This is a work in progress.

Lindsay J. LeBlanc is a Canadian atomic physicist. She is an associate professor of physics at University of Alberta and the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair for Quantum Simulation with Ultracold Quantum Gases. Her work involves quantum simulation, quantum memory, and developing hybrid quantum systems.

Background and Education
LeBlanc completed a BSc in engineering physics at University of Alberta. She earned a MSc and PhD in physics at University of Toronto. LeBlanc won the 2011 CAP Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Canada (DAMOPC) Thesis Prize for her PhD thesis on “Exploring many-body physics with ultracold atoms”. After, LeBlanc conducted a postdoctoral fellowship at the Joint Quantum Institute of National Institute of Standards and Technology and University of Maryland, College Park.

LeBlanc is an associate professor of physics at University of Alberta (U of A) and the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair for Quantum Simulation with Ultracold Quantum Gases. She is part of the multidisciplinary QUANTA (QUantum Nanotechnology Training in Alberta) CREATE program team which trains graduate students in emerging quantum technologies. She was also a fellow of Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR)'s quantum materials program.

Research
In 2017, LeBlanc's research group at U of A successfully produced Bose Einstein condensate, the coldest state of matter. They are only a few groups in the world to have achieved this.
