Severo Ochoa Seminar by prof. Lucio Piccirillo
On Thursday June 12th, the Severo Ochoa visitor, Prof. Lucio Piccirillo from the University of Manchester, will give a Severo Ochoa Seminar entitled How to beat Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
Start date: 12 Jun, 2014 - 10:30
End date: 12 Jun, 2014 - 12:00
Location: Aula, IAC Headquarters, Tenerife.
Organizer: Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias
Abstract:
I will discuss recent development in low noise amplifiers for astrophysical applications. I will describe the fundamental quantum limits of linear amplifiers and then I will show how a promising new class of amplifiers - superconducting parametric amplifiers - might be able to (apparently) violate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
