Academic Writing Workshop #1

Elisabeth van Stam (UW Writing and Communication Center)

Learning to effectively communicate your research is an essential skill necessary for success within academia. Join Elisabeth van Stam (STEM Specialist) as she introduces you to the Writing and Communication Centre (WCC) services and resources that will help you successfully accomplish your research milestones.

Characterizing Single Photon Emission from Quantum Dots in Nanowires

Master's Candidate: Morgan Mastrovich

Speaker: Thomas K. Hunter and Neil Henderson

Abstract:

A lot of different concepts and possibilities have been discussed. The final session will recap those and put them in perspective, with emphasis on the relevance to a "typical" university start up and the people involved.

This is the final lecture in the CryptoWorks21 Intellectual Property (IP) Management Lunch and Learn Lecture Series. Knowledgeable speakers will give in-depth presentations that build on previous sessions.

Customising nonlinear optical sources for quantum information

Master's Candidate: Jeremy Kelly-Massicotte

What makes someone a good ally? How can you use your privilege to stand up and support others?

This presentation will delve into a practical example of a patent procedure associated to a specific quantum technology: quantum random number generator. We will explore the specifics of the technology and its applications, review previously existing approaches and define the inventive step, explore the phrasing of the claims, and revisit the prior patents from the freedom-to-operate point of view.

Last time we looked at unitary correlation sets, and obtained an analogue of Tsirelson's problem that is equivalent to the original one. In this talk, we'll see how unitary correlations can be thought of as strategies for a certain class of two-player (extended) non-local games, called quantum XOR games. Moreover, we'll see that Connes' embedding problem is equivalent to determining whether every quantum XOR game has the same winning probability in the commuting model as in the approximate finite-dimensional model.

Carbon Based Flexible and Multi-Component Self-Powered Devices

Dogan Sinar

Carbon and its allotropes have been researched intensively for their potential applications in various fields including energy storage/generation, sensor technology, and wearable electronics. Graphene and graphene oxide have especially drawn attention during the last decade due their unique electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties.

Join us at the Institute for Quantum Computing for a two-week introduction to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information processing.

During the Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) will be exposed to lectures and experiments on the following topics and more.

Quantum coherence control in an inhomogeneously broadened lambda-type solid state ensemble has been studied for quantum memories over decades. Unlike akali atoms, the optically excited spin coherence in a rare-earth doped solid is sufferred from a serious spin dephasing problem due to spin inhomogeneity. Thus, solid state quantum memory protocols such as AFC and gradient echo have been effctively demonstrated only for optical transitions, whose coherence time is far shorter than ms.
