10:15 am 11:30am 11/1/2025141 Loomis Laboratory of PhysicsWhen lead nuclei collide at near light speed in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, they create the hottest matter in the universe, the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a state that existed moments after the Big Bang. University of Illinois researchers developed radiation-hard detectors to study how this plasma forms and evolves, advancing the quest to recreate matter from the dawn of time.

10:15 am 11:30am 11/15/2025141 Loomis Laboratory of PhysicsDid you know the internet is distributed using light? A quantum network uses the smallest possible blips of light, called photons, to share information in a fundamentally different way, based on the concepts of quantum mechanics. This presentation will share the work that led to the launch of the first Public Quantum Network (PQN) at The Urbana Free Library.
