Raffi Budakian: Probing Novel Nanomagnetic Phenomena with Ultrasensitive Force Detection

Raffi Budakian, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Abstract

Since the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM) by Binnig, Quate and Gerber in 1986, force-based scanning probes have become an essential tool for imaging, manipulating and measuring materials on the nanometer scale. At the heart of the AFM is a mechanical sensor or cantilever that transduces the force generated between the probe tip and the sample into a displacement.

Cristopher Moore: The McEliece cryptosystem resists quantum Fourier sampling attacks

Cristopher Moore, University of New Mexico

Abstract

Since Shor's algorithm breaks RSA cryptography, it makes sense to look for post-quantum cryptosystems: cryptosystems that can be carried out with classical computers today, but which will remain secure even if and when quantum computers are built.
