On Thursday, December 12, 2024, our group's work was highlighted 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 discussion focused on quantum optical effects at deep microscopic scales, covering topics such as:
-
Quantum sensing of spintronic and charge fluctuations using NV centers in diamond.
-
Transduction of optical skyrmions.
-
Computational electromagnetics of spin qubit systems.
Professor Jacob also discussed the Purdue PicoMax software, which computes the Maxwell Hamiltonian for 2D materials to analyze optical polarization at the atomistic lattice level. The talk was hosted by Andrey Sokolov from the Materials Science Division and drew interest from researchers across Argonne National Laboratory.
