SUMMARY:Quantum Optomechanics Tutorial
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR BRAD HAUER\, INSTITUTE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING\n\nQNC b
 uilding\, 200 University Ave. Room 0101\, Waterloo \n\nJoin new IQC facul
 ty member Professor Brad Hauer for a tutorial on\nquantum optomechanics an
 d a preview of new research directions at IQC.\nThis tutorial is designed 
 for the USEQIP program to be accessible to\nadvanced undergraduates\, and 
 all IQC members are welcome (no\nregistration required).\n\nCavity optomec
 hanics\, which studies the interplay between confined\nelectromagnetic fie
 lds and mechanical motion\, has seen a flurry of\nactivity over the past t
 wo decades. In particular\, optomechanical\ndevices have had great success
  in preparing\, manipulating\, and\nobserving quantum states of motion in 
 nanoscale mechanical resonators.\nWith applications in quantum information
  and quantum sensing on the\nhorizon\, cavity optomechanical devices remai
 n an exciting prospect for\nreal-world quantum technologies\, as well as p
 robes of important\nphysical quantities on both microscopic and cosmologic
 al scales.\n\nIn my tutorial\, I will provide a brief overview of cavity\n
 optomechanics\, describing both the theoretical fundamentals and\nphysical
  implementations. Following this introduction\, I will detail a\nnumber of
  recent experiments realizing quantum effects in mesoscale\nmechanical res
 onators\, including ground state cooling and entanglement\nof their motion
 . I will also discuss how cavity optomechanics is being\nused to further o
 ur understanding of the universe through\nnext-generation dark matter and 
 gravity wave detectors. Finally\, I\nwill briefly discuss my own research 
 studying newly developed mm-wave\noptomechanical circuits and how I plan t
 o use these devices to\ncontinue advancing the field.

 ng promises to advance our computational abilities\nsignificantly in many 
 high-impact research areas. In this period of\nrapid development\, the exp
 erimental capabilities needed to build\nquantum computing devices and prot

 ic talk\, we'll discuss how to\nbuild quantum computing devices one atom a
  time using the ion-trap\napproach. We'll show how we build quantum bits o
 ut of individually\nisolated atoms\, explore how we use them to simulate o
 ther complex\nsystems\, and showcase how we're building open-access hardwa
 re to\nadvance research in this exciting field.

SUMMARY:Quantum Perspectives: Simulation
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Quantum mechanics is the most successful theory of physics\, gi
 ving us\nthe rule book to model phenomenon at the sub-microscopic scale.\n
 Knowing the rule book doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy to follow\nth
 ough. Calculating and modelling quantum systems like complex\nmolecules or
  materials is computationally demanding for modern\ncomputers. However\, b
 y mimicking the system of interest with another\nquantum system\, we can e
 xplore their properties efficiently and learn\na great deal about quantum 
 mechanics itself.

SUMMARY:Candice Harris and Rowan Thomson – Actions to advance equity\,\nd
 iversity\, and inclusion in science
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:There's growing awareness of the lack of diversity in science a
 nd the\npresence of barriers to inclusion. What factors lead to disparit
 ies\nin representation? Why should we be motivated to effect change? What\
 ncan we do to change things? Will our actions really make a\ndifference?
  \n\nThis presentation will focus on ideas to challenge the status quo 
 –\nactions to advance equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI). We will\
 ndiscuss recent research to illustrate and raise awareness of\nthe many
  EDI challenges in science\, then explore various practical\nways to tak
 e action to advance EDI. These practical actions stem\nfrom our recently
  released \"Science is For Everyone\"\nTeaching toolkit\, which provides
  an abundance of ideas to\ndiversify science education and further supp
 ort recruitment\,\nretention\, and advancement of all students. We will 
 touch on the\nimportance of diversifying content and talk about how Indig
 enous\ncontent is being brought into post-secondary science courses.\nF
 inally\, we will give an overview of other exciting science EDI\ninitiati
 ves across research and academic life.
