Join Amanda Green, Senior Advisor at Mitacs, to learn how to leverage Mitacs funding for collaborative research at IQC. This session will cover key Mitacs programs that support partnerships with companies, nonprofits, municipalities, hospitals, and startups.

Information session for theÌýMSc Physics – Quantum Technology specialization (course-based)

Location: onlineÌý

Online webinar through

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and Mitacs will be holding a joint webinar onÌýThursday, November 23^rdÌýat 10amÌýto share information about their newÌý, which provides fundingÌýfor bilateral student travelÌýwith international university labs.

In this session, Amanda Green and Etienne Pineault, Senior Advisors with Mitacs, will provide information and updates on how to leverage Mitacs funding to build collaborative research projects with international university partners.Ìý

Following the presentation, we will answer your questions about finding a partner, deciding on Mitacs eligibility and navigating program requirements (including how to work with our team to submit successful funding applications). Regan Child, International Grants and Contracts Manager with the Office of Research, will be on hand to offer assistance.

In celebration of the International Day of Light on May 16th, Dr. Katanya Kuntz from the IQC will be joiningÌýÌýto talk about what light is really made of, how to catch a photon in the sky, and how this technology can be used to keep our communication safe and secure. Katanya coordinates the Science Team for the Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat) mission, which is building a satellite that can detect individual particles of light called photons sent from the ground to outer space.

Quantum mechanics helps us understand what happens below what a microscope can see, describing the world of atoms, electrons, photons, and more. In celebration of World Quantum Day on April 14th, Dr. John Donohue from the Institute for Quantum Computing will sit down with to explore quantum science and its applications, from light particles and electron waves to superconductors and quantum computers.

Take a quantum study break to celebrateÌýÌýon Friday, April 14^th. The Institute for Quantum Computing will be in the SLC Multi-Purpose Room (SLC 1120) withÌýQuantum: The Pop-Up ExhibitionÌýfrom 11am to 4pm, with cookies for the first 414 guests.

IQC will be hosting a training session open to current IQC staff, faculty and research assistant professors.

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.

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.
