Quantum group seminar:Beyond the diffraction limit in optical microscopy and lit
Abstract: In optical microscopy and lithography, the resolution is restricted to about half the wavelength of the light by something called the diffraction limit. Many attempts have been made to adva...

Topological order, Entanglement, and Quantum Memory
Abstract: Topological orders describe novel states of matter that cannot be described in terms of symmetry and local order parameters. They feature degenerate, topologically protected ground states t...

Quantum Journal Club: Chip-Scale Nanofabrication of Single Spins and Spin Arrays
Abstract: We demonstrate a technique to nanofabricate nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond based on broad-beam nitrogen implantation through apertures in electron beam lithography resist. This me...

Quantum Journal Club: Generation of spin-motion entanglement in a trapped ion us
Abstract: Applying a magnetic eld gradient to a trapped ion allows long-wavelength microwave radiation to produce a mechanical force on the ion's motion when internal transitions are driven. We demon...
