Libai Huang, professor of chemistry in the College of Science, presented “From Light to Matter: Controlling Excitons for Quantum Innovation” at the Westwood Lecture Series on March 11.
In this talk, Huang shared her team’s latest discoveries on how researchers can manipulate excitons in two-dimensional quantum materials. These findings not only advance our understanding of exciton behavior but also highlight their potential as platforms for quantum simulations. The ability to measure and control coherent quantum pathways is crucial for advancing technologies in both solar energy harvesting and quantum information processing.
