## 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.[4]

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,[5] and her Ph.D. in 2008 with a dissertation on Quantum nonlocality, cryptography and complexity.[1][6][7]

## Career

After postdoctoral studies at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, she moved to Ottawa in 2014.[1] She is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa.[8] From 2014 to 2024, she held the University of Ottawa University Research Chair in Quantum Information Processing.[9]

## Awards

Broadbent is the winner of the 2010 John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physics of the Council of Ontario Universities.[1][10] 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.
