William Witczak-Krempa, a professor in UdeM's Department of Physics since 2016, is a quantum physicist who studies highly entangled quantum states of matter. Quantum entanglement enables the encoding and sharing of information at great distances, a property that is harnessed in quantum computing. Discovered 120 years ago, quantum physics studies the behaviour of small particles (e.g. molecules, atoms and electrons) and phenomena that classical physics cannot explain. "Basically, we model physical systems," Witczak-Krempa explained. "We do calculations on paper and on computer to understand how complex quantum systems work.
