Join Dr. Travis Craddock, Canada Research Chair in Quantum Neurobiology and professor in the #UWaterlooSci Department of Biology as he shares his research on Tuesday, October 29 at 6:30 p.m. in QNC 0101. Register here: https://bit.ly/3BjoKP8

Join us for a series of engaging presentations covering the latest advancements in Transmission Electron Microscopy technology, sample preparation techniques, and analysis methods. The Quantum - Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) will be hosting a TEM Open House on Tuesday, October 29, from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at QNC 0101, to celebrate one year of QNFCF's launch of advanced S/TEM capabilities. Speakers will include QNFCF staff and expert engineers from JEOL Ltd. and Gatan Inc.. Following the talks, there will be opportunities to network and tour our metrology facility to explore advanced instrumentation and learn about the processes involved in sample preparation and characterization. Participants will also have opportunities to attend live TEM sessions, hosted by Nicolette Shaw and JEOL engineer Dr. Patrick Phillips Light refreshments and lunch will be provided. We hope you will join us. Learn more:https://lnkd.in/dRi6ha8b #IQC #TQT #transmission #electron #microscopy #TEM

Faculty, postdocs, and grad students gathered for CryptoWorks21 and Quantum Technology Industry Day yesterday, where they connected with industry leaders in cryptography and quantum technology. Representatives from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Crypto4A Technologies, evolutionQ, Scotiabank, Anyon Systems Inc., softwareQ Inc , and Quantum Valley Ideas Lab provided insightful presentations on their organizations. Attendees explored exciting career and academic partnership opportunities and gained valuable insights into transitioning from academia to industry. #QuantumCareers #Cryptography #CryptoWorks21 Learn more about Cryptoworks21: https://lnkd.in/dcKd2ku4 Learn with us: https://lnkd.in/dwZ_SQWU Research with us: https://lnkd.in/dnrsN35b Study with us: https://lnkd.in/dMFGTcG6

Dive into the next frontier of #quantum information with the QuDits for Quantum Technology workshop 2024, where the main theme is to go beyond binary encodings: from quBits to quDits. As experimental progress opens up new possibilities, researchers explore how multi-level quantum systems can transform quantum technology. 📽️ Watch leading experimentalists and theorists as they discuss the latest advancements and potential applications of quDits in areas such as: algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum simulation, quantum networks and quantum sensing. https://lnkd.in/dG3Ka2qA Christine Muschik

This weekend, #IQC partnered with the University of Waterloo Faculty of Science to bring the UW Light Lab to the LUMEN festival in Uptown Waterloo! Over 2000 people stopped by to see #quantum interference photon-by-photon, learn how ions are trapped, make polarization art, and build their own quantum lab with shadows. Thanks to the City of Waterloo for another fantastic event! #LumenWaterloo #CreateWaterloo #CityOfWaterloo #UptownWaterloo

Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week to all of our postdoctoal fellows! We hope you've had a great week celebrating all of your achievements. Meet other postdocs from across the university and enjoy some tasty food and beverages, 3pm today at the Grad House https://lnkd.in/dQVQukDb
