Title: Quantum engineering using magnetic fields: Quantum Magnetomechanics
Speaker: Jason Twamley (Macquarie University, Sydney)
Abstract: Optomechanics – the control and manipulation of mesocopic objects towards the quantum regime, has attracted much attention. The use of light however, brings with it several problems, scattering noise being just one. In this talk we introduce a new approach to control the quantum motion of mescoscopic objects using magnetic fields. We describe our proposal to levitate and cool superconducting objects using magnetic fields and superconducting quantum circuits, how such levitated objects can be used for high precision gravimetry, specific experimental designs for ultra-strong and deep strong coupling using magnetomechanics and how one can engineer spin squeezing and spin Cats using magnetomechanics.
Time: Thursday 6th July 2017, 2.30pm.
Place: Seminar Room, School of Celtic Studies, DIAS, 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4.

Here is when you will be able to see the 'Super Blood Wolf Moon' this weekend via @irishexaminer #DIASdiscovers irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/i…
Great to see our very own Dr Rebeca Garcia Lopez featured in both the @irishexaminer and the @Independent_ie as one of 20 @scienceirel Starting Investigator Research Grant awardees. #DIASdiscovers
Great piece by @KOSullivanIT in the @IrishTimes today on the unveiling of Shei;a Tinney's portrait yesterday at DIAS with @mitchelloconnor and the family of Dr Tinney. Read it online here: bit.ly/2FvErVs
We were delighted to have @mitchelloconnor , Minister of State for Higher Education, with us on this special occasion today. twitter.com/DIAS_Dublin/st…
We are so proud of Dr Rebeca Garcia Lopez who is one of 20 to receive funding under the @scienceirel SIRG programmes. Congratulations, Rebeca - it is so deserved! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/scienceirel/st…
A proud day for DIAS, celebrating our past and present female scientists: news that Dr Rebeca Garcia Lopez (DIAS) has received funding via @scienceirel Starting Investigator Research Grant & unveiling of the portrait of renowned scientist & 1st female Fellow of DIAS,Sheila Tinney
Some final words from Sheila’s daughter, Deirdre. #DIASdiscovers
The beautiful portrait of Sheila Tinney, by Judith Henihan, officially unveiled by the family of Sheila and @mitchelloconnor
We’re now moving on to the official unveiling of the portrait by Minister Mary Mitchell O’Connor @mitchelloconnor #DIASdiscovers
Sheila Tinney’s daughter Ethna tells us how she recalls her mother remarking approvingly how De Valera initiated the establishment of DIAS #DIASdiscovers
We are delighted to be joined by the daughters and son of Sheila Tinney here at DIAS today for the unveiling. Her son Hugh speaking now on her extensive career as a scientist #DIASdiscovers
Today we’re hosting a very special lunchtime reception to unveil a portrait of former DIAS Fellow and renowned scientist, Sheila Tinney #DIASdiscovers
We were sad to hear of the passing of Sir Michael Atiyah last week, aged 89. Atiyah was a great former chair of the board of our School of Theoretical Physics here at DIAS from 2000-2005. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. (Below, pictured in DIAS's Conference Room) @StpDias
Congrats to @StKiliansDS team Roan Batard, Ethan McQuaid & Marilou Gerbelot-Barillon on winning the Group 2nd place in Physical, Chemical & Mathematical Sci at @BTYSTE lfor their project: 'What makes Dublin shake?' @dias_geophysics were delighted to support you with your project! twitter.com/NBourgeois_Pro…
