Devoted to theoretical and experimental studies of control and manipulation of quantum systems which are of interest in quantum information.
The Centre for Quantum Dynamics undertakes experimental and theoretical studies of the dynamics (the motions, and energy and momentum exchanges) of systems of particles whose behaviour is governed by quantum mechanics. Specifically, the Centre activities include research in laser and collisions atomic physics, quantum optics, atom optics, quantum mechanics and quantum computing.
We're growing into two groups, at the moment, with one focused on foundations and one focused on nanotechnology with some focus in quantum information. We'll be updating things soon.
Our nanotechnology group has members from the departments of physics and chemistry as well as representatives from industry. Our foundations group is a loose amalgam of folks from physics, chemistry, computer science, math, and philosophy.
The Institute for Quantum Information Science is a multidisciplinary group of researchers from the areas of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics. The goals of Calgary's Institute for Quantum Information Science are to conduct leading research in key theoretical and experimental topics of quantum information science, to provide excellent education and training in quantum information and cognate areas, and to foster linkage between the Institute and other quantum information institutes and with industrial partners.
We investigate quantum optical and quantum information processes with cold atoms and non-classical light sources, especially quantum processes arising from light-atom interactions. Our main activities are in two related areas: manipulation of cold atomic ensembles, including spin squeezing and generation of atom-light entanglement, and generation of squeezed, entangled, and single-photon states of light at atomic resonance wavelengths.
Quantum Technology at Queens (QTeQ) researches into the field of quantum information processing and quantum optics applications.
ERATO-SORST Quantum Computation and Information Project, funded by Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency, conducts wide area of research related to quantum information science. We proceed our studies in collaboration with active research groups on quantum information theory and experiment in U. Tokyo, NII, NEC Labs, and other research organizations.

Our group studies electron transport through metal or semiconducting structures with critical dimensions of a few nanometers. The physics of electron transport in nanostructures is incredibly rich, and at low temperatures, quantum mechanical behavior emerges: the energy levels in the structures are quantized, just like in atoms and molecules. Our research focusses on understanding and controlling the quantum properties of structures such as superconducting rings, quantum dots, nanowires and carbon nanotubes, with possible application to quantum computing and novel electronics devices.
