This award highlights critical progress in quantum science communication, specifically addressing the urgent need to distinguish legitimate research from pseudoscience in the public discourse. By bridging the gap between complex theoretical protocols and accessible outreach, these students are directly supporting the ecosystem's goal of fostering scientific literacy and dispelling myths surrounding quantum mechanics.
IQC students win outreach award for making quantum science clear
IQC students Caroline Lima & Ireneo Membrere won the 2026 David Johnston Outreach Award for making complex quantum information research accessible, dispelling myths & inspiring STEM curiosity.
The Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo is celebrating two students whose outreach work is bridging the gap between complex science and public understanding. Caroline Lima, a PhD candidate in Physics and Astronomy, and Ireneo James Membrere, a master’s student in Applied Mathematics, have jointly received the 2026 David Johnston Outreach Award for their efforts to demystify quantum information research, the company says. Lima points…
