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 […]
Sabrina Leslie: Single-molecule microscopy of RNA-lipid-nanoparticles: Bringing the nanoscale physics to help advance nanomedicines
BRIM 311 2355 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaSabrina Leslie: Associate Professor, UBC Department of Physics and Astronomy and Michael Smith Labs Affiliate Faculty member, SBME, GSAT, BIONF Abstract: I will present a unique quantitative single-particle imaging platform called CLiC (Convex Lens-induced Confinement) which enables simultaneous measurements of the size, mRNA-payload, and dynamic properties of vaccine and other nanoparticles in controlled, cell-like conditions (Kamanzi et al, ACS Nano 2021). Recently relocated […]
Dr. Guosong Hong: Seeing the Sound: Optical and Ultrasonic Brain Interfaces Based on Materials Advances
BRIM 311 2355 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaDr. Guosong Hong - Stanford University Title: Seeing the Sound: Optical and Ultrasonic Brain Interfaces Based on Materials Advances Abstract: Today’s optical neuromodulation and imaging methods enable causal manipulation of neural activity to dissect complex circuit connections underlying certain behaviors and facilitate brain-computer interfaces. In these approaches, visible light is commonly used, thus limiting penetration […]
