SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Atomic Cluster Expansion for "Learning" Many-Body Interaction\, Christoph Ortner\, UBC
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christoph Ortner\, UBC. \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nTitle: Atomic Cluster Expansion for “Learning” Many-Body Interaction \nAbstract: The integration of machine learning (ML) into the traditional modeling workflows is replacing decades-old – often ad hoc – approximations (e.g.\, in constitutive laws) leading to new models that far outstrip their predecessors in accuracy and transferability. ”Pure” ML approaches are rarely successful but remarkable results can be achieved when integrated with domain knowledge. I will introduce a general formalism\, the Atomic Cluster Expansion\, for parameterizing many-body interaction and how it can be used for reduced-order modelling. Examples are taken from interatomic potentials\, coarse-grained MD\, and VMC.

SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Quantum Sensation: a journey through arts and quantum physics\, Catherine Deletoille\, Quantum Studio
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Catherine Deletoille\, Quantum Studio Artist from Paris\, France   \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nTitle: Quantum Sensation: a journey through arts and quantum physics \nAbstract: After a presentation of her artistic path and research\, the painter Caroline Delétoille will share some insights about the “quantum sensation” art-science project embedded at the core of her upcoming residency. This research-creation based exhibition has been developed since the end of 2023 in close collaboration with a physicist and a philosopher. Its artistic creation and exploration will continue during the residency at the QMI laboratories.

SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Advanced LIGO: building a new window to the universe with quantum matter\, Jess McIver\, UBC.
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jess McIver\, UBC. \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nAbstract: Have you ever wondered how the Advanced LIGO detectors can sense relative displacements more than 1\,000 times smaller than the width of a proton? This unprecedented sensitivity is enabled in part by thin film technology! In this talk\, we’ll tour the Advanced LIGO detectors to get a sense for how we can detect gravitational waves with laser interferometers. We’ll summarize the performance of today’s gravitational-wave detectors and what we’ve learned about the Universe with gravitational waves so far. Finally\, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of material science advances in developing future gravitational-wave detectors and unlocking the invisible Universe.

SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Efficient microwave-optical conversion mediated by color centers in silicon\, Mohammad Khalifa\, UBC
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mohammad Khalifa\, UBC \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nAbstract: Quantum networks are expected to boost the quantum technology by enabling distributed quantum computing and quantum communication. A coherent converter between microwave and optical photons could enable the creation of these quantum networks where quantum information is locally processed in the microwave regime and distributed by optical photons. I will talk about the general requirements and challenges of building a microwave-optical converter with high conversion efficiency. Then\, I will introduce our proposed magneto-optic converter\, which is based on the effective nonlinearity of an ensemble of spin-bearing color centers implanted in silicon photonic resonator and coupled to a superconducting cavity. I will discuss the physics of the system and how it can be engineered to achieve near-unity conversion efficiency.
