The symposium celebrates and aim to strengthen the quantum information science community in Canada and beyond, by bringing together leading Canadian researchers as well as members of the broader quantum community. The program will highlight the fundamental advances being made in quantum information theory and how these advances lead to applications.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded jointly to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit” Their contributions led to the present-day quantum computers of IBM and Rigetti, along with those under development at national laboratories and […]

QuantHEP2025 at Berkeley brought together researchers and students in the fields of quantum technologies for high-energy physics, which includes quantum simulation and numerical methods for probing high-energy phenomena. The meeting took place in Berkeley from September 29th until October 2nd at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.

The InQubator for Quantum Simulation (IQuS) will accelerate progress toward quantum computing providing predictive capabilities for the dynamics and properties of matter in extreme conditions beyond what is possible with classical computing and formal techniques alone.  These are important for describing supernovae; high-energy collisions of nuclei; in the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the […]

The “Workshop on Many-Body Quantum Magic” brought leading researchers in various fields of quantum information, quantum computing, quantum simulation and many-body physics to delve into the complex and fascinating resource of nonstabilizerness, or “magic,” a vital and expensive resource for quantum computation that enables quantum computers to surpass classical systems. Recent progress in measuring and […]

COLLEGE PARK, MD – June 25 2025 – IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, today announced the first known simulation using a quantum computer of a process called “neutrinoless double-beta decay” with profound implications for understanding the universe’s imbalance between matter and antimatter. 

Congratulations to Ivan Chernyshev who graduated with his PhD from IQuS, with a thesis entitled Developing techniques for Simulation of SU(3) Quantum Field Theories on State-of-the-Art Quantum Devices e-Print: 2502.02502 [quant-ph]. Ivan joined our effort at the earliest stages of developing quantum simulations of fundamental systems, including non-Abelian lattice gauge theories, and investigations into the quantum complexity […]

The Wolfram community published an online article about the recent work released by Marc Illa, Martin Savage and Xiaojun Yao, e-Print: 2504.21575 [quant-ph]. The article, prepared by Marc Illa, outlines the contents of the paper entitled Dynamical Local Tadpole-Improvement in Quantum Simulations of Gauge Theories .

IQuS Postdoc Saurabh Kadam wins the University of Maryland’s 2024 Ching-Hung Woo Award for Outstanding Dissertation Research in Nuclear and Particle Theory, for work he did under the supervision of Zohreh Davoudi. We congratulate Saurabh for this fantastic achievement!

Nikita Zemlevskiy and Roland Farrell spoke at the APS March Meeting about their work on quantum simulations of quantum field theories, both scalar field theory and 1+1D QED, using more than 100 qubits of IBM’s quantum computers. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p31R9haSTKw
