Quantum information science and technology use the rules that govern atoms and molecules to manipulate information. This leads to mind boggling increases in the power of information processors.
Mission To develop and advance quantum information science and technology at the highest international level through the collaboration of computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and physical scientists
Strategic Objectives 1 To establish Waterloo as a world-class centre
for research in quantum technologies and their applications (such as health, oil exploration, national security)
2 To become a magnet for highly qualified personnel in the field of quantum information
3 To establish IQC as an authoritative source of insight, analysis and commentary on quantum information
