This image shows the generation of Raman sidebands in diamond.
Two Gaussian laser beams, pump (purple), and Stokes (dark orange), enter a Raman medium (diamond) and generate a broadband of higher-order anti-Stokes.

Le professeur Roberto Morandotti, physicien de renommée mondiale à l’INRS, devient le premier chercheur au Canada à recevoir le prix Max Born 2026, l’une des distinctions les plus prestigieuses dans les domaines de l’optique et de la photonique.
The Quantum Internetworking Challenge Program is here to go after the key challenges holding back entanglement-based networking.
What will it take to connect a superconducting quantum computer to a photonic quantum computer?
This 🇨🇦 collaboration program wants to take risks to "mind the gaps"
Well, not only is this program real, but it's first open call for proposal is live!

Well then!
Here we go, champs! Training for annual half marathon has officially commenced!🏃♀️
Bring on winter running!

Eww. LinkedIn Year on Review? Please no.
I get it. I rode the "new job" wave and wrote some cringey, well-liked posts. What more do you want from me?

Chip-based phonon splitter brings hybrid quantum networks closer to reality: https://bit.ly/3KFOZUB
The coupler acts like a junction in a #quantum postal route to split, route or recombine single quantum vibrations to send excitations made in one processor to others on the same chip. #OPG_OpticaQ💡⚛️

A Nobel medal
BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit"
Stay tuned for more.
It may not be shiny but there are several critical enabling technologies needed to make quantum networking happen ⚛️

Oh Canada, don’t look this gift horse in the mouth. Highly skilled people have just been priced out of the US. Come north where the only taxes on your brain are the worlds most important scientific questions that you’ll help to answer.

Canada had – and lost – its lead in AI. Can it avoid making the same mistake in the next emerging global technology race?" 🎁🔗
