Special Seminar: Dr. Adi Natan: "Ultrafast meets Real Space – a femtosecond and sub-Angstrom view of molecular dynamics"

Seminar

12 Jan 2022

12:30

Abstract Ultrafast science is one of the main arenas for scientific advancement across physics and chemistry. At the frontier of ultrafast research, X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are becoming transformative tools that enable imaging and spectroscopy at atomic length and time scales.

Dr. Uzi Pereg: "An Information-Theoretic Perspective on Quantum Repeaters"

Weekly seminar

10 Jun 2021

17:30

We consider communication over a quantum broadcast channel with cooperation between the receivers. Through this setting, we provide an information-theoretic perspective on quantum repeaters. First, we observe that entanglement resources alone do not increase the achievable communication rates.

17:30

Modern quantum algorithms with provable speedups originate historically from three disparate origins: simulation, search, and factoring. Today, we can now understand and appreciate all of these as being instances of a single framework, and remarkably, the essence is how the rotations of a single qu

Prof. Andras Gilyen: "Exponential advantage of adiabatic quantum computation with no sign problem"

Weekly seminar

27 May 2021

17:30

We demonstrate the possibility of (sub)exponential quantum speedup via a quantum algorithm that follows an adiabatic path of a gapped Hamiltonian with no sign problem. This strengthens the superpolynomial separation recently proved by Hastings.

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.
