Recent research by CQIQC member Prof. Sergio de la Barrera

The Q-SITE conference was created by a group of U of T students in 2022 and organized again in both Toronto and Vancouver in September 2023. CQIQC has been a sponsor and collaborator right from the start of this successful student initiative.

CQIQC Undergraduate Summer Research Program recipient Nicholas Taylor was one of the top-voted posters at the DSI's SUDS Showcase.

Recipients of CQIQC's competitive scholarship program discussed their summer research projects, program experience and their future goals.

Professors Sergio de la Barrera and Xiang Li have recently joined the University of Toronto. The Department of Physics has interviewed them to learn more about their research interests, future plans and past work and school experience.

This medal recognizes significant experimental or theoretical contributions to condensed matter and materials physics. Professor Hae-Young Kee is recognized as one of the world’s foremost theoreticians in identifying new quantum materials with desirable functionalities. Her work has emphasized identifying appropriate model Hamiltonians that have led to new insights and predictions.

For the past 45 years, the IEEE honours a team or individual for their “outstanding technical contributions to quantum electronics, either in fundamentals, applications, or in both”. This year, Professor Lo received this award for his work in quantum cryptography and quantum network.

The U of T-IBM Quantum Computing Conference allowed industry leaders and students to discuss research opportunities in quantum computing

Professors Hoi-Kwong Lo & Li Qian are part of a research team that proposed a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) scheme without any modulators, which removes a major source of side channels on QKD sources.

Professor Joyce Poon organized the Compute Acceleration Symposium, to gather ideas from industry leaders and researchers on potential novel hardware engines to keep pace with AI’s computational needs.

6 CQIQC Members received $2.3M from the government to support projects in quantum computing, quantum thermometry, and quantum devices.

6 CQIQC Members: Professors Amr Helmy, Artur Izmaylov, Young-June Kim, Dvira Segal, Sorin Voinigescu, and John Wei are recipients of the NSERC Alliance National Quantum Strategy grants. They received $2.3M from the government to support projects in quantum computing, quantum thermometry, and quantum devices.

The winners received a $5,000 scholarship for their publication "Negative Quasiprobabilities Enhance Phase Estimation in Quantum-Optics Experiment".

Celebrating 50 years at U of T!

Professors Li Qian and John Sipe are part of a large international team of researchers in Canada and Europe that will develop a blueprint for future satellite quantum link technology, with applications in quantum cryptography and the quantum internet.

Researchers from the Department of Physics and CQIQC have developed a theoretical model describing the interactions between subatomic particles in non-Fermi liquids.

Toronto-based Xanadu is racing to build the world’s first photonic-based, fault-tolerant quantum computer – a machine that could have applications in everything from drug discovery to climate change mitigation

Co-founded by CQIQC member Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo, the company received a $1 million contract to test its quantum-resistant key distribution solution.

Experts and policymakers gathered at the University of Toronto to discuss Canada’s new National Quantum Strategy and the university’s role in supporting it.

CQIQC Member, Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo has been awarded with the Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Applied Photonics by the Canadian Association of Physicists and Institut National d’Optique.
