This project focuses on how to ameliorate quantum computing by studying the effects of “two-level systems” on “superconducting qubits”. Quantum bits, or qubits, are the basic units of information in a quantum computer, much like bits in a regular computer. Two-level systems are essentially external pertubations that disturb qubits, ultimately making them behave like bits […]

This project aims to aid in the development of a new Canadian startup creating technology to support cultural heritage conservation. Market research is required to validate the proposed technology, ensure the prototype is well-suited for user needs, and potentially increase the customer base by expanding to sectors outside heritage conservation. Through this project, the intern […]

Partial distinguishability is now recognized as important in quantum technologies because it directly controls the structure of multi-particle quantum interference, which underpins the advantage of many photonic platforms for computing, sensing, and communication. In realistic devices, photons (or other identical particles) are never perfectly identical: residual differences in time of arrival, spectrum, polarization, or spatial […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans le développement de procédés plasmas pour la synthèse de nanomatériaux et le traitement de surface en milieu liquide. L’objectif est d’approfondir la compréhension du comportement des décharges électriques dans les liquides, en particulier des liens entre les phénomènes électriques et les transformations qui se produisent à la surface des électrodes immergées. […]

Laser-driven plume formation is a process relevant to fluid dynamics, laser surgery, and materials processing. In photomechanical spallation, high-intensity laser pulses rapidly deposit energy into a liquid, triggering shock waves, phase transitions, and bubble formation. Although much is known about these phenomena, significant gaps remain in understanding how Newtonian fluids (e.g., glycerol and water) behave […]

Accel-Link Ltd is associated with D-Pace (mutual ownership). It acts as an R&D innovation arm for DPace. D-Pace develops, manufactures and sells ion sources to market segments that utilize particle accelerators. D-Pace’s strategy is to use R&D products that solve customer’s nextgeneration accelerator needs that can result from initial R&D explorations undertaken by Accel-Link Ltd. […]

The combination of electrochemical sensing with miniature fluid handling systems (microfluidics) can lead to the creation of a miniature and portable all-in-one analytical platforms or “lab-on-a-chip”. Lab-on-a-chip technology is used in a variety of sectors, including healthcare (e.g., medical diagnostic tests) and the environment and natural resources (e.g., remote monitoring & sensing). However, electrode fabrication […]

Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

Tokamak is the most promising magnetic confinement fusion reactor configuration for clean energy with practically inexhaustible fuel supply on the Earth. Even though significant progresses have been made, challenges still exist. For example, catastrophic disruptions due to various instabilities in tokamak must be avoided since the sudden interruption of a huge current may destroy the […]

Macrocycles are ring-shaped molecules with internal cavities that can interact with single molecules, ions, or small clusters, making them valuable across areas such as catalysis, optoelectronics, sensing, and environmental remediation. Most known macrocycles are purely organic because their synthesis is well established, while macrocycles that incorporate metal atoms directly into their ring backbone remain rare […]

La surface de la glace est le siège d’importants processus moléculaires qui influent sur le réchauffement climatique comme sur la chimie de l’atmosphère. Des phénomènes comme la formation du trou dans la couche d’ozone et les flux (photo)chimiques de NOx émanant du couvert nival dans le milieu polaire sont deux exemples concrets de la catalyse […]

Lorsque l’on injecte du gaz dans un plasma (gaz chaud ionisé) à basse pression, beaucoup de phénomènes apparaissent. Ces phénomènes complexes semblent s’apparenter à des turbulences fluide et nécessitent l’utilisation d’outils numériques pour être compris.
