Quantum lectures
The Technion’s quantum community gathered on December 30, 2021 at Ramat HaNadiv in Zichron Yaakov
for the third annual retreat organized by the Helen Diller Quantum Center. The event was a clear success from both a professional and a social perspective.
The day-long retreat offered an opportunity for Technion students and faculty members affiliated with the Quantum Center to spend time together outside of their customary environment.
Dr. David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky is still settling into his new position at the Technion. He just returned to Israel after seven years in the U.S., where he pursued a post-doc at Harvard and then a fellowship at MIT. Originally from Mexico, Dr. Gelbwaser made Aliyah when he was 24 and completed Master’s and PhD degrees in Physics from the Weizmann Institute before moving to Boston. A distinguished theoretician specializing in quantum mechanics, he was warmly welcomed at the Technion’s Schulich Faculty of Chemistry and the Helen Diller Quantum Center.

New Podcast Featuring Quantum Experts Spurs Curiosity The Helen Diller Quantum Center recently launched PodQuantum, a podcast series designed to make people in general – and Technion students in particular – more comfortable with and curious about the field of quantum science.
Many students do not study quantum science or quantum engineering because they simply don’t understand what it actually is and why it could be useful to them.
Technion’s Helen Diller Quantum Center has recently launched a series of online mini lectures
by Technion faculty, each of which explains a different basic concept in the field of quantum science and technology.
The short lectures, which are in Hebrew, are designed to make this field more accessible to the general public and
to encourage the community at large to discover the fascinating world of quantum science.

Technion researchers develop a smart light source based on a single atomic layer of matter.
The achievement provides a platform for the development of new quantum applications for computing and communication.
Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new light source based on a single atomic layer. The discovery is based on the interaction of a single atomic layer with nano-antenna arrays in a silicon chip by creating defects in photonic crystals.
The Helen Diller quantum center awarded Scholarships & Prizes for outstanding graduate students in Quantum Science and technology.
The EMET Prize is awarded by the A.M.N. Foundation with the sponsorship of the Prime Minister for academic or professional excellence and achievements with far-reaching impact and for a special contribution to society
