Ion Trapping

Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams

Roland Marrero, Post-Doctoral Fellow, IQC

Quantum physics promises a large enhancement in the performance of some next-generation devices, like sensors and computers. Such improvements help coping with the ever-more demanding tasks that we, the users, want them to carry out. Trapped ions offer a mature platform for diverse quantum applications, but this scheme, like any other, is limited by state-of-the-art technology and the imagination of the experimentalists.

Everything a physics degree allows you to do that you didn't think it could

Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams

Sankarshan Mudkavi, Paytm Labs

A physics degree helps you in the real world in very unexpected ways, whether you're starting your company, building a product, understanding market economies or new technologies (like cryptocurrencies). I will go through how my degree helped me do exactly those 4 things and why I had a much easier time dealing with things completely out of left field where it wasn't my depth of knowledge that mattered but the experience of just reducing problems to their most fundamental aspects.

Photons in Space: the Next Frontier!

Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams

Katanya Kuntz, Institute for Quantum Computing

These are the voyages of Canada's first Quantum Satellite Mission - the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). Its upcoming mission: To explore strange new physics, and enable secure communication across Canada and around the world. To seek out new discoveries and new ways to communicate... To boldly send photons where none have gone before!
