Anne 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]

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]

As well as the Aisenstadt Prize, Broadbent is the winner of the 2010 John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physics of the Council of Ontario Universities.[1][5]
