On Thursday, December 12, 2024, the research of our group was featured at the Argonne National Laboratory's Materials Science Division/Hybrid Colloquium. Professor Zubin Jacob, Elmore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Department of Physics, presented a talk titled "Microscopic effects in quantum optical materials."
The presentation focused on quantum optical effects at the microscopic scale, addressing several key topics:
-
Quantum sensing of spintronic and charge fluctuations with NV centers in diamond.
-
Transduction of optical skyrmions.
-
Computational electromagnetics of spin qubit systems.
The talk also included a discussion of the Purdue PicoMax software, which is utilized to compute the Maxwell Hamiltonian for 2D materials to analyze optical polarization at the atomistic lattice level. The colloquium was hosted by Andrey Sokolov from the Materials Science Division and was attended by researchers from various departments within Argonne National Laboratory.
