These experiments\ nare now particularly relevant in the context of quantum photonics and\nth e characterization of single photon sources.\ncont.\n DTSTAMP:20250519T022529Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:682a96997731f DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20221018T170000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20221018T180000 URL:/institute-for-quantum-computing/events/informal-se minar-featuring-professor-anthony-leggett SUMMARY:Informal seminar featuring Professor Anthony Leggett\, University o f\nIllinois CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nPROFESSOR ANTHONY LEGGETT - UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS\ n\nOne of the historically earliest proposals for implementing the idea\no f (partially) protected topological quantum computing involves the\nphysic al braiding of the Majorana fermions believed to exist in\ntwo-dimensional Fermi superfluids in which the order parameter has the\nso-called chiral (\"p+ip\") symmetry. (For many years a plausible\ncandidate system was sin gle-plane strontium ruthenate\, but recent\nexperiments have somewhat mudd ied the waters). The original\ntheoretical paper on this topic (Ivanov 200 1)\, and most of the\nsubsequent literature on it\, uses the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations\,\nthereby violating the principle of conservation of to tal\nparticle number. [http://number.In] In this informal talk I will\nr eport on some work with Yiruo Lin* which inter alia attempts to\nexamine h ow far the standard conclusions continue to hold when we\ninsist on conser ving particle number.\n DTSTAMP:20250519T022529Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:682a96997792d DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20221014T143000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20221014T153000 URL:/institute-for-quantum-computing/events/seminar-fea turing-professor-richard-curry-university SUMMARY:Seminar featuring Professor Richard Curry\, University of Mancheste r CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThe ability to engineer the electrical\, optical an d magnetic\nproperties of advanced materials on the nanoscale is of increa sing\nimportance to the development of future technologies. One approach t o\nachieving this is through impurity doping\, with increased control over \nthe spatial resolution and isotopic purity enabled by the development\no f dedicated tools. In this talk the 'P-NAME' tool will be described\,\nand the underlying principle surrounding its application for the\ndevelopment of doped systems for quantum technologies including qubits\npresented. co nt.\n DTSTAMP:20250519T022529Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:682a969978026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20170922T114500 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20170922T114500 URL:/institute-for-quantum-computing/events/rac1-journa l-clubseminar-series-10 SUMMARY:RAC1 Journal Club/Seminar Series CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nPRODUCING POLARIZATION ENTANGLED STATES USING A BRI GHT SINGLE PHOTON\nSOURCE\n\n[Morgan Mastrovich]Morgan Mastrovich\, Master 's Student\n DTSTAMP:20250519T022529Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
