DEPARTMENT EPHEMERA 

The Physics Department at CCNY is thrilled to offer "An Introduction to Quantum Computation" in the Spring 2023. Taught by Seth Cottrell, this is a multi-disciplinary (physics, math, computer science, electrical engineering, etc.) class which is unique in NYC. It has been designed such that the only pre-requisite is linear algebra. To make things even more exciting, we have recently built a Quantum Optics Lab for students to complement the class. Check it out here:

UPCOMING EVENTS

Physics Colloquium

Physics Colloquiums occur on most Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m.   Talks are presented on Zoom and n person in the Marshak Science Building, room 418N.  For more information, please contact Sriram Ganeshan, sganeshan@ccny.cuny.edu

Tackling time-dependent quantum many body systems with reduced density matrices

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

The National Science Foundation recently awarded the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at CCNY a research grant of $744997 for three years. 

In this research project, Professors Franco, Nair, and Polychronakos will explore two fundamental concepts. The first of these is "entanglement". This refers to the surprising correlations between measurements carried out far from each other (sometimes referred to as "quantum weirdness” or "spooky action at a distance”). The second of these is the curvature of space and time, which is the source of gravitational forces according to Einstein’s theory of gravity. 

PHYSICS STUDENTS

Congratulations to recent Physics BS grad, Aidan Subrahimovic on being named a CCNY 2021 Great Grad!
