Meet our new faculty member: Dr. David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

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. Dr.

Technion MOOCs

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.

Spin-optics on an Atomic Scale: Chips of the Future

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.
