IQC faculty secure more than $1.8 million in federal funding for quantum research
Summarize this article with:
Five faculty from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo have received $1.8 million in funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Alliance Quantum grants program. The funding goes to a wide variety of quantum sensing and quantum computing simulation research projects.Dr. Bradley Hauer, Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering $448,000 Next-generation technology to access new regimes of quantum sensing. Dr. Michael Reimer, Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering $450,000 Portable semiconductor nanowire quantum sensors with enhanced efficiency and timing resolution. Dr. Jonathan Baugh, Professor, Department of Chemistry $450,000 Next-generation photonic source to enable quantum remote sensing and communications. Dr. Adrian Lupascu, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy $450,000 Superconducting levitation in the quantum regime — a platform for quantum science and technology. Dr.
Kazi Rajibul Islam, Professor, Physics and Astronomy $25,000 Simulating high energy physics models with a trapped ion quantum simulator. IQC researchers’ expertise spans from theory to experiments and beyond. They lead and contribute to major national and international initiatives that accelerate the development of quantum technologies and expand Canada’s global leadership in the field. IQC research groups
