Faculty fo Chemistry Colloquium- Prof. Yehiam Prior
More information Time 11:00 - 12:30Title MOLECULAR MANIPULATION BY ULTRAFAST LASER PULSESLocation Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture HallLecturer Prof. Yehiam Prior
Chemical Physics Department, WISOrganizer Faculty of ChemistryContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Molecules in the gas or liquid phases are generally randomly...» Molecules in the gas or liquid phases are generally randomly distributed and isotropically oriented in space. Thus, the determination and the measurement of chemical reaction rates or of optical properties requires, by necessity, averaging over all orientations. Femtosecond laser pulses enable molecular manipulation on time scales faster than the internal rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom, opening the way to the direct addressing of aligned and oriented molecules.
In this talk I will review molecular alignment and control, and will discuss selective excitation of like species. Our recent observation of the creation of unidirectional molecular rotation by a sequence of laser pulses and its observation by the rotational Doppler Effect will be described. Time permitting, I will also present predictions for the formation of vortices driven by the laser induced rotational motion of the molecules.

WISOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Topological quantum computation provides an elegant way arou...» Topological quantum computation provides an elegant way around decoherence, as one encodes quantum information in a nonlocal fashion that the environment finds difficult to corrupt. Zero energy Majorana Fermion states (Majorans for short) emerges as a key concept for a realization of nonlocal encoding. In this talk we will discuss breifly what are Majoranas? What makes them nonlocal? and how one may create and manipulate them. In particular we will discuss recipes for driving semiconducting wires into a topological phase supporting Majoranas, and their recent possible experimental observation. I will discuss their interpretation and future experiments -

Sensory Selectivity in Random Cortical Circuits

The Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation The Hebrew University, JerusalemOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Recent experiments indicate that primary auditory and visual...» Recent experiments indicate that primary auditory and visual cortex in rodents exhibit '"Salt and Pepper" architecture, consisting of highly selective neurons without columnar structure. Likewise, there is no apparent functional structure in the pattern of projections from the olfactory bulb to piriform cortex. In my talk I will address the questions: Can sharp stimulus selectivity be maintained in a cortical circuit with random connections? What are the computational ramifications of random cortical projections? How moderate tuning of cortical connectivity can be incorporated on top of largely random architecture? I will describe recent theoretical work that addresses these questions and will discuss their applications to sensory processing in rodent visual and olfactory cortices. I will also discuss relation between these results and recent developments in Machine Learning. -
