Likewise, these highly tunable materials are […]
Dr. Valentino R. Cooper: Exploring the Chemical Landscape of High Entropy Oxides
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Dr. Valentino R. Cooper Title: Exploring the Chemical Landscape of High Entropy Oxides Abstract: High entropy, multi-component metal alloys (HEA), have superior mechanical properties and high radiation tolerances; which are, in part, driven by configurational entropy. Recently, an oxide analogue comprised of MgO, CoO, NiO, CuO […]

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 […]

Unboxing Quantum: Seeing the World in a Different Light
Virtual eventEveryday, the interaction between light and matter is giving us information about the world that we live in through our eyes. But the range of frequencies that our eyes are sensitive to -- visible light -- is extremely limited. How does light interact with matter on other frequencies? And how can we leverage light-matter interaction […]

Unboxing Quantum: Tiny Devices and Huge Detectors
Virtual eventTalk summary: Gravitational-wave observatories based here on Earth let us see events in space, such as black holes merging. The two LIGO observatories in the U.S. have 4-kilometer-long arms and a range of sophisticated components, and they are undergoing upgrades over the next few years to improve their performance. What does the Stewart Blusson Quantum […]
