Abstract(s):
Classical and quantum photonics with superior properties can be implemented in a variety of
old (silicon, silicon nitride) and new (silicon carbide, diamond) photonic materials by
combining state of the art optimization and machine learning techniques (photonics inverse
design) with new fabrication approaches. In addition to making photonics more robust to
errors in fabrication and temperature, more compact, and more efficient, this approach is also
crucial for enabling new photonics applications, such as on chip laser driven particle
accelerators, and semiconductor quantum simulators.
Speaker Bio(s):
Jelena Vuckovic is a professor at Stanford, where she leads the Nanoscale and Quantum
Photonics Lab. She is also the director of Q-FARM: the Stanford-SLAC Quantum Initiative.
Vuckovic has won numerous awards including the IET AF Harvey Prize, James P. Gordon
Memorial Speakership from the OSA, Humboldt Prize, the Distinguished Scholar Award from
the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship, the
Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and the Young Investigator
Awards from DARPA and the Office of Naval Research. She is a Fellow of the American
Physical Society (APS), of the Optical Society of America (OSA), and of the Institute of
Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE).
Schedule:
Colloquium will start at 3:30pm, following will be a meet and greet.
