An introduction into the world of quantum information science and technology, and the role of quantum beyond the laboratory.

 

Our first featured speaker is Samuel Schwab, a physicist working as a post doctorate fellow on advancing quantum information science and technology for the superconducting group at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, NY. He graduated with his BS in Physics and Philosophy at Baldwin Wallace University and graduated with his Ph.D. in quantum optical physics at Case Western University where he maintained and operated femtosecond laser systems and other associated nonlinear optical experiments. Additionally, he designed, built, and experimented on subwavelength microcavity polatiton samples. Samuel is fascinated with the search for some of the world's most interesting and difficult questions and works enthusiastically to find meaningful and useful answers. In the realm of physics, his interest is currently piqued by questions like: How does information theory fit into physical models of the universe? And how can we build more intuitive models for quantum computation?

About Us

SyOH is a hybrid virtual and in-person seminar series centered around ideation, innovation, and collaboration within existing modern social infrastructures (breweries). Taking inspiration from current seminar and conference style proceedings, SyOH is bringing a new interactive and personal way of exchanging knowledge and ideas about a broad and diverse range of topics. The SyOH event network is initially addressing the realm of quantum information science. The aim is to break down the barriers to entry of understanding the bizarre world of quantum mechanics, and bring the information to the guest in a collaborative and social setting for inciting unique and creative communal discusisons.
