New technique could improve the scalability of trapped-ion quantum computers, an essential step toward making them practically useful.
The high-tech wizardry of integrated photonics
PhD candidate Sabrina Corsetti builds photonic devices that manipulate light to enable previously unimaginable applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers.
The tiny device uses a tightly focused beam of light to capture and manipulate cells.
3Qs: Jelena Notaros on the new Silicon Photonics class within 6-5, Electrical Engineering With Computing
One of the signal changes of 6.5, Electrical Engineering With Computing, is the organization of upper-level classes into tracks, including an undergraduate engineering sequence in Electromagnetics and Photonics. Jelena Notaros, Assistant Professor in EECS, developed a new class included in that track, “Silicon Photonics”.
