Researchers in Canada, the United States and Europe led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado and Institute for Quantum Computing alumnus Krister Shalm have ruled out classical theories of correlation with remarkably high precision. A group including Institute for Quantum Computing members Evan Meyer-Scott, Yanbao Zhang, Thomas Jennewein, and alumnus Deny Hamel built and performed an experiment that shows the world is not governed by local realism.

THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener is hosting LIGHT Illuminated, an exhibit with activities that include a race against light and laser maze.

John Fish could end up travelling to the Silicon Valley later this week as the winner of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. He is one of the 15 finalists out of more than 2,000 students from 86 countries, and only one of two Canadians to get this far in the annual challenge that invites students, ages 13-18, to share their passion for math and science with the world through video.

Computer scientists, including Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) members John Watrous and Richard Cleve have long been looking at protocols where quantum communication offers an advantage compared to the classical case. However technology hasn’t progressed as quickly, so researchers had previously been unable to implement the protocols.

Infinity – the mathematical notion of no limits. Our physical world has many limits. Yet mathematically infinity is reality.

Researchers develop first source of on-demand time-bin entangled photon pairs using quantum dot

The province of Ontario announced that Kyung Choi and Vadim Makarov of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) were two of the award winners.

Local MPPs Daiene Vernille and Kathryn McGarry presented announced the awards to University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ recipients this morning at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and Lin Tan, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering, made some remarks on behalf of the university.

WATERLOO, Ont. (Friday, April 24, 2015) —The falling apples of Newtonian physics to the amazing and counterintuitive phenomena of the quantum realm will take centre stage when the Kitchener-À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Symphony (KWS) and the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) present their innovative musical experiment next month.

Contrary to the statistician's slogan, in the quantum world, certain kinds of correlations do imply causation.
