Relativistic Quantum Information North (RQI-N) 2016
The Relativistic Quantum Information North (RQI-N) Conference, hosted by and held in the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), brought together an interdisciplinary community of researchers at the interface of quantum information science and relativity. RQI-N conferences have been the single most important platform in the field of relativistic quantum information.
Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NanoMRI) Conference 2015
The fifth Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NanoMRI) Conference, running July 27-31, 2015, brought together an interdisciplinary community of scientists and engineers researching NanoMRI. It took place at the Institute for Quantum Computing. The speakers were a select group from three communities: Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM), Optically-Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) using nitrogen vacancy (NV) center and quantum nano mechanics. Topics included:
- An overview of nanoscale microscopy technology
- Novel mechanical resonators
- Ferromagnetic microscopy
- Nanoscale NMR and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy
- Latest progress in NV magnetometry and applications of nanodiamond magnetic sensors
