Event Details
Waterloo is Canada’s "Quantum Valley" — epicentre of the next revolution in computation and communication. Meet the researchers leading quantum-based hardware and software development for fault-tolerant computing, secure key encryption and distribution, and quantum-enhanced metrology applications at the Quantum Technologies Open House. Engage our academic staff and student researchers in discussions of R&D and technical problems facing your company.
Highlights: A half-day open house showcasing the latest developments in topological quantum materials, superconducting quantum circuits, quantum sources and detectors. Tour our nanofabrication, superconducting quantum systems and quantum nanophotonics laboratories, and explore the challenges posed by technology scaling for production. Local funding agencies that specialize in industry/academic collaborations will be on site to answer your questions.

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is Waterloo’s largest academic department, with over 2,500 students, 93 full-time faculty members and 50 support staff. In addition to offering undergraduate and graduate programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering, ECE provides academic expertise and support to Waterloo’s multidisciplinary mechatronics, nanotechnology, and software engineering programs.
Our research activities cover a wide range of fields, from high-voltage engineering and sustainable energy to breakthroughs in wireless technology that will enhance communications across our global society. Our faculty members and students are creating low-cost digital x-ray imagers to combat tuberculosis in developing countries, and building real-time embedded systems that will advance the design and reliability of consumer and industrial products.
