SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Integrated Nonlinear and Quantum Photonics with Heterogeneous III-V-on-Silicon Nitride
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96563776551?jst=2\nIn-Person: West Hall\, Room 411\n\nAbstract: Integrated photonics is revolutionizing how we generate\, manipulate\, and transmit quantum information. In this presentation\, I’ll highlight recent results on heterogeneous integration of III-V nonlinear and quantum photonic components with ultra-low-loss silicon nitride circuits\, including: (1) multiplexing arrays of quantum sources for reconfigurable multi-user quantum networking\, cryptography\, and clock synchronization\, (2) chip-scale squeezed microcombs for quantum-enhanced detectors and sensors\, and (3) low-threshold power optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers for applications requiring high gain with a low-noise figure of merit. I’ll conclude with future directions envisioned for engineering heterogeneous photonic systems in the next 5-10 years.\n\nBio: Galan Moody is a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California Santa Barbara.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging Spatial Multiomics to Understand Human Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Organ systems are composed of unique cell types that actively coordinate to enable higher order functions. Even slight deviances in the molecular or cellular states of these systems can result in debilitating disorders whose severity\, treatment course\, and overall treatment outcome vary widely from patient to patient. This level of complexity likely contributes to promising therapeutics failing within clinical trials and\, thus\, require further exploration. Thus\, the Neumann lab focuses on developing and applying multimodal imaging and profiling techniques to study complex human diseases\, such as renal cell carcinoma\, Alzheimer’s Disease\, and spina bifida. Beyond disease\, we also develop methods for spatially assessing exogenous agents\, including pharmaceuticals\, toxins\, and plastics\, within organ and whole animal models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Locality as a Design Variable at Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Interfacial function is often attributed to the few atomic layers at a boundary. For mixed-dimensional interfaces\, however\, how far that influence extends depends strongly on direction. The same boundary can act locally along one crystallographic direction and nonlocally along another\, reaching tens to hundreds of nanometers into adjoining materials. While theory has long recognized such nonlocality\, directly resolving it at functioning interfaces has remained challenging. I argue that the locality of an interface\, the distance over which its influence reaches\, is not a fixed material property but a design variable revealed by resolving the interfacial response in momentum\, space\, and time. My group achieves this using momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy\, transient absorption spectroscopy\, and time-resolved photoemission microscopy. I will discuss two case studies. In MoOCl2\, an anisotropic van der Waals crystal\, the interface extends far along one in-plane direction while remaining confined along the orthogonal one\, making a single boundary simultaneously local and nonlocal. In cobalt and iron oxides\, the balance is set instead by the material: regions of local bonding and defect trapping can dominate in one oxide\, while strain and interfacial fields carry influence across buried interfaces in another. Together\, these examples show that the role of locality at an interface can be tuned by direction\, structure\, and composition\, providing a route to engineer light–matter interactions for photocatalysis and quantum emitters.

Thompson earned his undergraduate degree in Physics from Florida State University and his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  His doctoral work with David E. Pritchard focused on comparing the masses of two trapped ions with precision better than ten parts in a trillion for testing Einstein's mass-energy relationship E=mc2.  As part of this work\, James and his colleague Simon Rainville also discovered a novel method for making non-demolition measurements of the quantum state of single molecules.  James was awarded the APS DAMOP thesis prize for this work.  James moved to the MIT laboratory of Vladan Vuletic at the MIT/Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms for his postdoctoral work\, where he developed atomic quantum memories and entangled photon sources using laser-cooled atoms.  Since moving to JILA and the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado\, James's work has focused on studying how to exploit collective and quantum effects to advance precision measurement and explore many-body physics. His work includes the demonstration of highly entangled spin-squeezed states\, the realization of superradiant lasers based on mHz linewidth transitions\, development of novel spectroscopy and laser cooling techniques\, and explorations of quantum many-body simulation and dynamical phase transitions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Spontaneous to Stimulated Emission: Quantum Optical Probes for Supramolecular Organization
DESCRIPTION:Quantum statistical properties of fluorescence emitted spontaneously in random directions underpin a variety of experimental methods for determining molecular interactions in both test tubes and biological cells. I will begin this talk with a brief overview of a method developed in my lab\, dubbed Fluorescence Intensity Fluctuation (FIF) Spectrometry\, which probes spatial fluctuations in fluorescence intensities from fluorescently labeled proteins to determine the number of subunits comprising a complex. I will then present Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Spectrometry and its application to determination of the relative distances between and orientation of fluorescent molecules within a complex via energy transfer between their transition dipoles. In the third part of the talk\, I will introduce a mathematical framework for quantization of electromagnetic fields emitted by single dipole radiators\, which predicts both the directionality of photon emission probability and light-stimulated electromagnetic wave collapse. I will conclude by presenting preliminary experimental results testing these effects. These quantum phenomena could lead to new methods for directly determining protein orientation within complexes\, complementing the spontaneous emission-based methods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Representations and Models: Probing Student Understanding via Benzene
DESCRIPTION:Studies report that organic chemistry courses have increased failure rates\, lowered retention\, and decreased student interest\, prompting a need to understand student learning difficulties in these contexts. Organic chemistry professors report that student difficulties stem from misunderstandings of fundamental general chemistry topics and the complexity of organic chemistry topics\, such as resonance and electrophilicity/nucleophilicity. One notable topic is aromaticity\, a foundational concept in organic chemistry that appears in mechanisms and processes across STEM fields and requires connecting difficult concepts like resonance and electrophilicity/nucleophilicity. In fact\, studies have shown that practicing/advanced chemists struggle with aromaticity. As such\, to promote effective learning and practicing chemists in understanding aromaticity\, both undergraduate and graduate students—from various class levels—participated in semi-structured interviews focused on 1) identifying aromatic\, antiaromatic\, and nonaromatic structures and 2) describing and defining aromatic structures and properties using models of Benzene. In these interviews\, students used various representations to draw on a range of activated cognitive resources. Using inductive and deductive coding\, researchers identified the resources and representational competence skills students invoked to discuss and describe aromaticity when given physical models of benzene. Results show that students can interpret these models with varied success\, regardless of educational level. While some students relied on memorization to interpret the models\, others used representational competence skills and discussed different uses of the various 3-D molecular models for teaching and learning aromaticity. Surprisingly\, without explicit prompting\, students discussed various limitations and affordances for these models\, dependent on the model’s design and their own content knowledge. This presentation will share student ideas\, focusing on their interpretations across multiple physical models and how electronic\, bonding\, and orbital resources shaped their discussions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition Metal Catalyzed Alkylation and Alkenylation of Olefins: New Molecular Catalysts and the Role of Lewis Acidic Oxidants
DESCRIPTION:The selective catalytic functionalization of C–H bonds of hydrocarbons remains one of the foremost challenges facing synthetic chemists. For example\, alkyl and alkenyl arenes are produced on a scale of billions of pounds per year. Current commercial catalysts (e.g.\, Friedel-Crafts or zeolites catalysts) for arene alkylation are based on acid-mediated olefin activation. New catalysts that operate by a distinct reaction pathway that involves transition metal-mediated C–H activation followed by olefin insertion into metal-aryl bonds offer potential advantages. The presentation will focus on the development and study of new transition metal catalysts for arene alkylation and alkenylation based on molecular complexes of Ru\, Rh\, Pd and Pt with an emphasis on the unexpected role of Cu(II) carboxylates that are used as oxidant.
