Abstract: In order to perform some of their most important functions, cells must be able to generate, sense, and respond to mechanical forces. Many mechanosensing proteins have been discovered that are believed to change their behavior in a predictable and repeatable way when they are under mechanical tension. Yet, in most of these cases, we don't know the molecular details of how this force shifts the conformations adopted by the protein, or how this then leads to a concomitant change in function.
Lunch is provided at 12:00 pm before the talk.

On Thursday at noon (i.e. the timeslot of the condensed matter seminar) we will have a zoominar from Barislav Buca. Title and abstract are below, as is the zoom link. Please join if you are interested. Best, Rahul
Title: Eigenoperator thermalization theory
Coffee, tea and cookies will be available in G1B31 (across from G1B20) from 3:30–3:50 p.m.

We are excited to announce the first CU Phonon Club seminar of the semester. Please join us for a great talk, interesting discussion, and FREE FOOD. We are pleased to feature Dr. Ravid Shaniv from Prof. Regal's group who will be presenting their recent work. Also, we are planning on hosting two more talks this semester. Feel free to pass this email along to any others who may be interested. We hope to see you on Wednesday!
Abstract: More than one hundred years ago, exploration of the Earth's polar regions reached a fever pitch. Competition for the South Pole ultimately led to scientific discoveries whose legacy persists to the present day. Similarly, the poles of the Moon have become a new frontier for science and exploration. Perennial shadows in near-polar craters -- many of them named for famous Antarctic explorers -- remain cold enough, < 100 K, to trap water and other volatiles for billions of years. Where might these volatiles come from?
Abstract: H-bonding interactions and proton transfer processes play central roles throughout chemistry and biology. Spectroscopic studies that directly probe strong H-bonds and proton transfer reactions, however, remain a formidable experimental challenge. We aim to characterize vibrational spectral signatures and dynamics of strong H-bonds by complementing high-resolution gas-phase techniques (cryogenic ion spectroscopy) with ultrafast time-resolved solution-phase experiments (transient absorption, 2D IR).
Lunch is provided at 12:00 pm before the talk.

Abstract: Solid-state quantum emitters have attracted much attention as an integrated source of photonic and spin qubits, which are basic elements for a range of quantum applications. Recent advances in the generation, manipulation, and integration of these emitters have demonstrated a variety of quantum resources: bright quantum light sources, quantum memories, and spin-photon interfaces. In particular, controllable quantum emitters in photonic cavities or waveguides enable scalable quantum interactions between multiple photons and emitters.
Coffee, tea and cookies will be available in G1B31 (across from G1B20) from 3:30–3:50 p.m.
