4/10/24 AMO/QI Seminar Jeremy Axelrod's Dissertation Celebration
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 11 am - 12 pm 375 Physics North
Please join us for this week’s AMO/QI Seminar for Dr. Jermey Axelrod’s Dissertation Celebration! Congratulations!! He will give a talk titled: A Laser Phase Plate for Transmission Electron Microscopy
Abstract:
Low image contrast is a major limitation in transmission electron microscopy, since samples with low atomic number only weakly phase-modulate the illuminating electron beam, and beam-induced sample damage limits the usable electron dose. The contrast can be increased by...

Quantum Day is intended to give high school physics students a glimpse into quantum physics and how the physics concepts they are studying in their classes relates to the research CIQC PIs and grad students conduct. The program's main purpose is to get high schoolers interested in physics. Our pilot program was with local high schools Mt. Diablo and Bayhill High School.
We aim to support and inspire URM students within this demographic who typically thrive with personal attention and new career ideas when offered job ideas that may traditionally not be prominent in their community...
