[JOB OP]

Hi Melanie-Claire,

Could you please forward this announcement to the CNF user community about our search of an undergraduate student to work with me on a project?

"The Hormozi lab (https://hormozi.cbe.cornell.edu/) is offering a research experience for undergraduate students who are CNF users. The project focuses on the production, with photolithography, of SU-8 particles in a controlled ring shape for application in the rheology of dense suspensions.

Real-life dense suspensions can be found in industries as varied as civil or medical engineering and are composed of solid particles of varied shapes. However, the usual fundamental models that try to describe their rheology assume, for convenience, that the particles are perfect spheres. While the effect of the particle shape should be purely geometrical, efforts towards deepening our understanding of such flows are met with major difficulties both for numerical simulations and experiments. In experiments, the main obstacle lies in one’s ability to produce particles of a specific shape with accuracy and in large quantities, as well as finding a shape that allows for a systematic investigation of this geometrical effect. In the Hormozi lab and with the help of CNF staff, we designed a way to produce a million ring-shaped particles in about a day’s work using photolithography with very reproducible features. Using only rings of different ratios between their inner and outer radius, we will be able to map the effect of virtually any other shape.

The undergraduate student joining the project will be teamed up with Jonathan Lalieu, post-doctoral researcher in the Hormozi lab focusing on this project. They will learn more about the experimental skills and tools needed to produce the ring-shaped particles, their characterization, and the rheology of a suspension made from them. Working closely with Jonathan, they will be provided with appropriate literature on the matter and included in group discussions to broaden their scientific interest, knowledge, and problem-solving skills.

While this work is experimental, it is included in a broader project on the rheology of ring-shaped particles with theoretical and numerical components, providing a large overview of research work. Involvement in the research project can be rewarded through wages or course credit.

Submit your application by sending a CV and a short letter describing your motivations/research interests (no need for a formal cover letter) to Jonathan Lalieu with the subject “Undergraduate application [Name of applicant]”

Thanks a lot!

2023-2024 CNF Research Reports Due Monday July 8th

Jun Mon 2024

TO: All CNF Principal Investigators and Users
FROM: Chris Alpha and Michael Skvarla
RE: 2023-2024 CNF Research Reports Due Monday July 8th

Dear friends and colleagues:

It is time once again to plan for the Cornell NanoScale Facility Research Accomplishments (CNF RA).

As you may recall, one of the requirements of using the CNF for your research is the submission of an annual technical report. It is extremely important that we receive complete and interesting reports from all users and all projects.

The CNF RA is distributed to the National Science Foundation, industrial affiliates, visitors, potential users and sponsors. Therefore it is our primary technical CNF publication.

This book is also a crucial method of conveying research highlights to NSF -- so the book must contain a comprehensive summary of our user discoveries, technologies, publications and accomplishments.

By Monday, July 8th, we need a TWO PAGE TECHNICAL REPORT from each User (or small User Group working on the project). Please read and follow the detailed instructions carefully!

If you have not yet achieved research results, should be terminated as a user, or your project should be terminated, please contact Michael Skvarla, User Program Manager, cc'd here.

May 9 (Thursday), 2024
11:30 am – 12:30 pm (EDT)

“Quantum Error Correction with GKP States in Superconducting Circuits”

by: Dr. Nicholas Frattini
Quantum Hardware Lead, Nord Quantique

Zoom Pre-Registration required by May 8, available here
https://ny-creates.org/etss/

Abstract: Improving quantum error correction schemes is a central challenge in developing fault-tolerant quantum processors. A high-quality bosonic mode controlled by an auxiliary nonlinear element has proven to be a valid candidate to replace the standard two-level-system approach with a hardware efficient approach. Following the visionary proposal of Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP), Nord Quantique has recently prepared, error-corrected, and measured these GKP grid states within a single mode and shown that the logical qubit lifetime increases when error corrected. This presentation explores quantum error correction with GKP states, demonstrating how advancements in device fabrication enable quantum error correction processes to correct more errors than they introduce.

Biography: Dr. Nicholas Frattini received his PhD from Yale University in 2021 for his work on three-wave mixing with superconducting circuits under the supervision of Michel Devoret. As a postdoc, he also worked on microwave-to-optic transduction with Konrad Lehnert and Cindy Regal at JILA in Boulder, Colorado before joining Nord Quantique’s Quantum Hardware team to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum error correction. He has worked on simultaneously stabilized superpositions of coherent states—so-called Schrödinger’s cat states—to form a protected Kerr-cat qubit. It’s one of only a handful of devices to ever enhance the lifetime of encoded quantum information beyond the lifetime of its individual components.

[EDS TODAY!]

"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.
