This includes the development and application of novel low-loss and highly sensitive resonan t photonic and phononic cavities\, such as whispering gallery and re-entra nt cavities\, as well as photonic band gap and bulk acoustic wave structur es. These cavities have been used in a range of applications\, including h ighly stable low noise classical and atomic oscillators\, low noise measur ement systems\, highly sensitivity displacement sensors\, high precision e lectron spin resonance\, and spin-wave spectroscopy\, high precision measu rement of material properties\, and applications of low-loss quantum hybri d systems\, which are strongly coupled to form polaritons or quasi-particl es. Translational applications of our technology has included the realisat ion of the lowest noise oscillators and systems for advance radar\, the en abling of high accuracy atomic clocks\, and ultra-sensitive transducers fo r precision gravity measurements. \n\nMeanwhile\, there is currently a world-wide renascence to adapt precision and quantum measurement techniqu es to major unsolved problems in physics. This includes the effort to disc over “Beyond Standard Model” physics\, including the nature of Dark Matter\, Dark Energy\, and the unification of Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity to discover the unified theory of everything. Thus\, t he aforementioned technology has been adapted to realize precision measure ment tools and techniques to test some of these core aspects of fundamenta l physics\, such as searches for Lorentz invariance violations in the phot on\, phonon and gravity sectors\, possible variations in fundamental const ants\, searches for wave-like dark matter and test of quantum gravity. Thi s work includes: 1) Our study and application of putative modified physica l equations due to beyond standard model physics\, to determine possible n ew experiments: 2) An overview of our current experimental program\, inclu ding status and future directions. This includes experiments that take adv antage of axion-photon coupling and axion-spin coupling to search for axio n dark matter. High acoustic Q phonon systems to search for Lorentz violat ions\, high frequency gravity waves\, scalar dark matter and tests of quan tum gravity from the possible modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty p rinciple.\n\nCo-sponsored by: The University of Melbourne\n\nSpeaker(s): P rofessor Michael Tobar\, \n\nBldg: Glyn Davis Building\, Singapore Theatre \, The University of Melbourne\, Parkville\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3052\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310549 LOCATION:Bldg: Glyn Davis Building\, Singapore Theatre\, The University of Melbourne\, Parkville\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3052\, Virtual: https://eve nts.vtools.ieee.org/m/310549 ORGANIZER:susmi06@yahoo.com SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Precision Metrology with Photons\, Phonons and Spins: Answering maj or unsolved problems in Physics and Advancing Translational Science URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/310549 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>IEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control Society (UFFC-S) Distinguished Lecturer&nbsp\;</stro ng></p>\n<p class="p1">The Quantum Technologies and Dark Matter research l aboratory has a rich history of developing precision tools for both fundam ental physics and industrial applications.
