Daniel Gottesman, 2003 list of the world’s Top Young Innovators
September 2003

Daniel Gottesman was named to the 2003 list of the world’s 100 Top Young Innovators by Technology Review, MIT’s Magazine of Innovation. The TR100, chosen by the editors of Technology Review and an elite panel of judges, consists of 100 individuals under age 35 whose innovative work in technology has a profound impact on today’s world. Daniel was recognized for his work on quantum computation and quantum cryptography. He has contributed to the understanding of quantum error-correcting codes which can be used to protect quantum states against accidental disturbances. His methods are now used worldwide by researchers designing the first rudimentary quantum machines.

Fotini Markopoulou-Kalamara, Young Researchers Competition in Physics
March 2002

Dr. Markopoulou-Kalamara, a Long-Term Researcher at Perimeter Institute, shared first prize in the Young Researchers competition at the Ultimate Reality Symposium in Princeton, New Jersey. She earned this recognition for her development of a new formulation of quantum cosmology in which quantum theory is applied to a system that contains its own observers, such as the whole universe. She has also explored the role of causality in the quantum theory of gravity and developed methods to study the relationship between the quantum and classical theories of gravity.
