Unboxing Quantum: Spooky Action
Virtual eventSpooky Action at a Distance Quantum Entanglement and Spooky Action won the Nobel Prize in physics this year. Once considered a boogieman in physicists' closets, quantum entanglement is one of the weirdest, most unintuitive phenomena in the natural world. Dubbed “spooky action at a distance” by Einstein himself, this quantum behavior puzzled scientists for years […]
CM Seminar: Dr. Tina Rost, High Entropy Ceramics: Investigating localized structural effects on emerging properties
Virtual eventSpeaker: Dr. Tina Rost Date: Thursday September 29 2022 Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 AM PST Location: Zoom Zoom Link: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/64243489212?pwd=YkFSMDdxN3Nhbm15aExBdTF6MnBvQT09 Meeting ID: 642 4348 9212 Passcode: 742838 Abstract Many properties we observe in materials are a direct consequence of their composition and local structure. High entropy materials are a unique class of systems […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
