Beckman and Campus Calendars

The Beckman Institute Open House will be held in person on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1. Visitors of all ages can do hands-on demos and activities, solve a science scavenger hunt, and meet the people behind world-changing scientific discoveries.

​Entanglement, the correlations displayed between sub-systems of a multipartite quantum system, is one of the most distinctive properties of quantum physics and a significant resource for quantum information science and technology. Entanglement swapping is a protocol that enables the entanglement of quantum systems that have never interacted.

Two graduate students will present their research at the fourth Beckman Graduate Student Seminar of the spring 2023 semester: Zhengchang Kou, electrical and computer engineering; and Zepeng Wang, bioengineering. The event takes place Wednesday, Apr. 5 at noon in 1005 Beckman Institute and on Zoom. Register in advance to attend in person or on Zoom.

Access Illinois is a hybrid event celebrating accessibility and inclusion at the University of Illinois. An optional lunch will be provided to in-person attendees.

Joseph DeSimone, a professor at Standford University and Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, Professor of Translational Medicine and Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, will present "Light, materials, and interfaces: The complex dance that allows CLIP-based 3D printing."

This workshop will provide the opportunity to learn more about EVs while becoming acquainted with innovative research currently underway at UIUC. The poster session will provide an informal venue for exploring collaborative efforts with colleagues. All faculty, staff, postdoctoral students, and graduate students are welcome to join us for this half-day workshop.

Brendan Harley, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, will share recent efforts at developing inclusion-focused faculty hiring practices.

Dr. Fang will describe the first observation of photon-photon interaction mediated by a virtual photon in an integrated photonic circuit with a substantial chi2 nonlinearity and the resulting quantum correlations of transported photons including photon repulsion and attraction.
