Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Quantum computing is a rapidly growing field both in academia and industry. This is driving the need to expand traditional course offerings and degree programs to train the next generation of researchers and quantum scientists. Most programs have focused on graduate courses and research opportunities for students with a physics background. Laurier’s combination of physics and computer science...

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

Prior research has found limitations in how students reason about uncertainty and measurement in introductory courses, with many students thinking point-like (a single measurement could be the true value) rather than set-like (a set of measurements estimate the parameter). Motivated by the question, "How does that intro-level reasoning influence student thinking about quantum mechanical...
