Research group: les qubits volants

This is the page for our research, les qubits volants. This group was formed in 2018 and was listed on L'équipe de recherche en physique de l’information quantique (EPIQ, now InfoQ seminars) for group speaking spots at Université de Sherbrooke.

Some students are co-advised (thanks to David Sénéchal, Alexandre Blais, and David Poulin).

We make our own code and solve our own problems for a variety of systems. We also make some tutorials and introductions (en français aussi!) if you want to learn these methods for yourself. See our publications page!

Funding for students has been graciously provided by: Institut quantique, Institut Transdisciplinaire d'Information Quantique (INTRIQ), and the Département de physique de l'Université de Sherbrooke. This research was undertaken thanks in part to funding from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF).
