Engineered materials represent a fascinating class of substances that enable us to precisely control waves such as light, sound, and heat. In this webinar, we will trace their evolution from early development stages to their cutting-edge applications in the quantum realm.

Classical Engineered Materials

In the first segment, we will explore classical engineered materials and demonstrate how they can manipulate light to render objects nearly invisible, or direct sound and heat to create innovative “acoustic cloaks” and “thermal shields.” Although these capabilities might initially sound like science fiction, they are firmly rooted in established physical principles.

Quantum Materials

Next, we will venture into the emerging territory of quantum materials. In this domain, phenomena like quantum superposition and entanglement are unlocking transformative potentials for advanced technologies, including quantum computing, secure communications, and ultra-sensitive sensing devices.
