Speaker: Dr. Marzieh Kavand of Ohio State University Title: "Studying Spin Physics in 2D Materials and Organic Semiconductors for Spintronics and Quantum Systems Applications" Abstract: Atomic size defects in solid-state materials are a material platform for spin qubits. Electrical activation of atomic size defects offers more flexibility in quantum spin devices. Tunnelling current in tunnel
Speaker: Daniel Carney (Berkeley National Laboratory) Title: Fundamental Physics at the Quantum Limits of Measurement Abstract: Progress in fundamental physics -- the search for new particles, forces, and laws of nature -- relies on probing regimes of nature that have not yet been explored. This requires continuous development of ultra-sensitive detectors. In recent years, a
Prof. Dr. Mark Srednicki will discuss Quantum Chaos and the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics, and Eigenstate Thermalization. Understanding the emergence of the rules of statistical mechanics for an isolated many-body system from an underlying quantum-mechanical microdynamics is a longstanding problem of fundamental physics.
