Collaborative Brainstorm Session for Seminar Participants Description: Join us for the first of our QUIEST PhD & Postdoc Seminar Series to meet and connect with other members of the community and collectively brainstorm ideas for seminar presentations, discussions, and other activities. Sign up here for a Fall seminar slot to present or lead a...
Title: “TBA” Abstract: Atomically thin van der Waals materials provide a versatile and unique platform for exploring novel physical interactions at low dimensionality and enabling new device geometries with tunable functionalities. In this talk, I will mainly focus on our recent progress on 2D magnetic materials and low-dimensional magnetic molecules. The first part will include...
Title: “TBA” Abstract: From knotted cords to contemporary computers, the revolution in information technologies has been a major driving force of human civilization. Since its emergence in the early 1900s, quantum mechanics has played a foundational role in enabling many transformative technologies—such as lasers and transistors—that are now recognized as hallmarks of the first quantum...
