“Topological photonics and non-Hermitian optics with the synthetic frequency dimension” by Prof Luqi YUAN on Monday, May 20, 2024, 11:00 am CYMP 522, HKU

Over the past few years, synthetic dimensions in photonics have been rapidly developing
and generating significant interest. By utilizing different degrees of freedom of light,
synthetic dimensions can be constructed. This seminar will focus on the creation of a
synthetic frequency dimension in dynamically modulated ring resonator systems.
“High Energy Physics Opportunities in the Quantum Computing Era” by Prof Ying Ying LI on Thursday, May 16, 2024, 4:00 pm CYMP 522, HKU

Quantum simulation of High Energy Physics (HEP) has seen remarkable growth in
recent years. Nevertheless, there is a continuous need for advancements in the overall
simulation framework. In my talk, I will first motivate the critical need for quantum
computing in HEP and discuss recent developments.

HKIQST Distinguished Visitor Series by Prof. Xian-Min JIN “The Era of Photonic Chip” on Tuesday, 23 April 2024, 10:30 a.m. CYMP 525, HKU

As the era of quantum computing and artificial intelligence
gradually approaches, the demand for photon chips is rapidly increasing,
making it the next fiercely contested high ground. No country in the world has
yet built a complete photonic integration ecosystem, which provides a
significant opportunity for China to take the lead in the post-Moore era.
Introduction to Superconductivity

This series of lectures are intended for interested undergraduate and graduate students. They
cover the fundamental aspects of classic superconductors and their explanations in terms of
the BCS theory of superconductivity.
