Pint of Science 2021: Quantum Technology
Virtual eventJoin leaders in quantum computing from across Canada, including SBQMI graduate student Parham Pashaei, at Pint of Science. Pint of Science is an international festival that has been organizing public talks in bars since 2013; given the current state of, well, everything, this popular event has moved online for you to enjoy wherever is convenient for you.
SBQMI Family & Friends: The spooky dual nature of light
Virtual eventThe wave-particle duality of light (or other quantum objects), where the photon (quanta of light) must be seen as in the form of wave as well as particle, has been generally accepted not one century ago. This quantum mechanical concept is already strange enough to us because there is no analogy of it in our daily classical world. Over time physicists have designed experiments to explore the quantum-ness of light further and have discovered more and more counter-intuitive spooky actions of light. In this presentation, PhD student Xiruo Yan will introduce some of the “mind boggling” results of the quantum optical experiments and how we can make use of them.
Magic behavior of low-dimensional nanostructures
Virtual eventLike in a magic trick, atomically thin layers of specific materials can be mixed and stacked in a well-defined way. Due to the inter-layer interaction and charge transfer, the heterostructure may exhibit sometimes unexpected behavior. This occurs in the case of elemental boron, which is notorious for a large number of stable allotropes not only in 3D bulk, but also in 2D.
