Andy Schramka and Peter Menart win the NDSEG fellowship
Our group members Andy Schramka and Peter Menart have recently been awarded the prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate fellowship by the Department of Defense. DoD plans to award new three-year graduate fellowships each fiscal year to individuals who have demonstrated ability...
Invited talk at CLEO 2024
Prof. Zubin Jacob will deliver an invited talk titled "HADAR: Machine perception through pitch darkness like broad daylight" at CLEO 2024. He will talk about how machine perception uses advanced sensors to collect information about the surrounding scene for situational awareness. State-of-the-art...
LIGHTING A FIRE WITH VACUUM FRICTION
ONE OF THE SURPRISES OF QUANTUM MECHANICS IS ZERO POINT FLUCTUATIONS WHICH PERVADE BOTH VACUUM AND MATTER. Far from just theoretical interest, practical consequences exist at the nanoscale when these fluctuations cause forces that attract or repel macroscopic bodies. They are also manifested at the...
IN HIGH TEMPERATURES, A NEW CLASS OF CERAMICS CONTROLS HEAT RADIATION
Manufacturers frequently use coatings to protect the structural stability of engines or power generators operating at high temperatures. Ceramic shields, however, have not been able to adequately address a critical, performance-limiting factor: heat radiation. Researchers have engineered ceramic...
EXPLOITING LOSS
Metamaterials operating at frequency ranges in which the dielectric permittivity is close to zero have been discussed for use across a wide range of optical applications. Sean Molesky and colleagues from the University of Alberta in Canada, have now proposed methods for engineering thermally excited...
Latest paper in Physical Review Applied
Our recent work on 'Limits to Quantum Gate Fidelity from Near-Field Thermal and Vacuum Fluctuations' has been published in Physical Review Applied. We develop a framework to analyze and engineer near-field thermal and vacuum fluctuations in the quantum computing hardware for achieving high-fidelity...
Quantum acceleration in adaptive modal imaging of N stars
Congratulations to Fanglin Bao for his contributed talk on “Quantum acceleration in adaptive modal imaging of N stars” which was sessioned for a virtual presentation at the 2021 #OSA Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science Conference.
Emil Wolf Outstanding Student Paper Competition
Congratulations to Ashwin Boddeti on his selection as a finalist for the Emil Wolf Outstanding Student Paper Competition at FIO2021 for the paper titled: Giant Long-Range Dipole-Dipole Interactions in a Plasmonic Lattice in the FiO 3 Quantum Electronics category. The paper talks about the...
