Palestra | Sources and diagnostics for attosecond sciencePalestra | 15 novembro 2023 às 14:30

Cord Arnold, Lund University Abstract: In view of the recent prize for the generation and characterization of attosecond pulses, I will start by briefly reviewing the history of the attosecond science field since the first observation of high-order harmonic generation in the end of the 1980ies to today. Progress in attosecond science has always been …

CFP Seminar | Simulation of Diffusive Mesoscopic Transport in Disordered Nanoribbons | 9 de novembro às 13:30

Abstract: Electron propagation across a disordered two-dimensional conductor isrecognized to go from ballistic to localized through a middle stage of diffusive transport where a local conductivity can be defined. I will start by reviewing some key aspects of numerical mesoscopic quantum transport simulations. A strong emphasis on the Landauer approach will be given since it provides a very clear distinction between …

Palestra – Uma Introdução à Computação Quântica: da máquina de Turing ao sycamore

A mecânica quântica é uma das teorias científicas mais bem sucedidas da História. Desde a sua criação, permitiu explicar e prever fenómenos naturais tão diversos como o espectro atómico, o magnetismo ou estrelas de neutrões. Recentemente, o progresso experimental veio a tornar possível manipular átomos e fotões individuais, prepará-los em estados precisos e controlar a …

Palestra: Information and The Physics of Life

Resumo: More than 70 years ago Erwin Schrödinger wrote “What Is Life” which attempted to outline what a “physics of life” might look like.  Today it is recognized that, to some degree, it is the use of information which sets life apart from other physical systems. In this talk I will review recent progress in …
