Weekly seminar

19 Feb 2025

12:30

13:30

Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) has now become the paradigmatic example of the topologically nontrivial impact of loss or gain in optical and condensed matter systems.

Raam Uzdin from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ""End-to-end quantum error mitigation of dynamic circuits in quantum computers"

Weekly seminar

Unlike quantum error correction, which involves real-time correction of errors in quantum circuits, quantum error mitigation (QEM) is a family of techniques that utilize multiple variants of the original noisy circuit to eliminate noise in post-processing.

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.

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.
