Quantum (nanoscale) probes of nanoscale (quantum) systems Dr. Benjamin Lawrie Senior Research Scientist and a Director for the Heterogeneous Quantum Systems Initiative at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Friday, April 17th @ 12:00 pm in BRK 1001 Host: Prof. Hadiseh Alaeian Email: halaeian@purdue.edu<mailto:halaeian@purdue.edu> Abstract: I will highlight three complementary efforts in quantum and nanoscale probes of nanoscale and quantum systems. In particular, I will explore opportunities for nanoscale quantum noise spectroscopies with optically accessible spin defects. I will further explore opportunities for electron-beam manipulation and measurement of excitons and single spins at the nanoscale. Finally, I will describe the manipulation of the kinetic inductance of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors through local helium ion patterning and early efforts focused on understanding the correlation between nanoscale disorder and device function enabled by scanning tunneling microscopy of patterned devices.
