Anne Broadbent

Anne Lise Broadbent is a mathematician at the University of Ottawa who won the 2016 Aisenstadt Prize for her research in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum information.[1][2]

Early life and education

Broadbent was a student of Alain Tapp and Gilles Brassard at the Université de Montréal, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2008 with a dissertation on Quantum nonlocality, cryptography and complexity.[1][3] After postdoctoral studies at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, she moved to Ottawa in 2014.[1] She is an associate professor at the University of Ottawa and holds a University Research Chair there.[4]

Awards

Broadbent is the winner of the 2010 John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physics of the Council of Ontario Universities.[1][5] She was awarded the Aisenstadt Prize by International Scientific Advisory Committee of the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques in 2016 for her leadership and work in quantum information and cryptography.

gollark: I don't know. This just checks if the function for it exists.
gollark: But this will likely be true even if it's available but off.
gollark: `if ("interestCohort" in document)`
gollark: Is FLoC support/enablement detectable without actually checking it? We could detect SUPPORT easily.
gollark: > For any frame that is not allowed interest-cohort permission, the promise returned when it calls document.interestCohort() will reject. If the main frame does not have interest-cohort permission then the page visit will not be included in interest cohort calculation.Ah.
