Fazel Tafti: A New Paradigm for Colossal Magnetoresistance and Nonlinear Hall Effect
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Fazel Tafti, Boston College Abstract Materials with strong magneto resistive responses are the backbone of spintronic technology, magnetic sensors, and hard drives. Among them, manganese oxides with a mixed valence and a cubic perovskite structure stand out due to their colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). A double exchange […]
Ars Scientia: An artist and a physicist walked into a glassblowing studio …
Virtual eventThe UBC Ars Scientia collaboration brings together artists and scientists to identify fruitful areas for interdisciplinary work. I'll describe how it plunged this theoretical physicist into a messy (and fun!) glassblowing studio, why it saw me capturing explosions at 100,000 frames per second at the hospital, and how some serendipitous physics observations have taken me […]
Ke Zou: Recent progress on understanding the superconductivity of bulk and monolayer FeSe
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Ke Zou, Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Abstract: The physics of high-temperature superconductors is usually governed by the interplay of the spin and charge degrees of freedom. FeSe has the simplest chemical composition among Fe-based superconductors, yet monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3 substrate reports one of the highest […]

Shabir Barzanjeh: Microwave entanglement generation and its application in quantum sensing
BRIM 311 2355 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaSpeaker: Shabir Barzanjeh, Asst. Prof., University of Calgary Abstract: The recent interest in mechanical quantum systems is driven not only by fundamental tests of quantum gravity but also by developing a new generation of hybrid quantum technologies. Here I confirm the long-standing prediction that a parametrically driven mechanical oscillator can entangle electromagnetic fields. We observe stationary […]
