This is the fifth of the Intellectual Property (IP) Management Lunch and Learn Lecture Series. We are bringing in thought leaders in the protection and management of intellectual property, including many years of experience in relevant areas of information technology.

This session will be led by Neil Henderson.

Carbon nanotube forest from energy conversion to MEMS devices and a laser based single sub 10nm particle analyzer: new developments in nanotechnology

​Mehran Vahdani, The University of British Columbia

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, so called CNT forests, have unique properties that make them excellent candidates in a wide variety of applications ranging from nanotechnology to electronics and photonics.

The mathematics of non-local games

William Slofstra, Institute for Quantum Computing

Non-local games are an important subject in quantum information. They provide relatively simple experimental scenarios for testing the axioms of quantum mechanics, and have been proposed for other practical applications, especially in device-independent cryptography. However, we do not know how to answer many of the basic mathematical questions about non-local games.

Quantum error-correction in black holes

Beni Yoshida, Perimeter Institute

It is commonly believed that quantum information is not lost in a black hole. Instead, it is encoded into non-local degrees of freedom in some clever way; like a quantum error-correcting code. In this talk, I will discuss recent attempts to resolve some paradoxes in quantum gravity by using the theory of quantum error-correction.

Atomic scale study of Dirac materials: graphene and topological insulator (Bi2Se3)

Ying Liu

Graphene and topological insulator Bi2Se3 are newly discovered Dirac materials with exotic physical and electronic properties. The molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and in situ characterization at atomic scale of the materials are demonstrated in this talk[1][2]. Artificial defects of graphene are created by Ar for extending its functions. Their structural, electronic properties and charge state were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and q-plus atomic force microscopy (q-plus AFM ), respectively.

Quantum experiments exploiting the radiation pressure interaction between light and matter

Simon Gröblacher, Delft University of Technology

Mechanical oscillators coupled to light via the radiation pressure force have attracted significant attention over the past years for allowing tests of quantum physics with massive objects and for their potential use in quantum information processing. Recently demonstrated quantum experiments include entanglement and squeezing of both the mechanical and the optical mode.
