Quantum Season: 2 Scientists Speak About Quantum Computer And What They Can Actually Do For Culture & Business
Professor George C. Schatz is Professor of Chemistry and of Chemical and Biological Engineering at North-western University. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry at Clarkson University and a Ph. D at Caltech. He was a postdoc at MIT, and has been at North-western since 1976.
Schatz is a theoretician who studies the optical, structural and thermal properties of nanomaterials, including plasmonic nanoparticles, DNA and peptide nanostructures, and carbon-based materials, with applications in chemical and biological sensing, electronic and biological materials, high performance fibers, and solar energy. His past work has also been concerned with understanding the dynamics of chemical reactions in the gas phase and in gas-surface collisions.
Professor Anupam Garg is interested in the formalism and applications of coherent state path integrals, especially as they relate to spin angular momentum and molecular magnets. He also maintains a cultural interest in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Since 2020, he has been collaborating with Professor Ketterson on micromagnetic simulations of various phenomena related to ferromagnetic resonance and nonlinear, large angle dynamics.
_________
- Describe your interest in quantum mechanics and culture (Apunam)
- What does everyone need to know (no matter their position or industry) about quantum Mechanics?
- How will these principles affect innovation in the current industries
- What are the most compelling intersections of your work and the evolution of the industries that we know today?
- What keeps you up at night with the knowledge that you hold?
- What are the most important unanswered questions in science today?
- How do things get lost in the translation from science to industry? How do you bridge the gap
- What’s the one question you wish people would ask you (about science) that they never do?
