Sara’s CalanderTitle: Nonlinear Intersubband Polaritonic Metasurfaces: from second-harmonic generation with beam shaping to widely-tunable THz sources Abstract: Quantum-engineered intersubband transitions in n-doped multiple-quantum-well heterostructures allow one to produce semiconductor films with very large nonlinear optical response. This nonlinear response can be further enhanced by processing semiconductor heterostructures as metasurfaces in which intersubband transitions are coupled to optical modes of the metasurface …

Sara’s CalanderThe vast majority of people (including philosophers) are “compatibilists,” believing that the world is a materialist place with determinist rules yet…somehow…we still have free will. In this talk, I argue strenuously that free will is a myth, completely incompatible with how we know that the biology of behavior works. Moreover, I argue that it would be a great thing if …

Sara’s CalanderTitle: Point Defects in Crystals: Trapped Atoms for Quantum Technologies Abstract: Point defects in crystals are the solid-state analog to trapped ions. Thus these “quantum defects”, which can be integrated into solid-state devices, have gained interest as quantum sensors and qubit candidates for scalable quantum networks. In this talk, I will introduce some of the basic quantum defect properties desirable …
