Hello Birck Community, 

Join the Department of Physics & Astronomy on Thursday, February 26^th 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
