Professor Thywissen's lab has isolated a pair of atoms to observe p-wave interaction strength for the first time.

Over a hundred leading experts, postdoctoral fellows and students from around the world met at the ninth biennial Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control (CQIQC) conference.

Professor Yong-Baek Kim received this honour for his "remarkable contributions in the arts, the humanities and the sciences, as well as in Canadian public life".

CQIQC Members, Professor Li Qian and Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo, are part of a research team that proposed a new quantum fingerprinting protocol, which is used to quickly and securely identify whether information from two sources is the same.

CQIQC's founding member Aephraim Steinberg has been appointed a University Professor, an elite designation bestowed on a few University of Toronto faculty members for distinguished scholarly achievement and pre-eminence in their fields.

Created in 2005, the John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their Applications is judged by an international panel of experts and awarded every two years.

Physics World has selected the quantum tunnelling-time experiment as one of their quantum highlights for 2020.

Professor Paul Brumer and postdoctoral fellow Dr. Chern Chuang have created a computational model to better understand how biological chemical processes work under natural sunlight.

Professor Amr Helmy and his team received funding from Canada’s Department of National Defence to develop quantum light sensors for drone detection, biomedical imaging and other relevant fields.

Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Toronto have found a way for quantum materials to undergo transitions between “dynamical phases” by using clouds of ultracold atoms.

CQIQC's Joseph Thywissen led a research team that has discovered new rules governing the behaviour of atoms that collide at temperatures close to absolute zero. They published these findings in Nature Physics.

The second biennial John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their Applications is awarded to Sandu Popescu, Professor of Physics at the University of Bristol, UK, for discoveries illuminating the nature of nonlocality and entanglement, the investigation of stronger-than-quantum non-signaling correlations, and the application of quantum theory to thermodynamics.

In 2009, the first biennial John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their Applications was awarded to Prof. Nicolas Gisin for his theoretical and experimental work on foundations and applications of quantum physics, in particular: quantum non-locality, quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation.

CQIQC has created a new award! We are requesting for nominations for the 2007 Inaugural John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and Their Applications

Our physicists are part of an international team that has made the first execution of a quantum calculation, a major step towards building the first quantum computers.

Professor Aephraim M. Steinberg has been honoured with the Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics, awarded for outstanding research in any branch of physics.
