The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) helps faculty and administrators compete for and win grants that strengthen the intellectual climate and improve the learning environment at City Tech. The office provides notices of grant opportunities and works with faculty and administrators over the life-cycle of a grant – from concept development through close-out.
Place: Namm 823 April 30 at 12:00 pm Presented by Prof. Mark Hillery Faculty and students are welcome. Abstract: Quantum optics arose with the invention of the laser. Early work focussed on developing a quantum theory of the laser and on better understanding the nature of the quantized electromagnetic field. It was for this latter
Place: Namm 823 Thursday, September 17 at 12:00 PM Presented by Jim Talbert Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: I will present an updated prediction of the flux of neutrinos arising from the prompt decay of charmed hadrons formed in collisions of cosmic rays on the upper atmosphere. This 'prompt'
Place: Namm 823 Thursday, September 24 at 12:00 PM Presented by Prof. Dmitry Garanin Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: Talk reports on recent numerical investigation of the glassy behavior of random-field exchange models in three dimensions. Correlation of energy with the magnetization for different numbers of spin components has
Place: Namm 823 Date: Thursday October 22, 2015 Time: 12:00 p.m. Presented by Dr. Li Ge Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: Exciton-polaritons generated by light-induced potentials can spontaneously condense into macroscopic quantum states that display nontrivial spatial and temporal density modulation. While these patterns and their dynamics can be reproduced
Place: Namm 720 Date: Thursday October 22, 2015 Time: 12:45 p.m. Presented by Prof. Eugene Fiorini Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: Competition graphs and graph pebbling are two examples of graph theoretical-type games played on a graph under well-defined conditions. In the case of graph pebbling, the pebbling number pi(G)
Place: Namm 823 Date: Thursday, November 12 Time: 12:00 PM Presented by Dr. Richard Brierley Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: Recent progress in the field of superconducting circuits has led to the development of many different types of qubit that can be precisely controlled and monitored. The techniques
Place: Namm 823 Date: Thursday, December 3 at Time: 12:00 PM Presented by Prof. W. Vincent Liu Faculty and students are welcome, light refreshments will be served. Abstract: When interacting ultracold atoms are loaded into the metastable but long lived higher orbital excited bands of an optical lattice, would it be possible for the atoms to
The quest for the stars is an inspiring one that promises discoveries and new knowledge that has profound implications for our view of the Universe. Yet, to travel to the stars apparently requires breakthroughs in our physics and engineering knowhow. In this presentation, we examine the problem from the stand point of theoretical physics and
Abstract: In this study the entropy density and mutual information measures were used to identify the optimal interaction parameters between nanoparticles, which lead to the maximum geometric complexity of self-assembled nanostructures. A generalization of complexity measures at a finite temperature and for nonequilibrium systems is also presented. The developed theory can be used for efficient in
Place: Namm 823 Date: Thursday, March 31 2016 Time: 12:00 PM Presented by Prof. William Wootters Faculty and students are welcome. Abstract: Quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory, but the way we compute probabilities in quantum mechanics is quite different from what one would expect from, say, rolling dice or tossing coins. To get a quantum probability,
