"Nanoscale Electronic Devices Probe Topology: Direct Observation of Anyonic Braiding Statistics"
Dr. Michael Manfra (Purdue Univ)
Date: Friday, April 19th, 2024
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Location: Phillips 233
Zoom link available
Lunch provided
Abstract: A basic tenet of quantum theory is that all elementary particles are either bosons or fermions. Ensembles of bosons or fermions behave differently due to differences in their underlying quantum statistics. Starting in the early 1980’s it was theoretically conjectured that excitations that are neither bosons nor fermions may exist under special conditions in two-dimensional interacting electron systems. These unusual excitations were dubbed "anyons." Anyons possess fractional charge and fractional statistics, however directly probing these properties presents experimental challenges. Electronic transport in small devices was proposed to measure the properties of anyons. This lecture will focus on the development of electronic Fabry-Perot interferometers that resulted in the first direct observation of anyonic braiding statistics in the fractional quantum Hall state at ν=1/3. These experiments have now been extended to the more fragile multi-edge-mode hierarchy state at ν=2/5. The important connection between innovations in device technology and discovery of new physics is emphasized.
Bio: Michael Manfra is the Bill and Dee O’Brien Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Professor of Materials Engineering, and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He serves as Scientific Director of Microsoft Quantum Lab West Lafayette. Mike received his A.B. from Harvard in 1992 and PhD from Boston University in 1999. Mike spent 2 years from 1998 to 2000 as a Postdoctoral Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies and in 2001 he was promoted to Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories where he conducted research in low-dimensional semiconductor systems. After 10 years at Bell Labs, Manfra joined Purdue in 2009. Mike was a Keck Foundation awardee in 2013, was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2015, and in 2016 became the Scientific Director of Microsoft Quantum Lab West Lafayette. Manfra and his team of approximately twenty researchers develop new material platforms and nanoscale electronic devices to explore fundamental aspects of the interplay of topology and strong electronic correlations. In 2020, his group reported interferometric measurement of anyon braiding, giving experimental evidence for a theoretical prediction made 40 years earlier.

2024 Finger Lakes Science and Technology Showcase
Date: April 25, 2024
Time: 8:30 AM – 5 PM
Location: Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave, Rochester, NY 14607
Agenda
The Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences and the Center of Excellence in Data Science at the University of Rochester are pleased to announce this year’s Finger Lakes Science and Technology Showcase.
"Imaging in the Age of AI"
How artificial intelligence is changing computer imaging and what it could mean for the Rochester economy.
About the Showcase
Artificial Intelligence is being used in a wide range of technologies and in almost every sector of the economy. AI, combined with traditional forms of computer imaging, is revolutionizing the way images are captured, processed, analyzed, and displayed, ushering in the age of intelligent imaging. AI-enabled medical imaging, for example, can improve diagnostics and help bring leading edge radiological capabilities to rural and underserved populations. The Showcase this year will highlight various aspects of intelligent imaging and what it could mean for the Rochester economy. Learn more on our website.

"Philanthropic Funding of Scientific Research"
While a lot of funding of academic labs comes from Federal government agencies, philanthropies are playing an increasingly important role in supporting the scientific enterprise. The mission, goals, and administration of philanthropies are, however, quite different from organizations like the NSF and DOE. This webinar will bring together a panel of experts with extensive experience at philanthropies. We will host a 30-40 minute discussion about the landscape of philanthropic funding for scientific research, followed by ample time for questions from the audience.
Panelists:
Evan Michelson, PhD (Program Director overseeing the Energy and Environment Program at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)
