Prof. Dan Oron: “Quantum enhanced microscopy”

The microscope was conceived as a “classical” instrument, long before the dawn of quantum mechanics. Similarly, the resolution limit of the microscope was derived by Ernst Abbe in 1873, implicitly assuming the wave nature of light.

Dan Oron: “Superresolution optical microscopy based on attributes beyond the intensity of light”

The Abbe derivation of the diffraction limit relied on several assumptions, either implicit or explicit. Breaking these has allowed for far-field superresolution imaging, culminating in the Nobel prize in Chemistry of 2014.

Prof. Colin Ophus (Stanford): "Simulation Methods for High Energy Electron Scattering Experiments"

Simulation methods are important both to help interpret electron scattering experiments, and to design and test new experimental methods. In this tutorial, I will cover a wide range of numerical simulation methods.
