DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julian Léonard & Latha Venkataraman\nhosted by Mikhai
 l Lemeshko\nAbstract: Julian's Title: Assembling quantum systems atom by 
 atomJulian's Abstract: Controlling the quantum world at the microscopic le
 vel opens the door to groundbreaking discoveries in many-body physics and 
 paves the way for powerful new technologies\, such as quantum computers an
 d secure communication. A particularly promising approach to achieving thi
 s is with neutral atoms: simple\, well-understood particles that can be pr
 ecisely controlled using laser light. Thanks to recent breakthroughs\, man
 ipulating individual atoms with incredible accuracy is now possible—even
  in large\, organized arrays. In this talk\, I will introduce the key idea
 s and techniques behind this progress\, show how we can build scalable qua
 ntum systems atom by atom\, and explore the exciting possibilities this br
 ings for the future of quantum physics and technology. Latha's Title: Phy
 sics and Chemistry of Single-Molecule DevicesLatha's Abstract: The past de
 cade has seen tremendous progress in realizing molecular analogues of macr
 oscale electronic components\, such as resistors\, diodes\, switches or tr
 ansistors\, where the molecular circuit property is determined by the chem
 ical structure and physical properties of the metal-molecule-metal junctio
 n. This progress has been enabled by the scanning tunneling microscope (ST
 M)-based break-junction technique that my group has pioneered\, which faci
 litates reliable and reproducible measurements of single-molecule devices.
  In this talk\, I will first describe how we developed this technique to p
 robe fundamental properties of circuit elements created with organic molec
 ules and then give an example of how we created long and highly conducting
  molecular wires using one-dimensional molecular analogs of topological in
 sulators.
