Quantum Computing Research Group
The Quantum Computing Research Group within the Department of Computer Science conducts research in computational aspects of quantum mechanical systems. We study systems based on quantum mechanical principles. Our research areas include quantum algorithmics, quantum complexity theory, quantum communication complexity, quantum information theory, and quantum computer simulations of quantum mechanical systems.
Our work is collaborative. Together with researchers at other groups and institutions in North-America and Europe, we explore the possibilities and limitations of quantum computing.
We organized and hosted the Third and Sixth Canadian Summer School on Quantum Information Processing (Equips). Our work is internationally and nationally funded, we offer courses on quantum computing, and we provide a rich and flexible environment.
Our group is hiring. The Department of Computer Science offers a preapplication system which will provide you with a free assessment of the likely success of your application.
