@PeterShor my comment was based on my experience back in 2011/12 when I was at IQC (and PI was just starting their graduate program, without offers in QC), I suspect that things could have changed substantially in the 6 or 7 years since. I think PI still only offers PhDs through partner institutes.

There are two quantum wikis which provide reasonably good list of research groups in QIP: [Quantiki](http://www.quantiki.org/groups) and [Qwiki](http://qwiki.stanford.edu/index.php/Category%3aGroup). Quantiki has better European coverage, while Qwiki has better US coverage.

The geographic area I know best is the UK. In the UK there are large theory groups in Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, University College London and Imperial College, among other places.

In Oxford, where I have spent the last 5 years, QIP research is spread across a number of departments: Physics, Computer Science, Materials Science and Maths. There isn't much of a presence in Maths, although it is Artur Ekert's official affiliation. Computer Science has a growing group that mostly looks at category theory and quantum foundations. Physics has quite a number of different groups ranging from experiments to theory. Materials science is weirdly the department where I have been based (although I know little about materials) and there is both a [theory group](http://qunat.org) there and a fair number of experimentalists. Computer Science, Materials and Physics all have taught quantum computing courses which can be taken towards the course requirement of a DPhil.

(I am  not an expert in quantum computing, but it seems to me that you are neither. It is better to allow experts knowledgeable about the field answer the question.)  
> **username_8**: ps: I think this is a general issue with your answers, they seem to be results of searching and not expertise/knowledge. So far you have posted [46 answers](http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/search?q=user:7884+wiki:0+is:answer) and only [9 of them](http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/search?q=user:7884+wiki:0+is:answer+votes:2) have +2 score.  
> **username_11**: PI does not do quantum computing, that is handled by IQC (covered in my answer) also in Waterloo; many faculty are cross-appointed between the two. I also fully agree with @username_8's sentiment.  
> **username_14**: The OP is interested in graduate programs. The PI doesn't offer a graduate program in quantum computing, although they do have an excellent one-year Masters program in physics.  
> **username_14**: @Artem: I have to disagree. The PI does do quantum computing, as you could tell if you looked at their [list of faculty](https://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/people/research-position). Lots of PI postdoctoral fellows are in quantum computing, as well as a few permanent faculty, and lots of associate faculty whose main positions are at IQC.  
> **username_11**: @PeterShor my comment was based on my experience back in 2011/12 when I was at IQC (and PI was just starting their graduate program, without offers in QC), I suspect that things could have changed substantially in the 6 or 7 years since. I think PI still only offers PhDs through partner institutes.
