"Quantum Sensing of Quantum Matter"
Speaker:
Prof. Amir Yacoby
(Harvard University)
Abstract:
Major scientific discoveries are often
enabled by new measurement capabilities
that provide novel perspectives into
complex physical problems. Recent advances
and discoveries made on quantum materials
have challenged experimentalists
to come up with new ways to probe their
intrinsic properties. In this talk
Yacoby will discuss some of the recent
work he has carried out to develop
a variety of new local quantum sensing
techniques and discuss how they can
assist us in exploring quantum matter.
About the Speaker:
Amir Yacoby is a Professor of Physics and
Applied Physics at Harvard University.
He received his bachelor’s degree in the
field of Aerospace engineering and then transitioned into Physics. Following a
Master’s degree in theoretical Physics,
Yacoby received his PhD in experimental
condensed matter physics in 1994
from the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Professor Yacoby is a member of the
National Academy of Science, a member of
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fellow of the American Physical
Society, member of the American
Academy for Advancement of Science and an
external member of the Max Planck Society. Professor Yacoby works to develop
new experimental techniques
to explore quantum matter and uses these
techniques to obtain new insights
into their underlying quantum mechanical
properties.
