INSTITUTIONAL SEMINAR
Seminar on Quantum Control at the Atomic Level
The Institute for Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT CONICET - UNNE) successfully held its Institutional Seminar on Thursday, April 24, as part of the activities organized for the International Year of Quantum Sciences and Technologies.
The event featured the distinguished participation of Dr. Sergio Santiago Gómez, a renowned researcher in the field of nanophysics, who shared his valuable knowledge on the topic of "Nonresonant Quantum Control of Magnetic Atoms Using Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana Spectroscopy."
During his presentation, Dr. Gómez explored in depth cutting-edge techniques for manipulating systems at the nanoscale, with a special focus on spin control of individual atoms. The application of sophisticated Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interferometry in combination with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was discussed as key tools for achieving this high-precision control. Methods for studying the fascinating phenomenon of quantum tunneling in these systems were also discussed.
The seminar was held in a hybrid format, as has been the case previously.
Dr. Sergio Santiago Gómez has a solid track record in the field of nanophysics, standing out for his significant contributions to the study of the dynamic response of artificial atomic systems and the theory of electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments on single atoms. He holds a PhD from the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (UNNE) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB) in Chile. He is currently a Full Professor at UNNE and a researcher at IMIT (CONICET - UNNE), where his research focuses on the development of electronic structure and dynamics calculation codes, as well as the analysis of effective models to understand fundamental mechanisms in nanophysics.
This seminar provided a valuable opportunity to delve deeper into the latest advances in the exciting field of quantum control at the atomic level and explore its promising applications in diverse areas of science and technology. Furthermore, a rich exchange of ideas and questions was generated between the attendees and Dr. Gómez, demonstrating the great interest the topic generated.
