Next week’s phys 10 lecture is given by Dr. Barak Shoshany, a time travel physicist, from Brock University. Dr. Shoshany uses the concepts of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to try to figure out a way to time travel to the future and to the past. I could say he could have the manual of how to become a time traveler.

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.
Talk Title: An Introduction to quantum thermodynamics
