Lights, Camera, Photons: Understanding Quantum Information Science. BEHIND THE BEAKER IS BACK!!!! This week host Jillian Bartch talks with Zheshen Zhang — an assistant professor in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona — about his research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum information science. He studies unique quantum phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and leverages these phenomena in quantum-optics and nanophotonic platforms to implement devices and systems for quantum communications, quantum sensing and quantum computing. Listen to understand how this research could improve sensor-based systems ranging from vehicle navigation to communication and medical imaging. Behind the Beaker is a podcast about the unbelievable science and even more unbelievable scientists behind it at the University of Arizona. Weekly episodes will feature scientists from across the board. This podcast is a Daily Wildcat production created by Alexandre Pere in association with Arizona Student Media.
