Trois des centres canadiens de recherche les plus reconnus dans les domaines de l’information et des matériaux quantiques collaborent dans cinq nouveaux projets conjoints. Ces trois centres ont tous reçus du financement du Fonds d’excellence en recherche Apogée Canada (FERAC).

Raymond Laflamme, chercheur à l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC pour Institute for Quantum Computing), a reçu aujourd’hui à Rideau Hall l’ des mains de Son Excellence la très honorable Julie Payette, gouverneure générale du Canada.

Today, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researcher Raymond Laflamme was invested into the by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, at Rideau Hall.

Recognized as a pioneer in quantum information research and technology, Laflamme was appointed to the Order of Canada for his significant scientific and leadership contributions to the country.

In his own words, Marc Morin is “addicted to the game.”

Morin is the CEO and co-founder at Auvik Networks, pronounced awe-vik, as in awesome. “It’s like having a child who does way better than you and it’s awesome,” Morin explained at the CryptoWorks21 Distinguished Lecture last fall. Elaborating on his evolving role as a CEO in a tech company, he shared lessons learned­—the mistakes he made and the things he got right—during his personal journey as a serial technology entrepreneur. 

A step further for secure quantum communication and scalable quantum computing

A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) generated three-photon entanglement on a superconducting chip using a new, scalable technique.

The experiment, published in , could lead to advances in quantum communication protocols like secret sharing and in quantum computing power.

The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) congratulates Donna Strickland, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, on receiving the 2018 Nobel Prize for her research in the field of laser physics.

“I am beyond thrilled to congratulate my colleague Donna Strickland,” said Raymond Laflamme, founding director of IQC. “Her ground-breaking work has propelled research in this field forward, leading to discoveries and applications in laser physics and enabling experiments in other areas, including quantum information.”
