— the culmination of nearly three years of experiments in the Institute for Quantum Computing's (IQC) quantum optics laboratory — puts one of the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics, called Born’s rule, to the test.

At first glance, a wooden boomerang might seem like a peculiar gift to give the world’s most famous scientist. But Stephen Hawking immediately understood the significance of the gift he received this week from his former doctoral student, IQC Director .

IQC Director Raymond Laflamme joined a panel of leading scientists to discuss Prof. Stephen Hawking's profound influence during a recent broadcast of TVO's "The Agenda with Steve Paikin."

For his outstanding academic achievements and outreach work at IQC, Deny Hamel has been awarded the Vanier Graduate Scholarship by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC).
