Perimeter Institute is a theoretical physics institute.

Our group is concerned with theoretical questions arising in the area of Quantum Information Science. This includes entanglement quantification, innovative quantum applications as well as novel ways of implementing quantum-information processing.

The quantum information theory section is also affiliated with the theoretical quantum optics section in the quantum optics and laser science group(QOLS).

The QI-Laboratory runs research in the foundations of quantum information science (the theories of quantum measurement and entanglement, design and analysis of quantum cryptographic protocols, atoms dynamics in optical dipole trap, etc.), applications of quantum theory to modeling quantum interference phenomena in multilevel atoms interacting with optical and magnetic fields (dark resonance spectroscopy), and exploring applications of laser coherent control of molecular chiral states.
