Expert Lecture on Quantum Technology
School of Material Science and Technology, IIT (BHU) took an initiative to promote National Mission on Quantum Technologies & Applications (NM-QTA). Quantum technology is opening up new frontiers in computing, communications, cyber security with wide-spread applications. Quantum Technology is based on the principles of Quantum mechanics developed in the early 20th century to describe nature at the scale of atoms and elementary particles. Using quantum superposition, a set of unbreakable codes or super-speedy information processing, quantum computers are able to mimic several classical computers working in parallel. Quantum technology is manifested through applications in secure communication, disaster management through better prediction, computing, simulation, chemistry, healthcare, cryptography, imaging among others. Scientists have expanded quantum theory to understand biological phenomena such as smell, consciousness, enzyme catalysis, photosynthesis, avian navigation like that of the Robin, origin of life and effects on coronavirus. It is expected that lots of commercial applications would emerge from theoretical constructs which are developing in this area.
This expert lecture will give a brief introduction to quantum technologies and focus on the field of quantum sensing. In this context our expert will describe developed sensor, the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, and present current research directions that are being pursued in current research trend.

Speakers
Dr. Amit Finkler of Weizmann Institute of Science
Using Quantum Sensing to Magnetically Study Structure and Reactions on the Single-Molecule Level
Biography:
Dr. Amit Finkler obtained his bachelor degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics at Tel Aviv University.
He then moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science, doing his Master's thesis under the supervision of Profs. Amir Yacoby and Eli Zeldov, developing a unique superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID).
In his doctoral thesis, under the supervision of Prof. Zeldov, he worked on a novel scanning SQUID microscope for the study of magnetic phenomena on the nanoscale, which nowadays reaches a single electron spin sensitivity.
After a short interlude in industry in the field of thermoelectrics he moved back to the Weizmann Institute of Science for a post-doctoral position at the Atomic Scale Physics laboratory.
In July 2014 he joined the 3rd Institute of Physics in the University of Stuttgart, leading the scanning probe microscopy group.
In August 2014, Dr. Finkler was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers.
In October 2017, Dr. Finkler was appointed as a Senior Scientist in the Department of Chemical and Biological Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
