The CUbit Quantum Initiative presents our next speaker of the Spring 2023 CUbit Quantum Seminar Series, Professor Mikhail Lukin (Harvard). Professor Lukin will speak on Monday, May 1st at 4:00 pm in the CASE Auditorium. Coffee and cookies will be offered beginning at 3:30 pm.
Abstract: While they make up a small fraction of the material in the heliosphere, measurements of elements heavier than helium can reveal critical information about their origin from the Sun, planets, small solar system bodies, and the interstellar medium. These measurements also inform us about the processes involved in particle acceleration and transport throughout the solar system.
Lunch will be provided at 12:00pm, so please come early to eat mingle and eat lunch before the talk begins.

Abstract: I’ll show that there exists a fundamental upper limit on the electron-phonon coupling strength in metals. This, in turn, implies an upper bound on the superconducting Tc. I’ll compare these bounds with new and old experimental data and ague that our theory explains several previously poorly understood experiments, such as the observation of metastable high-temperature superconductivity in FeSe.
The first beam of helium droplets was reported in the 1961 paper Strahlen aus kondensiertem Helium im Hochvakuum by Von E. W. Becker and co-workers [1].

Synopsis: The Huttenlocher lab’s research is aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell migration and wound healing using biochemical genetic and imaging approaches. They use live imaging, biosensors and photomanipulation to examine and control polarity of cell signaling during cell migration in live animals and understand how these mechanisms are altered in tissue damage and repair.

The next CU Phonon Club seminar of the semester will be held this Wednesday, April 26th @12pm in JILA X317. Please join us for a great talk, interesting discussion, and FREE FOOD (empanadas)! Hope to see you there! Additionally, if anyone is interested in being involved in the organization of CU Phonon Club, please email: emma.nelson-1@colorado.edu.
Klaus Mølmer, one of our current Visiting Fellows, will be giving a talk on Tuesday, 4/25 at 2 pm in the JILA Auditorium. Please mark your calendars and come hear about Dr. Mølmer’s work! There will also be a reception with cake in the h-bar (3rd floor, X-wing) following the talk.
The Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC) program is hosting the annual PISEC High School Poster Symposium! We will have over 100 high school students from three different schools here presenting projects they have been working on this year under the guidance of PISEC mentors. Many of the students are from groups that are underserved and underrepresented in STEM and many will be first-generation college students.
JWST is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and is 100 times more powerful. It is 7 tons of fragile hardware operating in the Near and Mid Infrared wavelengths. The amazing images of our universe captured by JWST required many engineering feats. In her talk, Ms. Simmons describes several engineering extremes and the science that drove them.
Lunch will be provided at 12:00pm, so please come early to eat mingle and eat lunch before the talk begins.

Synopsis: The Wang laboratory works to elucidate the complex cellular mechanisms that resolve collisions, congestion, and roadblocks altering highway topology and traffic flow on busy ‘molecular highways’. The lab has also pioneered multiple methods of DNA unzipping to aid in their research.
