| Controlling Adsorption: From Free Energy Landscapes to Materials Design |
Abstract: Phase transitions, metastability, and hysteresis in porous materials remain some of the most elusive phenomena in adsorption science — difficult to predict, and even harder to control. Yet controlling them is essential: hysteresis limits the efficiency of… Show more Speaker: Dr. Filip Formalik, Northwestern University |

| O.M. Stewart Colloquium: How superconducting qubits work |
Abstract: This talk will cover the physical principles behind the winning qubit design -- the transmon -- and its derivatives. I will review the factors that limit the qubit coherence, and the ongoing efforts to mitigate them. We will also explore… Show more Speaker: Prof. Leonid Glazman, Yale University |
