Title: "New Experimental Platforms for Molecular Polaritonics" Abstract: Polaritons are hybrid light-matter states with unusual properties that arise from strong interactions between a molecular ensemble and the confined electromagnetic field of an optical cavity. Cavity-coupled molecules appear to demonstrate energetics, reactivity, and photophysics distinct from their free-space counterparts, but the mechanisms and scope of these...
Presentation by: Mridul Pushp Talk Title: "On the path to probing spins using cryogenic frequency converters and amplitude modulators based on high kinetic inductance superconducting transmission lines" Description: Quantum computing architectures utilizing microwave control lines require significant cooling power that can limit the scaling of the system. There has been a push towards...
