Prof. Maria Chekhova: "Spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a liquid crystal"

Weekly seminar

25 Dec 2024

12:30

13:30

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the workhorse of quantum optics and photonic quantum technologies. It is used as a source of entangled photons, single photons, and squeezed light.

Prof. Eliahu Cohen: " Uncertainty principles and relational flow of time within quantum reference frames"

Weekly seminar

30 Jul 2024

14:30

15:30

Uncertainty relations play a crucial role in quantum mechanics [1]. On the one hand, we have shown that the locality of generalized uncertainty relations [2] gives rise to both known and hitherto unknown bounds on quantum correlations, e.g. [3-5].

Who Moved My Atom?

11 Nov 2024

An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates the transfer of atoms from one place to another through quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi and doctoral student Yanay Florshaim from the Solid State Institute, the research was published in Science Advances.

How does light propagate in integrated circuits on chips?

Researchers at the Technion are answering this question and paving the way to new applications in communication, imaging, and quantum computing. The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using..

Yuval Shagam won an ERC grant

Assistant Professor Yuval Shagam from the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry is a member of the Helen Diller Quantum Center. He focuses on understanding molecular chirality: a molecule or ion that cannot be superposed on its mirror image. Such molecules are often distinguished as either “right-handed” or “left-handed.” Molecular chirality plays a central role in many fields, ranging from reaction dynamics to drug development. Molecules of opposite-handedness, known as enantiomers, can have different smells and different medicinal properties among other things.
