ESE Fall Seminar – “Quantum information processing stack: from bottom to top and back”

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia

Quantum processors have become quite large and sophisticated machines over the last several years, with many tech companies racing to develop the first quantum computer of practical utility. While the progress has been impressive, quantum processors still face significant hurdles such as short coherence times and high error rates. They are not yet able to […]

MSE Seminar: “Luminescent Photonic Metamaterials and Devices From THz to Optical Frequencies”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia

A crucial yet unavailable component in high-performance photonic integrated circuits (ICs) and other chip-scale photonic systems is an on-chip light source that is efficient, functional, IC-compatible, and electronically addressable. In this talk, I will cover several types of on-chip sources, including perovskite microlasers and luminescent hyperbolic metamaterials, topologically protected microlasers on the III-V platform, as […]

MSE Seminar: “Quantum Materials: A View from the Lattice”

Wu & Chen Auditorium

Connecting theoretical models for exotic quantum states to real materials is a key goal in quantum materials science.  The structure of the crystalline lattice plays a foundational role in this pursuit in the subfield of quantum material synthesis.  We here revisit this long-standing perspective in the context low dimensional emergent electronic phases of matter, including […]
