Room: MC603, 6th floor, Bldg: McConnell Engineering building, 3480 rue University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 0C3, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/442904

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. Hopefully, this will be a more interactive session where we can discuss different ideas as a <a href="http://group.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="group.Co-sponsored">group.Co-sponsored by: McGill Optica Student ChapterSpeaker(s): Dr. Matthew DelaneyRoom: MC603, 6th floor, Bldg: McConnell Engineering building, 3480 rue University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 0C3, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/442904

Data ingestion, transformation and visualization with Apache NiFi

Room: Community Room C, Bldg: Glen Abbey Community Centre, 1415 Third Line, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6M3G2

As we move towards a data oriented world, it is important for organizations to be able to collect data from multiple sources, apply business logic and transformation and extract intelligence that can help in making better decisions. Data ingestion can be based on real-time streams or batch based data. Apache NiFi is an easy to use reliable system that can be configured to ingest data from various sources, make transformations while handling multiple data formats and send data to downstream applications, dashboards or databases for consumption or display.Basically NiFi was built to automate the flow of data between systems and it performs this task very well with a browser based design. We will look at NiFi basics, architecture, data formats, a large number of functions, how it can benefit an organization, integrate data and provide ETL/ELT functionality.Speaker(s): Asaf, Agenda: 6:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section6:15PM - Presentation7:15PM - Q&A7:30PM - RefreshmentsRoom: Community Room C, Bldg: Glen Abbey Community Centre, 1415 Third Line, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6M3G2

Are Maxwells’ equations intimately related to the quantum vacuum?

Local J-1035 Pavillon J. A. Bombardier, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, Canada

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.
