Prof. Sasha Efros: "Semiconductor Nanocrystals: from discovery to modern development"
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 was awarded to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Ale-ksey I Ekimov "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots”.
25 Dec 2024
Prof. Maria Chekhova: "Spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a liquid crystal"
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the workhorse of quantum optics and photonic quantum technologies. It is used as a source of entangled photons, single photons, and squeezed light.

Doron Naveh: "Two-Dimensional Materials: From Synthesis to Devices and Applications"
The fast evolution of technological advancement drives materials and device research with a demand for ever-faster, energetically efficient, compact electronic devices.
10 Jul 2024
Miri Blau, Columbia University: "Scaling Beyond 2 Mode interactions in Quantum Photonic Systems"
Superposition and entanglement are fundamental features of quantum systems.
05 Jul 2023
Prof. Jeffrey D. Rimer: "New Paradigms for the Prevention of Pathological Crystallization"
An efficient method to inhibit pathological crystallization is the identification of modifiers, which are (macro)molecules that reduce the rate of crystal growth.
