He is a children's book author. He is a #quantum theorist at UTS: University of Technology Sydney and an IQC alumnus. He is also our next fireside guest! Tune in for a fireside chat with Chris Ferrie December 15.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into to our fourth fireside chat last night. It was amazing to see people from all over the world in the chat If you weren't able to make it, the complete recording is now available on our YouTube channel.

If you're having a hard time choosing what to watch on your preferred streaming service, may we suggest something a little different? We're going live for an intimate conversation with IQC and Waterloo Math faculty member David Gosset tomorrow at 7pm EST. Don't forget to set your reminder!

Join us as we talk #quantum algorithms LIVE with IQC and Faculty of Mathematics faculty member David Gosset November 24.

We know advanced #quantum simulations may one day be able to help us explore new frontiers in atomic physics, build new materials and discover new drugs. But first, researchers must find the best ways to control these simulations. Pooya Ronagh, Research Assistant Professor at IQC and University of Waterloo - Faculty of Science, and Kyle Mills and Isaac Tamblyn of the Ontario Tech University have demonstrated that #machinelearning may hold the answer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for #Quantum + Space with Katanya Kuntz last night; we love to receive your questions! For those who weren't able to join us, please enjoy the full recording on our YouTube channel.

"Many authorities in the field didn't believe these devices could work outside a laboratory environment or anywhere close to room temperature, said Zbig Wasilewski, a physicist and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Waterloo and a principal investigator at Transformative Quantum Technologies. Our combined expertise just changed this paradigm." Read how researchers at the University of Waterloo and MIT have created a portable version of a tiny, powerful laser device with potential applications in fields ranging from medical imaging to detecting hidden explosives.
