Abstract: Modern quantum technologies depend on our ability to understand, predict, and ultimately engineer interactions between electrons, excitons, spins, and photons. In this colloquium, I will describe a method of turning quantum materials into programmable quantum systems. I will first…
Title: Inverse designed, densely integrated classical and quantum photonics Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in photonics design, along with new nanofabrication approaches and heterogeneous integration play crucial roles in building photonics for applications including optical interconnects and quantum technologies. This design breakthrough is…

Title: Prosthetic vision with a photovoltaic substitute for the lost photoreceptors Abstract: Retinal degenerative diseases lead to blindness due to loss of photoreceptors, while neurons in the inner retinal layers are still preserved. We developed a system substituting the lost photoreceptors…
Mikael RechtsmanPhysics Department, Penn State University Tile: Two experiments on aperiodic photonic crystals Abstract: Photonic crystals -- transparent periodic dielectric structures -- have been called "semiconductors for light" in the sense that photons propagate through them much as electrons propagate through…
