Mapping quantum structures with light to unlock their capabilities![]() A new tool that uses light to map out the electronic structures of crystals could reveal the capabilities of emerging quantum materials and pave the way for advanced energy technologies and quantum computers. [Full Story] |
Light could make semiconductor computers a million times faster or even go quantum![]() Professor Mackillo Kira is working on a technique to manipulate electrons with light that could bring quantum computing up to room temperature. [Full Story] |
Ultrashort light pulses for fast ‘lightwave’ computers![]() Extremely short, configurable “femtosecond” pulses of light demonstrated by an international team could lead to future computers that run up to 100,000 times faster than today’s electronics. Prof. Mack Kira showed that we can control the peaks within the laser pulses and also twist the light. This is a step toward so-called “lightwave electronics” and, in the more distant future, quantum computing. [Full Story] |
New Courses Offered by ECE: Winter 2017![]() As technology changes and advances, so does the range of courses offered by our faculty. The following courses being offered to students for the Winter 2017 term include completely new courses as well as nearly-new courses that may soon become a regular part of the curriculum. They are all being offered by faculty uniquely qualified to teach the courses. The faculty bring extensive experience based on their own research in these areas. [Full Story] |
