Calendar of Physics Talks Vienna
| Speaker: | Prof. Gerard Milburn (The Queensland University, Brisbane - Australia) |
| Abstract: | Recent progress in fabricating small superconducting junctions and nanomechanical resonators enable novel experiments involving synthetic quantum systems. Both superconducting circuits and nanomechanical resonators involve many-body systems of a special kind for which a few collective degrees of freedom can be factored out of the microscopic dynamics and subject to quantum control. I will discuss different ways in which superconducting circuits can be coupled to nanomechanical systems. This enables one to build synthetic analogues of quantum optics experiments, but in which atoms are replaced by artificial dipoles made of superconducting junctions and the optical field is replaced by the harmonic motion of the nanomechanical resonator. I discuss applications to precision metrology and quantum information. |

| Vienna Theory Lunch Club - Parton Saturation in Quantum Chromodynamics |
| Speaker: | Dionysis Triantafyllopoulos (ECT Trento and TU Wien) |
| Abstract: | When we perform a series expansion in a Quantum Field Theory, large logarithms may appear in the perturbative coefficients in certain kinematical regions. Such a situation arises in Quantum Chromodynamics when we consider the scattering between partons at large center of mass energy and at a fixed momentum transfer. A resummation must be performed and the resulting total cross section rises as a power of the energy. At even higher energies nonlinear phenomena take place which lead to the unitarization of the cross section and the saturation of the hadronic wavefunction.

| Robuste Mikrosysteme für automobile und luftfahrtbezogene Anwendungen |
| Speaker: | Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schmid (TU Wien, Institut für Sensor- und Aktuatorsysteme, Abt. Mikrosystemtechnik) |
| Abstract: | Ein Schwerpunkt meines Übersichtsvortrages umfasst die Entwicklung einer neuartigen Einspritzmengensensorik für automobile Anwendungen. Das robuste Sensorelement, umgesetzt auf Basis der LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) Technologie, ist komplett in eine Common-Rail Einspritzdüse integriert. Die keramische Mehrlagentechnik ist ferner von hohem Interesse bei der Umsetzung eines kompakten Radarmoduls bei 79 GHz, das im automobilen Bereich zur Umfeld- und Umgebungssensorik und für luftfahrtbezogene Anwendungen zur Detektion von Wirbelschleppen verwendet werden soll. Neben der Mikro- und Nanoporosizierung der LTCC zur lokalen Modifikation dielektrischer Eigenschaften wird die Umsetzung eines neuartigen, hochtemperaturfesten RF-MEMS-Schaltelementes vorgestellt. Abschließend werden neuartige Ansätze zur Entwicklung von Drucksensoren für Messaufgaben bis 700°C für luftfahrtbezogene Anwendungen dargelegt. Als Substratmaterialien kommen Saphir und hochtemperaturstabile Nickelbasislegierungen zum Einsatz. |
