Molecular Quantum Sensors Enabled by Materials Chemistry

When
-

This century is witnessing a second quantum revolution, and quantum sensing represents an area in which chemists can make significant contributions. Achieving quantum sensing requires more than precise control of quantum states at the molecular level; it is also crucial to organize molecular qubits so that they function effectively in complex environments. In this seminar, I will discuss materials chemistry approaches to molecular quantum sensors, focusing on their extension from biological systems to engineered materials.

CUbit Seminar Series

When
-

The Will Lab studies quantum systems of ultracold atoms and molecules. The lab cools atoms and molecules to temperatures less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero, where atomic behavior is fully governed by quantum mechanics. Under these conditions, the lab controls individual quantum particles and their interactions with high precision using atomic physics tools, enabling novel platforms for many-body quantum physics, quantum simulation, quantum computing, and quantum optics.

High School Poster Symposium

When
-

We will have ~125 high school students from 4 different schools presenting projects they have completed this semester under the guidance of PISEC mentors. In addition to the poster session, we will offer lab tours for the students (12:15-1:15pm). This visit to CU and JILA will be an impactful experience for these students as they explore their interests and opportunities in STEM.

Quantum Quest: Journey to the Super Small

When
-

Join us as we take a grand tour of the tiny stuff that makes up our universe. We’ll explore the secrets of light, discover how to create brilliant colors, and learn how to control beams of energy to make lasers! Then, we’ll shrink down into the microscopic realm to see how atoms interact to build everything around us. Finally, we'll put it all together to see how this weird and wild science is shaping our future through mind-bending quantum computing and super-sensing!
