Valery Milner investigates quantum "weirdness" using ultrashort laser pulses. His group tailors the pulses to a unique shape, known as an "optical centrifuge", which enables them to spin molecules inside the quantum system of interest. The link to the seminar is on our website!

Join us on October 4 to learn how Valerie Booth's group uses physics, biochemistry and computational techniques to develop novel antibiotics, learn how the biomolecular machines inside cells continue to operate even though their environment is full of other molecules, and more!

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation occurs every year on September 30. This day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the resiliency of their communities.
