We are a group of five professors,
and we are working on a wide range of topics that go from quantum gravity
up to cosmology, quantum information theory, quantum computing, quantum foundation,
or even nanotechnologies. We are members of those departments and those
institutes and so our students benefit
from all the many connections, all the great
activity that’s going on in this institute.
The kind of training you get in this program
it’s actually extremely broad. You’re
going to be training in skills that go
from the foundations of physics to the foundations
of the structure of space and time
and understanding quantum theory, all the way to high-tech applications
to quantum technologies and nanotechnology. Students should be very passionate about math and physics
and really dedicated to work hard.
Our aim is to train our students in both mathematics
and physics and in mathematical model building.
Doing mathematical physics opens a wide range
of doors.
They can go, of course, to academia,
or they can also go to the high-tech companies.
They can also go to the financial sector.
Waterloo is a small town but other than the incredible
amount of math and physics happens here, there’s also a lot to do. It’s a student
city in the sense that there are two big universities with a lot of students.
So you’re not going to miss out on a lively
city when you come here.
We’re lucky in that we are attracting some
of the very best students,
and we train them in a very versatile way,
with powerful mathematical methods.
This is the perfect place. It’s the confluence
of different institutions
with a lot of investment and funding
all together here in Waterloo.
