SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: Johannas Pollanen
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: 154Accessibility Contact: Matthew Yankowitz\, myank@uw.eduEvent Types: Lectures/Seminars \nTitle: Hybrid quantum phononics with superconducting qubits \nAbstract: Superconducting qubits\, and the experimental architecture of circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED)\, have emerged as not only a promising platform for quantum computation but also for investigating fundamental and applied aspects of synthetic/hybrid quantum systems composed of qubits coupled to other quantum systems or degrees of freedom. In particular\, the ability to leverage the properties of superconducting qubits to investigate and manipulate phononic degrees of freedom opens the door to exploring new regimes of circuit quantum optics using high-frequency sound. Due to the intrinsically strong nonlinearity provided by the qubit\, these types of hybrid “quantum acoustic” systems have the potential to access a broad class of quantum states of motion beyond what is achievable with effectively linear optomechanical or electromechanical interactions. \nIn this talk I will describe some of our recent experimental results investigating the fundamental physics of hybrid systems based on superconducting qubits coupled to piezoelectric surface and bulk acoustic wave devices and how these systems can be used to develop next-generation technologies for quantum sensing\, computation\, and communication. As I will describe\, these engineered systems\, in which quantum information stored in the qubit can be controllably coupled to the microscopic surface and bulk phonon modes of a piezoelectric crystal\, are an ideal platform for investigating the exotic behavior of synthetic open quantum systems and phononic interference in the quantum regime. Additionally\, I will describe how these devices pave the way to exciting new technologies ranging from quantum-limited surface sensing to phonon-based bosonic quantum memories. \nBio: Prof. Pollanen leads the Laboratory for Hybrid Quantum Systems (LHQS) at Michigan State University (MSU) where his research group investigates the fundamental physics and quantum information applications of systems comprised of trapped electrons\, superconducting qubits\, color-center defects in diamond\, and two-dimensional layered materials. Prof. Pollanen holds the Cowen Distinguished Chair in Experimental Physics and also serves as the Associate Director of the MSU Center for Quantum Computing Science and Engineering (MSU-Q) and is a co-founder and board member of the Midwest Quantum Collaboratory (MQC). Additionally he is a co-founder and Chief Science Officer (CSO) of EeroQ Corporation\, which is a quantum computing startup company located in Chicago working on building a scalable quantum processor based on the spins of electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium. Before joining the faculty at MSU\, Pollanen was a IQIM Postdoctoral Scholar at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) at Caltech. Pollanen received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: Avik Som
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: 154Accessibility Contact: Matthew Yankowitz\, myank@uw.eduEvent Types: Lectures/Seminars \nTitle: Image guided biomaterials: Delivering the cure \nAbstract: Locoregional delivery of cancer therapies can dramatically increase the chance of success. However\, biologics require an ability to be “seen” by CT for accurate delivery and retention. Our group has been building these tools for the delivery to each anatomic compartment\, starting with liver and going to bone. \nBio: Dr. Avik Som\, MD\, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Radiology (Division of Interventional Radiology)\, and Material Science Engineering. He completed his B.Sc in Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University and then completed a combination MD/PhD training at Washington University in St. Louis. After medical school\, Dr. Som completed an integrated residency in interventional and diagnostic radiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. While there he did simultaneous post-doctoral training with Robert Langer and C. Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with work focused on creating image guided drug delivery for novel cancer immunotherapy\, work translated commercially to Absco Therapeutics. At SAIL\, Dr. Som leads the translation of novel material science advances for applications in interventional radiology based on his clinical practice\, with a focus on novel cancer therapeutics\, tissue engineering\, and device development. The goal of the lab is to generate new technologies inspired by the clinic and brought back to treat our patients.
