Since 2006, Sir Anthony Leggett has been visiting IQC at the University of Waterloo for an annual twelve part lecture series, dealing with his two main areas of interest, condense matter physics and quantum foundations.
With direct connections between his work and the work done at IQC, he explains how the annual lecture series is not just a benefit to IQC, but for him as well.
The 2012 lecture series is the first time Sir Anthony Leggett has covered eight separate and distinct topics dealing with quantum science, based on the requests of those in attendance.
Leggett was one of three scientists to share the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics for important contributions to low-temperature physics and superfluidity. He is contracted to spend the next four summers at the Institute for Quantum Computing. He is also the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Distinguished Research Chair at IQC.
