Now that’s what I call a tunable single photon source! 💪 Congratulations to Rubayet and the rest of the team on a great set of results. The ‘magnum opus’ is now available as a preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2309.06734…

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Our new paper is out! @M__Soltani @crystalslab @IQC_NPQO

@jwgale “To study possible hidden effects.. they deliberately infected healthy young adults.. and none reported lasting problems, but after a year they performed slightly worse.. before being infected. The difference was roughly comparable to 6 IQ points” @jwgale bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Most infectious disease specialists have no clue what they’re talking about when it comes to airborne transmission. Instead listen to the aerosol scientists, occupational hygienist, engineers and HVAC specialists. #ASHRAE @alandrummond2 @mtlgazette @KarlweissMD @Aaron_Derfel

New postdoc openings in our group at UC Berkeley! If you wanted to develop hybrid platforms with neutral atom qubits - reach out (CV attached). Deep experimental experience in AMO, superconducting circuits, or quantum optics (with matter qubits) will be highly relevant!⚛️

In the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, IQC outreach engaged 22,000+ Canadians through 100+ events, co-hosted Year of Quantum Across Canada Symposium, and launched WaveMakers—connecting researchers, startups, investors, and industry. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…

“Hi Professor, I used AI to solve all the homework assignments and submitted the solutions without understanding them. I now bombed the in-person final which was based on the assignment problems. Can you make an exception for me in the course grading scheme?”

“Hi Professor, I cheated on my online midterm but forgot to hit ‘submit’ until the next day. Can I still get full credit for the midterm?”

It’s the season …

Our work on *programmable on-chip nonlinear photonics* came out online in Nature today. You can find the link to the paper in the thread below. Congratulations again to first author @yanagimotor and the rest of the team. 1/2

🎉 Huge congratulations to @Reza_rp6 on successfully defending his PhD! Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off. We're so proud of you and can't wait to see the amazing things you’ll accomplish in the future! 👏🎓 #PhDdefense @UWaterloo @QuantumIQC

Our paper demonstrating reversible tuning of nanowire quantum dots with nitrogen ice is now published in @ACSPhotonics 🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Hat tip to Dr. Al Maruf, the rest of the team, and to our collaborators!

🚀🎊 The first quantum computer in space survived its launch almost four weeks ago. #univie 💬 "So far, everything looks good. All the systems are working", explained project manager Philip Walther. Read more here ⤵️ futurezone-at.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/futurezone…

Congratulations 🎉 to Nik on his new paper reporting a combination phase tuner in an aluminum nitride photonic integrated circuit: opg.optica.org/ome/fulltext.c…

IQC and Waterloo mourn the loss of Ray Laflamme, IQC’s founding executive director from 2002 to 2017. Beyond his significant contributions to science, he was a leader, teacher, mentor and friend. We offer our deepest condolences to Laflamme’s family. bit.ly/40ezl7w

🎓 Today, we recognize IQC graduates from the University of Waterloo Faculty of Engineering, thinkers, builders and innovators who have pushed the limits of #quantum technology. #IQC #UWaterloo #engineering

*What advantages do correlations confer in a quantum reservoir computer (QRC)?* We have experimentally implemented what is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest-scale QRC to date, based on a Gaussian Boson Sampler with >400 photonic modes and ~700 photons per shot. 1/
