Montréal Quantum Photonics Seminar SeriesAbstract: When a pulse of light traverses a material, it incurs a time delay referred to as the group delay. Should the group delay experienced by photons be attributed to the time they spend as atomic excitations? However reasonable this connection may seem, it appears problematic when the frequency of the light is close to the atomic resonance, as the group delay becomes negative in this regime. To address this question, I used the cross-Kerr effect to probe the degree of atomic excitation caused by a resonant transmitted photon by measuring the phase shift on a separate beam that is weak and off-resonant. These results, over a range of pulse durations and optical depths, are consistent with the recent theoretical prediction that the mean atomic excitation time caused by a transmitted photon (as measured via the time integral of the observed phase shift) equals the group delay experienced by the light. Specifically, I measured mean atomic excitation times ranging from (−0.82 ±0.31)τ0 for the most narrowband pulse to (0.54 ±0.28)τ0 for the most broadband <a href="http://pulse.I" target="_blank" title="pulse.I">pulse.I report these times normalized to the non-post-selected excitation time τ0, which is equal to the scattering (absorption) probability multiplied by the atomic lifetime τsp. These results suggest that negative values taken by times such as the group delay have more physical significance than has generally been <a href="http://appreciated.Bio:" target="_blank" title="appreciated.Bio:">appreciated.Bio: Daniela Angulo is a physicist from Colombia who recently completed her PhD at the University of Toronto, focusing on experimental light-matter interaction.

Now-a-days antennas have become an integral and important part of almost any wireless communication system. In the field of antenna engineering, theoretical analysis is of paramount importance in understanding the basics of the antenna radiation characteristics. While the basic concept of antennas is well known, closed form, exact analytical solutions to many antenna problems are not practical and impossible in many cases. Advances in electromagnetic (EM) simulations have significantly impacted the antenna design process by providing exact solutions by solving Maxwell’s equations using numerical methods. It is a common practice now in academia and industry to use various commercially available EM simulation tools for antenna design process. In this talk, we will introduce basics of antenna modeling and simulation process with pros and cons of various numerical methods, such as Method of Moments (MoM), Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM), Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), Physical Optics (PO), Ray Lunching Geometrical Optics (RL-GO), and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). We will then discuss modeling and simulation of various antenna types, starting from simple configurations such as dipoles and loops and eventually leading to more complicated and practical designs such as microstrip patches and high-gain reflector <a href="http://antennas.This" target="_blank" title="antennas.This">antennas.This webinar will be followed by a second webinar on December 9th (2PM Eastern) with live demonstrations of Feko for antenna simulations by Mr. Gopi Gampala, Senior Member IEEE, Manager Global Technical Team, Altair.

