Engage in the advancement of quantum research
Introducing an opportunity to participate in quantum research excellence at the University of Waterloo.
The Quantum Graduate Visitor Program matches theorists and experimentalists from around the world with a University of Waterloo faculty member. This is a unique opportunity for Masters and PhD students to participate in research that aligns with IQC faculty or a TQT project that matches your interests.
This program is committed to supporting equitable, diverse and inclusive participation of individuals from the four designated groups: women, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal Peoples and members of visible minorities. Learn more about our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
