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
