Mattias Fitzpatrick – Dartmouth College Title: Quantum Simulation with Superconducting Circuits: Synthetic Quantum Matter to Non-Hermitian Sensing Abstract: In recent years, superconducting circuits have garnered much attention due to their use in quantum computers and quantum annealers. However, this technological platform can also be used to study problems in condensed matter and many-body physics where microwave […]

Lesley Cohen – Chair of the Advisory Board Title: Non-collinear Mn3NiN Antiferromagnets Abstract: Antiferromagnets (AFM) hold interest because of their potential for application in high density, high speed spintronic devices, as  an active layer and also as a component in superconducting S/AFM/S Josephson Junctions. Frustrated non-collinear antiferromagnets offer additional attractive functional properties due to their […]

Ting Ge – University of South Carolina Title: Mechanics of Non-Concatenated Ring Polymers – Effects of Topology Revealed by Molecular Simulations Abstract: Few aspects are as prevalent and important as topology in polymer mechanics, which provides an essential foundation for versatile functions of polymeric materials. Recent advances in chemistry have enabled the precise synthesis of […]
