A world-travelling quantum device is making its only North American stop at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo.
A world-travelling quantum device is making its only North American stop at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo.
QuanTour celebrates the advancements in quantum science and technology and the power of collaboration in recognition of the International Year of Quantum (IYQ) Science and Technology, which commemorates 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. QuanTour is run by the German Physical Society and has sent a device called a quantum dot single-photon source to 14 labs across Europe.
A quantum dot is a light source that produces single photons — the smallest quantity of light. These devices could play a key role in realizing a quantum internet to connect devices such as quantum computers and users in a quantum encryption network.
