Konwersatorium/Colloquium (online) - Light-based computing 04.04.2022

On Monday, 4 APRIL, at 4.30 p.m., Jerzy Pniewski and Leopold Infeld COLLOQUIUM of the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw will take place. The meeting will be exclusively ONLINE (registration required).

Our guest will be:

prof. Michał Matuszewski,
Instytut of Physics, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw

who will give a lecture:

"Efficient optical computing with exciton-polaritons".

There are more and more suggestions that the computation of the future will utilize photons instead of, currently used, electrons. Morevoer, modern directions in information processing such, as the machine learning based on physical systems require strong non-linearities.
Exciton-polaritons being a superposition of the photon and excitation of the solid state crystal are a very promising platform in that view. The talk will highlight recent advances in photonic-based computation, in particular involving exciton-polaritons.

The abstract of the lecture can be found below this message.
