New Lab for Creation of Quantum Materials Opens at Institute for Quantum Computing

A first-of-its-kind, world-class laboratory that could lead to the creation of quantum materials for use in a new generation of technologies opened at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) today.

Time Travelers Could Possibly Copy Quantum Data from the Past

Popular television shows such as "Doctor Who" have brought the idea of time travel into the vernacular of popular culture. But problem of time travel is even more complicated than one might think. LSU's Mark Wilde has shown that it would theoretically be possible for time travelers to copy quantum data from the past.

Nonlinear Light-Generating Zero-Index Metamaterial Holds Promise for Quantum Computing

The Information Age will get a major upgrade with the arrival of quantum processors many times faster and more powerful than today's supercomputers.

Photon Pairs Produced Through Four-Wave Mixing in Cold Atomic Vapour

Quantum technologies for communication and computation can play on the strengths of different systems: photons are good for zipping information around, atoms are good for storage. CQT researchers have demonstrated a technique for producing entangled photon pairs that promises to help interface the two.

IQC to Build Compact Prototype Quantum Key Distribution Receiver for Low-Cost Microsatellite Mission

Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researcher Dr. Thomas Jennewein and Dr. Vadim Makarov have received a $600,000 contract from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to design and build a compact prototype quantum key distribution receiver (QKDR) suitable for a low-cost microsatellite mission.

Researchers Exploit Decay to Create Entanglement of Atomic Systems

Usually, when researchers work with quantum information, they do everything they can to prevent the information from decaying. Now researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, have flipped things around and are exploiting the decay to create the so-called entanglement of atomic systems, which is the foundation for quantum information processing. The results are published in the scientific journal, Nature.

NIST Experiment Shows How Quantum Computing Can Benefit from Lost Data

Suggesting that quantum computers might benefit from losing some data, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have entangled—linked the quantum properties of—two ions by leaking judiciously chosen information to the environment.

New Study Contributes Towards Computation with Individual Atoms

Advances in technology for computation and information storage always require to make the systems smaller and faster. The limits of miniaturization are those set by nature: Materials are composed by specific units, the atoms, that cannot be further divided.

Physicists Overcome Key Barrier to Building Practical Quantum Computers

An international team of physicists led by SFU professor Mike Thewalt has overcome a key barrier to building practical quantum computers, taking a significant step to bringing them into the mainstream.
