Measuring entanglement in quantum magnetic systems with strong long-range correlations

D-Wave systems purports to have designed a quantum processor based on scalable architecture that physically implements quantum annealing, an algorithm that can be used to solve a wide variety of optimization problems. In order for D-Wave devices to exhibit a performance advantage over classical processors, it is necessary that the devices utilize a resource that […]

Formation of Supermassive Black Holes via merger of Protostars

The origin of Supermassive Black Holes that are observed to exist in the early Universe is one of the key questions in astronomy. There are different models that try to explain how these black holes formed and grew in a short period of time. One such model is the collision of protostars resulting in massive […]

Expanding the Applicability of Inductively Coupled Plasma Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Clinical and Semiconductor Industries

This internship aims at advancing the use of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the analysis of clinical samples (including whole blood) and of materials used by the semiconductor industry during their manufacturing process. The complexity of biological samples indeed limits the broad use of conventional inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) […]

Development of next generation vision sensor with coded multi-exposure pixel and compressive sensing based readout

Vision sensor is essential components in sensor applications of industry 4.0 such as autonomous vehicle, Internet of Things (IoT), Neural Network. The main goal of this research is to study, design, and develop a new concept of computational vision sensors called “transport-aware”. Unlike conventional vision sensors which record all incident light, transport-aware vision sensor can […]
