UTQC projects give students the opportunity to apply quantum computing concepts to real-world problems and collaborate with researchers, organizations, and industry.
Current Projects
Quantum PacMan Challange
In collaboration with the University of Toronto Robotics Association, this design project is
focused on creating a quantum-based algorithm that can effectively play the popular arcade game PacMan.
By encoding the game state into a Hamiltonian state, we can pick optimal player paths using a quantum walk
approach. Preprint coming soon.

NV-diamond Sensing
Supported by the SPIE Outreach Grant under the NAQC Photonics Foundry alongside Quantum Village, this project
provided students with hands-on experience designing and building a quantum sensor. By using Nitrogen-Vacancy
centers in diamonds, these devices are able to detect microscale magnetic fields. Paper under review.
