    ECE Distinguished Seminar - Mack Kira

    Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

    2:00 PM L440, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    Imagine harnessing the remarkable speed of nature’s fastest processes to revolutionize classical and quantum information processing across all quantum applications, extending beyond just quantum computing. This vision is materializing through lightwave electronics (LWE) which leverages intense optical-carrier waves as ultrafast biasing fields to drive the quantum flow of electronic coherences at speeds far exceeding a single oscillation cycle. In this presentation, I will introduce the core concepts of LWE, and showcase theory–experiment breakthroughs that demonstrate exceptional LWE control over multi-electron quantum states and information in semiconductors. These advancements enable the ability to detect previously undetectable phenomena, the timing of electronic correlation events with attosecond precision, and quantum information processing that exceeds the speed of current classical and quantum computers by millions of times.
