Abstract:

Our research program focuses on the transport and manipulation of spin information over functional materials, such as spintronic platforms and topological platforms, for both classical and quantum information processing. Here we look at the properties of very light lithium atoms. Being very light makes them practically free from spin scattering and suitable for spin transport; at the same time, they are also very small therefore highly mobile, and can transfer and store energy efficiently. Here we illustrate these properties by creating transport devices that can support efficient spin-polarized tunneling and field-driven ionic motion to achieve multibit storage per unit.

Bio:

Prof. Miao is Associate Professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, and recipient of Canada’s Early Researcher Award. He received his BSc from Shandong University and PhD from Brown University. He then proceeded as a Postdoctoral Associate and later on promoted to Research Scientist at the Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory at MIT. Prof. Miao’s research focuses on a particular aspect of the electrons – their spin degrees of freedom. His team construct spin-based nanoelectronic devices with improved performances and scalability by taking advantage of the interplay between a few fundamental spin systems: magnetism, superconductivity, and the topological spin state. The program has a strong emphasis on the development of novel materials, in search for an ideal platform that will take us to an era beyond silicon.
