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 specialised in music at De La Salle High School in Ottawa, graduating in 1997. Her interest in science led her to major in mathematics for her undergraduate degree.[3]

Broadbent was a student of Alain Tapp and Gilles Brassard at the Université de Montréal, where she completed her master's in 2004 in the topic of Quantum pseudo-telepathy games,[4] and her Ph.D. in 2008 with a dissertation on Quantum nonlocality, cryptography and complexity.[1][5][6]

Career[]

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.[7]

Awards[]

Broadbent is the winner of the 2010 John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physics of the Council of Ontario Universities.[1][8] 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.
