He is Co-Director of UM's Quantum Rese arch Institute (QRI)\, Director of the Midwest Quantum Collaboratory (MQC) \, and Director of the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) Cent er for Quantum Photonic Integration and Deployment (QuPID).\n\nHe develops predictive many-body and quantum optics theories to quantitatively analyz e and guide experiments and to accelerate device breakthroughs in quantum science and technology. Working closely with experimental collaborators\, his research has advanced semiconductor quantum optics\, quantum photonics and optoelectronics\, quantum spectroscopy\, and ultrafast coherent pheno mena\, including the development of the quantum dynamics cluster expansion approach and discoveries such as dropletons\, quasiparticle accelerator\, attoclock for quasiparticles\, and exciton switch.\n\nHe earned his Ph.D. (1996) from Helsinki University of Technology\, held postdoctoral positio ns at Philipps University Marburg and KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, served as a Professor of Physics at the University of Marburg (2002–2016 )\, and joined UM in 2016.\n\nAbstract\n\nLightwave electronics (LWE) is a n emerging approach to classical and quantum information processing that l everages intense optical-carrier waves as ultrafast biasing fields to driv e the quantum flow of electronic coherences at speeds far exceeding a sing le oscillation cycle.\n\nBy driving and reading out semiconductor quantum states within a fraction of an optical period\, LWE opens a route to contr olling multi-electron dynamics at petahertz rates\, far beyond the operati ng speeds of today's electronics and qubit platforms.\n\nIn this presentat ion\, I will introduce the key ideas behind LWE and highlight recent theor y-experiment advances demonstrating strong-field\, sub-cycle control of mu lti-electron quantum states and information in semiconductors.\n\nI will a lso discuss how LWE can impact scalable Quantum Photonic Integration and D eployment (QuPID)\, the ability to detect previously undetectable phenomen a\, the timing of electronic correlation events with attosecond precision\ , and quantum information processing that exceeds the speed of current cla ssical and quantum computers by millions of times.\n\nRoom: EC2300\, Bldg: FIU EC\, 10555 West Flagler Street\, Miami\, Florida\, United States\, 33 174 LOCATION:Room: EC2300\, Bldg: FIU EC\, 10555 West Flagler Street\, Miami\, Florida\, United States\, 33174 ORGANIZER:jlnu003@fiu.edu SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Quantum Lightwave Optoelectronics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/587738 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><img src="https:// events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/1e039433-c5ca-468c-b350-fd9 891948ea7"></h2>\n<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">About the Speaker</h2>\n<p>Ma ckillo (Mack) Kira is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer S cience at the University of Michigan\, with a joint appointment in Physics .
