11月1日，加拿大滑铁卢大学的Prof. Raymond Laflamme前来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为师生们作“Quantum Error Correction: from theory to practice”的学术报告。
报告人简介：
        Raymond Laflamme was born in Quebec City and did his undergraduate studies in Physics at Universite Laval. He then moved to Cambridge, England, where he survived Part III of Mathematical Tripos before earning his PhD in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) under the direction of Stephen Hawking. Laflamme and Don Page are responsible for having changed Hawking's mind on the direction of time in a contracting Universe (as described in Hawking’s best-seller "A Brief History of Time"). 
        From 1988-1992, Laflamme held a Killam Postdoctoral fellowship at UBC, and a Postdoctoral fellowship at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge. From 1992-2001, Prof. Laflamme worked as a research scientist at Los Alamos Research Laboratory, where his interests shifted from cosmology to quantum computing. In 2001 he joined the newly founded Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Waterloo, where he and Michele Mosca founded the Institute for Quantum Computing. Laflamme holds a Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Quantum Information, and is a respected pioneer and leader in quantum information processing.
