Integrated Photonics: materials, switches and careers
Abstract :You are invited to join Dr. Matthew Delaney for a technical and career presentation exploring the opportunities and challenges of the photonics integrated <a href="http://ecosystem.In" target="_blank" title="ecosystem.In">ecosystem.In the first part of the talk, Dr. Delaney will present conducted at the University of Southampton to develop and deploy new phase change materials in novel devices to create reconfigurable photonic switches, now a hot topic with the AI/data center boom. By coating a multimodal interference device (MMI) with a phase change material (PCM), and writing different pixel patterns into the PCM, it is possible to change the wavefront of the light within the MMI, enabling a fine level of control. This can be used as the basis for arbitrary photonic routing, in a small footprint and low-power <a href="http://device.In" target="_blank" title="device.In">device.In the second part of the talk, Dr. Delaney will provide a broader overview of the status and challenges of the integrated photonics field based on insights from working with some of the largest companies in the world across the whole application space, as they race to bring novel solutions to market. Join the presenter to debate where the field is heading.

Are Maxwells’ equations intimately related to the quantum vacuum?
Abstract: In the talk I will try to convince you that the answer is yes. Maxwell postulated that there can be a current of electric charges in the vacuum. This was needed to turn the equations of electrostatics into a consistent set of quations forming the basis of electrodynamics. We argue that Maxwell’s current are moving virtual elementary particles and their anti-particles in the vacuum. We are using a phenomenological model treating the vacuum as a dielectric. We find this reproduces fairly well the coefficientsand . We also formulated the story in the language of quantum field <a href="http://theory.G" target="_blank" title="theory.G">theory.G Leuchs, M Hawton and LL Sánchez-Soto, Physics 5, 179 (2023)G Leuchs, SPG Mitteilungen 70, 34 (2023)Bio : Gerd Leuchs is Director Emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen and an adjunct professor within the physics department of the University of Ottawa.

The Rise of Serverless Cloud Computing and A Journey to Enhance Its Efficiency and Sustainability
The Rise of Serverless Cloud Computing and A Journey to Enhance Its Efficiency and Sustainability
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.
