BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Uğur TeğinKoç University “Exploring complex and nonlinear dynamics for photonics technologies” Abstract: Light-matter interactions provide linear and nonlinear dynamics. When low-intensity light travels through a multimode waveguide or a scattering medium, it often experiences diffraction and dispersion. However, photons and matter interact for high-intensity light propagation, and the spatiotemporal distribution…

BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Özgür E. MüstecaplıogluKoç University “Quantum Biophotonics and Ophthalmology” Abstract: You might perceive the current trend of prefixing “quantum” to various concepts as somewhat exaggerated, perhaps merely for embellishment. After all, computers operate using transistors, which adhere to quantum mechanical principles, thus inherently possessing quantum attributes. So, why the pursuit of…

BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Prof. Dr. M. Alper ŞahinerSeton Hall University*Currently Fulbright Distinguished Scholar at Gebze Technical University “Ferroelectricity in HfO2 -based Thin Films: A Local Structural Approach” Abstract: HfO2 -based ferroelectrics have become important for future applications in CMOS technology such as negative capacitance low-power field effect transistor (FET) logic, FeRAM or FeFET…

BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Dr. Hakan TüreciPrinceton University “Physical Neural Networks: Harnessing Quantum Dynamics for Learning Weak Signals” Abstract:Recent strides in machine learning have shown that computation can be performed by practically any controllable device that reacts to a physical stimulus that encodes the data. This perspective can push the boundaries of computation using…

BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Dr. Emre Ozan PolatKadir Has University “Quantum Material Integrated Optoelectronics for Disruptive Technologies” Abstract:Despite the significant progress on the wafer-based optoelectronics, providing a broad optical response with a mechanically robust and optically seamless device structure remains as an outstanding challenge. This challenge mainly hinders the realization of disruptive technologies such…

BILKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Prof. Dr. Mehmet Emre TaşgınHacettepe University “Environmental-Induced work extraction” Abstract:Entanglement can be utilized as a resource for work extraction in quantum heat engines. A Gaussian measurement in an auxiliary system reduces the engines’s entropy and the engine extracts work in rethermalizing with thee environment [1]. If there exists no intellectual…

BİLKENT UNIVERSITYDEPARTMENT of PHYSICS SEMINAR Prof. Dr. R. Tuğrul SengerDepartment of Physics, İzmir Institute of Technology “Polaronic Excitons in Lead Halide Perovskites” Abstract:Hybrid organic–inorganic lead halide perovskites are promising materials for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. In this talk, I will present temperature-dependent diffusion characteristics of photogenerated carriers in single-crystal microstructures of methylammonium lead iodide/bromide (MAPbI3…
