RAC1 Journal Club/Seminar Series

An introduction to making scientific figures with Illustrator and Blender

Special guest speaker: Christopher Gutierrez, University of British Columbia

Scientific research can be a slow and laborious process. The absolutely final step in the process is to then communicate your exciting scientific findings to other scientists both in and outside of your field. Yet it is often at this final step where the least amount of time is spent.

Un nouveau capteur quantique pourrait améliorer le traitement de cancers et l’imagerie 3D à longue portée

Un nouveau capteur quantique mis au point par des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique de l’Université de Waterloo (IQC) montre qu’il peut surclasser les technologies existantes et promet des progrès importants dans l’imagerie 3D à longue portée et le suivi du traitement de cancers.

Un capteur quantique de la prochaine génération

Travaillant sous la direction du professeur Michael Reimer, des chercheurs de l’Institut d’informatique quantique (IQC) ont mis au point un nouveau capteur quantique ayant recours à des nanofils semiconducteurs qui peuvent détecter rapidement et efficacement des particules individuelles de lumière sur une gamme sans précédent de longueurs d’onde allant de l’ultraviolet à l’infrarouge proche.

The next generation quantum sensor

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), led by faculty member Michael Reimer, have developed a new quantum sensor based on semiconductor nanowires that can detect single particles of light with high speed, timing resolution and efficiency over an unparalleled wavelength range, from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

Ultrastrong and Cooperative Light-Matter Coupling

Junichiro Kono, Rice University

Recent experiments have demonstrated that light and matter can mix together to an extreme degree, and previously uncharted regimes of light-matter interactions are currently being explored in a variety of settings, where new phenomena emerge through the breakdown of the rotating wave approximation [1]. This talk will summarize a series of experiments we have performed in such regimes.

"Quantum-assisted" magnetic resonance across length scales

Ashok Ajoy, University of California, Berkeley

The development of atom-like quantum sensors in wide bandgap materials, for instance Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, has thrown up exciting new possibilities for the sensing of materials, molecules and biological systems through optical means. In particular I will describe the development of “quantum-assisted” magnetic resonance probes based on the NV center that allows sensing of nano- and meso-scale volumes at high spatial and frequency resolution [1,2].
