Title:   Hybrid Quantum Spintronics

Abstract: Spin degree of freedom has long been the preferred choice in textbooks for explaining both classical and quantum information, for example, encoded in bits and qubits. With the promise of lower-dissipation and longer coherence time offered by the spin, in the recent years, a number of fundamental and technological advances made in the field of spintronics have brought these textbook examples closer to reality. However, thus far, the advances in the classical and the quantum domain have largely occurred independent of each other. In this talk, we will present a new emerging direction of merging these advances to explore new phenomena and devices at the interface of classical and quantum spintronics—a paradigm we refer to as hybrid quantum spintronics. Particularly, taking the example of integrating dynamic excitations of magnets with quantum spins hosted in solid state platforms, we will demonstrate how hybrid quantum spintronics open possibilities for solving the challenge of developing: (a) local and coherent control fields for spin-qubit-based quantum applications, and (b) sensitive, nanoscale, and non-invasive quantum probes for sensing electric fields and material properties for next-generation micro/nanoelectronics.

Speaker Bio: Pramey Upadhyaya is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Purdue University. Before joining Purdue, Pramey was a postdoctoral scholar in the Physics and Astronomy Department, University of California Los Angeles. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, in 2009, and the master’s and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering department from the University of California Los Angeles, USA, in 2011 and 2015, respectively. His research has explored the theory of classical and quantum spintronic phenomenon and their device applications, enabled by electrical and thermal control of magnetism. Along with his teammates, this work has resulted in one of the earliest demonstrations of current-induced room-temperature skyrmion manipulations, spin torque switching by topological surface states and NV-center probing of spin-caloritronics. These works have resulted in over 30 publications in journals including Science, Physical Review Letters, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials and Nature Communications. He is a recipient of NSF CAREER (2020), Qualcomm Innovation fellowship (2013) and Intel summer fellowship (2011).
