
Observation and manipulation of a phase separated state in a charge density wave materialÂ
In partnership with the Kitchener Public Library, join John Donohue for a conversation with author and researcher Chad Orzel. They'll be talking about Orzel's latest book, A Brief History of Timekeeping.
About the book:
Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC associate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS)Â will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.
Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.
Protection of quantum information is a central challenge in building a quantum computer. Quantum error-correcting codes can correct for logical errors that occur in the system. A particularly well-studied category is stabilizer codes, such as the 9-qubit Shor code, as these are the quantum analogue of classical additive codes. Qudits (particles with local-dimension greater than 2) have more computational basis states per particle than qubits and retain this feature in stabilizer codes.
Join alum Guanru Feng as she shares her career journey and talks about current research.
Guanru Feng is an Applied Scientist at SpinQ Technology, a quantum computing hardware and software company, where she focuses on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) desktop quantum computing platforms and superconducting qubit systems.
Quantum sensors allow us to measure with incredible accuracy, precision and selectivity. Future quantum devices that achieve these ultimate sensing qualities by harnessing the complexities of atoms, photons and semiconductors will play a critical role in improving applications such as medical technology, radar, geological exploration, molecular imaging and more.Â
