PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Benny Davidovitch, University of Massachusetts-Amherst Dec 14, 2016, 12:00 pm Elasto-capillary Phenomena in Thin Solids: Singular Mechanics and Irregular Geometry Abstract: The wetting of solid surfaces by liquids is a classical field of research, which has been studied intensively for nearly two centuries. When the wetted solid is a thin body, new phenomena, which do not conform easily to… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Paul Fenter, Argonne National Laboratory Dec 7, 2016, 12:00 pm Imaging Solid-Liquid Interfaces - from Structure to Reactivity Abstract: Reactions between solids and liquids are critical in many aspects of the use and generation of energy, and in the nature and disposition of the associated by-products. Such reactions remain, however, poorly understood within the "inner… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 QES SEMINAR: Liang Jiang, Yale University Dec 5, 2016, 12:00 pm Quantum Control & Quantum Error Correction with Superconducting Circuits Abstract: We have developed an efficient quantum control scheme that allows for arbitrary operations on a cavity mode using strongly dispersive qubit-cavity interaction and time-dependent drives [1,2]. In… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Raffi Budakian, University of Illinois Nov 16, 2016, 12:00 pm Force-detected magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy using silicon nanowire mechanical resonators Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has had a profound impact on biology and medicine. Key to its success has been the unique ability to combine imaging with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopya… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 QES SEMINAR: Martin Suchara, AT&T Labs Research Nov 14, 2016, 12:00 pm Efficient Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing Abstract: Quantum error correction presents some of the most significant and interesting challenges that must be resolved before building an efficient quantum computer. Quantum error correcting codes allow to successfully run quantum… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Shelby Nelson, Eastman Kodak Nov 9, 2016, 12:00 pm Thin-Film Electronics by Spatial ALD: Achieving High Performance with Low Process Complexity Abstract: Patterning thin-film transistors for 'printed electronics' applications can be challenging both for resolution and for alignment accuracy. This is particularly true for high-performance devices with submicron… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 QES SEMINAR FALL 2016: John Bollinger, NIST Ion Storage Group Nov 7, 2016, 12:00 pm A Synthetic Quantum Magnet Made of Hundreds of Trapped Ions Abstract: Entanglement between individual quantum objects exponentially increases the complexity of quantum many-body systems, so systems with more than 30-40 quantum bits cannot be fully studied using conventional… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 CANCELED: PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Chris Bowman, University of Colorado Oct 19, 2016, 12:00 pm Title and abstract to follow. All seminars are held on Wednesdays from 12:00 noon-1:00 p.m. in the Bowen Hall Auditorium Room 222. A light lunch is provided at 11:30 a.m. in the Bowen Hall Atrium immediately prior to the seminar. Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Harry Atwater, California Institute of Technology Oct 12, 2016, 12:00 pm Fueling Human Progress with Sunlight Abstract: The recent rapid, global growth of solar photovoltaics has moved scientific research frontiers for solar energy conversion towards new opportunities such as i) ultrahigh efficiency (n = 30-50% and beyond) photovoltaics and ii) direct synthesis of energy-dense chemical… Location Bowen Hall Auditorium 222 PRISM/PCCM SEMINAR SERIES FALL 2016: Zahra Fakhraai, University of Pennsylvania Oct 5, 2016, 12:00 pm Measuring Long-Range Correlated Dynamics in Amorphous Systems Abstract: Nanometer-sized thin films of small organic molecules are widely used in applications ranging from organic photovoltaics and organic light emitting diodes, to protective coatings and high resolution nano-imprint lithography.
