1 IQC DIRECTOR S REPORT KEVIN RESCH, INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

2 OUR 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.

3 CORE RESEARCH AREAS QUANTUM COMPUTING Using atoms, molecules and particles of light to create new bits of computer information qubits, which can be 0 and 1 at the same time for computing. QUANTUM COMMUNICATION Developing ultrasecure communication channels, low-noise transmission protocols and satellite-based global networks by harnessing the power of the quantum world. QUANTUM SENSING Using the laws of quantum mechanics to develop new sensors with exponential precision, sensitivity, selectivity and efficiencies. QUANTUM MATERIALS Engineering materials that exhibit quantum properties for robust quantum information processors and other devices.
