Hello Birck Community, Join the Department of Physics & Astronomy on Thursday, February 26th at 3:30p.m. in PHYS 112 for a General Colloquium featuring Professor Vladimir Shalaev, Bob and Anne Burnett Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Quantum Photonics and Space-Time Metamaterials In this talk we first discuss quantum photonic integrated circuitry (qPIC) based on the recently discovered single-photon emitters in silicon nitride and the avalanche-enhanced optical modulation in silicon at single-photon intensities. Then, we show that transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) operating in the near-zero index (NZI) regime can provide strong single-light-cycle modulation, enabling novel optical phenomena in such extreme time-varying media, including photonic time crystals and 4D space-time metamaterials. Thank you, Kelli Kelli Dawson, M.Sc Operations Administrator Birck Nanotechnology Center, BRK 1027 O: 765-494-3509 C: 765-532-4519 https://birck.research.purdue.edu/ [cid:de494e0f-235b-46b0-b90f-14b43d6b668b]