Detection of zeptojoule terahertz pulses for 6G <a href="http://technologies.Abstract:We" target="_blank" title="technologies.Abstract:We">technologies.Abstract:We review efforts made at the Ultrafast Terahertz Lab at the University of Ottawa under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Michel Ménard and Dr. Angela Gamouras (NRC) towards demonstrating a high-sensitivity room-temperature detection scheme for terahertz (THz) radiation. This approach is based on nonlinear optical frequency conversion of THz to near-infrared (NIR) frequency. The upconverted NIR photons are spectrally resolved using a monochromator and detected using a commercial single-photon detector sensitive in the NIR. We detect THz pulses with energies as low as 1.4 zJ (10-21 J) which corresponds to 1.5 photons per pulse at a frequency of 2 THz when averaged over only 50,000 pulses. The development of such high-sensitivity detection schemes will pave the way towards room-temperature THz single-photon detection, THz quantum technologies and wireless communications. We explore the THz band as a possible solution to meet the ever-growing demand of high data transfer rates for sixth and next generation (6G) wireless communications. At these frequencies, one of the disadvantages is strong absorption due to water vapour. However, we have identified seven bands with high spectral transmission between 1 THz and 3 THz under normal atmospheric conditions. We classify these bands into three categories based on the THz propagation distance for different applications: 1. Short, 2. Mid and 3. Long-range <a href="http://communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Détection" target="_blank" title="communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Détection">communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Détection d'impulsions térahertz zeptojoules pour les technologies 6G.Résumé :Nous passons en revue les efforts déployés au laboratoire Ultrafast Terahertz de l'Université d'Ottawa sous la supervision du professeur Jean-Michel Ménard et de la Dre Angela Gamouras (CNRC) pour démontrer un système de détection à haute sensibilité à température ambiante pour le térahertz (THz). Cette approche est basée sur la conversion de fréquence optique non linéaire du THz en fréquence proche infrarouge (NIR). Les photons NIR convertis sont résolus spectralement à l'aide d'un monochromateur et détectés à l'aide d'un détecteur commercial à photon unique sensible dans le NIR. Nous détectons des impulsions THz avec des énergies aussi faibles que 1,4zJ (10-21 J), ce qui correspond à 1,5 photons par impulsion à une fréquence de 2 THz en moyenne sur seulement 50 000 impulsions. Le développement de tels systèmes de détection à haute sensibilité ouvrira la voie à la détection de photons uniques THz à température ambiante, aux technologies quantiques THz et aux communications sans fil. Nous explorons la bande THz comme solution possible pour répondre à la demande toujours croissante de débits de transfert de données élevés pour les communications sans fil de sixième et prochaine génération (6G). A ces fréquences, un des inconvénients est la forte absorption due à la vapeur d'eau. Cependant, nous avons identifié sept bandes à transmission spectrale élevée entre 1 THz et 3 THz dans des conditions atmosphériques normales. Nous classons ces bandes en trois catégories en fonction de la distance de propagation THz pour différentes applications : 1. Communications courtes, 2. Moyennes et 3. Communications longue portée.Eeswar Kumar Yalavarthi Aswin Vishnu RadhanAbout / A proposThe High Throughput and Secure Networks (HTSN) Challenge program is hosting regular virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing, discussions, and interactions between <a href="http://researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe" target="_blank" title="researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe">researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe programme Réseaux Sécurisés à Haut Débit (RSHD) organise régulièrement des séries de séminaires virtuels pour promouvoir le partage d’informations scientifiques, les discussions et les interactions entre <a href="http://chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored" target="_blank" title="chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored">chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored by: National Research Council, Canada. <a href="http://Optonique.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="Optonique.Speaker(s):">Optonique.Speaker(s): Eeswar Kumar Yalavarthi, Aswin Vishnu RadhanVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/444952

Introduction to IEEE IAS- Industry Applications SocietyDetails comingSpeaker(s): , Nehad57 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Abstract:Serverless computing has gained significant traction in the past few years. Removing most of the provisioning burden from the shoulders of developers, offering a pay-per-use pricing model, and accelerating deployment of scalable applications are some of serverless's unique attractions. These operational benefits come with efficiency costs, making serverless up to 15x more energy-hungry than native execution. In this talk, the speaker will explore the architectural trade-offs in serverless platforms and share insights from their six-year research journey on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of serverless computing <a href="http://systems.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="systems.Speaker(s):">systems.Speaker(s): Mohammad ShahradVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435828

Notable examples include alternative waveforms, massive multiple-input multiple-output signaling, non-orthogonal multiple access, joint communications and sensing, AI-empowered systems, and so on. In this context, 6G wireless networks will inevitably require a rethinking of wireless communication systems and technologies, particularly at the physical layer, since the cellular industry reached another critical milestone with the development of 5G wireless networks with diverse applications. Within this perspective, first, this talk aims to shed light on the most recent developments in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication towards 6G and beyond wireless networks by discussing promising candidates for future research and development. Specifically, we emphasize different RIS architectures and emerging RIS use cases. Second, taking RIS-based radio frequency chain-free transmitters one step further, we put forward the paradigm of noise-driven communication. We discuss the potential of noise-driven communication systems for three purposes: low/zero-signal-power transmission by indexing resistors or other noise sources according to information bits, noise-alike waveform/modulation design for improved communication efficiency, and unconditionally secure key generation using noise-based <a href="http://loops.Biography" target="_blank" title="loops.Biography">loops.Biography -[]Prof. Ertuğrul Başar received his Ph.D. degree from Istanbul Technical University in 2013.
