Anne Broadbent is a Full Professor and University Research Chair in Quantum Information Processing at the University of Ottawa. Her primary areas of research are quantum communication and quantum cryptography. 

In the context of FoQaCia, her scientific contributions will focus on the classical simulation of quantum systems and their link to cryptography. Prof. Broadbent holds degrees from the University of Waterloo (B.Math, 2002) and Université de Montréal (M.Sc. 2004; PhD 2008). She was previously a CIFAR Global Scholar and NSERC postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.

Joshua Nevin 

Postdoctoral Researcher

Josh is studying the application of techniques from classical simulation of quantum systems to developing new protocols in quantum cryptography (WP2).  His previous affiliation was the University of Waterloo (PhD, Combinatorics and Optimization, 2021).

Sherry Wang  

MSc student

Sherry is working on putting theory to practice: implementing post-quantum cryptographic schemes on quantum machines with a lens on improving their fault tolerance (WP4).

Sohrab Ganjian

MSc student

Sohrab is studying quantum cryptography. In particular, Sohrab is interested in the applications of quantum-certified deletion and proof of quantumness.
