Talk Title: An Introduction to quantum thermodynamics
Abstract:
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Institute for Quantum Computing
We are happy to be holding our third Optics and Photonics Seminar on Thursday, Dec. 2nd, at 4:00 pm. Adrian is interested in the quantum dynamics of various types of physical systems and the application of quantum effects to build new types of detectors and quantum information processors. He will be giving us a talk on quantum control of three level systems implanted using superconducting devices.

Dr. Andrew Pontzen is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Professor of Cosmology at the University College London (UCL). He obtained his PhD from the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge in 2009. His work focuses on understanding dark matter – a mysterious component of the universe that is hypothesised to drive the formation of galaxies and other structures.

Dr. Vishveshwara's research spans a broad range of topics in quantum condensed matter theory. Her group maintains active collaborations worldwide and strong ties with condensed matter and cold atomic experimentalists. Her work also interfaces with other sub-disciplines, such as with biological physics and gravitation.
Jingjing Shi is a IPMU fellow at Kavli IPMU in Japan. She investigates the interplay between large scale structure, dark matter halos, and galaxies. She got her PhD in 2017 from SISSA in Italy. Prior to joining IPMU, she was a Boya fellow at KIAA in Peking University.
Talk Title and Abstract:
Megan Donahue is a professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, Michigan. She is interested in astrophysical questions relating to intergalactic baryons, particularly those surrounding galaxies. Those questions range from cosmology and dark matter to galaxy evolution. Her PhD in astrophysics is from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Dr Jack Elvin-Poole is a postdoctoral fellow at the Ohio State's Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (CCAPP). He obtained his PhD from the University of Manchester in 2018 where he studied the large-scale structure of the universe and neutrino cosmology. His main research interests are using galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing to test the Lambda-CDM cosmological model.

Professor Tamara Davis is an astrophysicist who studies the elusive "dark energy" that's accelerating the universe.
On Wednesday, September 15, PHYS 10 will introduce Phys Club and additional information regarding Phys 10, with members of the organization committee for both present. We will present information about what is planed for the terms events, give some background context and invite a lively discussion. This will be a good chance to connect with other physics and astronomy students from all years, who are on campus and remote.
All welcome
The meeting will occur in person in AL116 and remotely on Teams through the ink below.
