Studies of the local conformations and conformational dynamics of cyanine labeled DNA constructs by photon correlation fluorescence spectroscopy

  • Speaker: Andrew H. Marcus
  • Event Type: Seminar
  • Date and Time: 05/03/2021 4:00 pm - 05/04/2021 4:45 pm
  • Location: Zoom

Thermal fluctuations of DNA play an important role in the regulation of DNA replication, recombination and repair, which depends on the ability of protein machinery to recognize and to bind to selected conformations of DNA lattices. Obtaining information… Read More

How fissors works. Three-pulse femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy as a probe of conformational motion

  • Speaker: Jeff Cina
  • Event Type: Seminar
  • Date and Time: 02/15/2021 4:00 pm - 02/16/2021 4:45 pm
  • Location: Zoom

Abstract: Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS or fissors) is a form of time-resolved Raman-scattering spectroscopy designed to probe changes in molecular conformation.  Because the energy-level splittings associated with conformational mo… Read More

Seminar: Fluorescent Probes for Spectroscopic Studies of RNA Folding: Not as Innocent as you Think

  • Speaker: Julia Widom
  • Event Type: Seminar
  • Date and Time: 01/11/2021 4:00 pm - 01/12/2021 4:45 pm
  • Location: Zoom

Abstract: Many widely used spectroscopic techniques rely on fluorescence detection, and fluorescence-based methods are particularly useful for the study of biological macromolecules. The nucleic acids RNA and DNA are almost completely nonfluorescent, so a… Read More

Quantization of light in the wave-packet basis; Applications in quantum optics and quantum communications

  • Speaker: Michael Raymer
  • Event Type: Seminar
  • Date and Time: 12/14/2020 3:00 pm - 12/15/2020 3:45 pm
  • Location: Zoom

Abstract: We review the concepts of temporal modes (TMs) in quantum optics, highlighting Roy Glauber's crucial and historic contributions to their development, and their growing importance in quantum information science. TMs are orthogonal sets of wa… Read More

Reframing SU(1,1) interferometry

  • Speaker: Carlton Caves
  • Event Type: Seminar
  • Date and Time: 02/11/2020 4:00 pm - 02/12/2020 3:45 pm

SU(1,1) interferometry takes advantage of the reduced noise in the correlations of two-mode squeezed states. I recast SU(1,1) interferometry as a way of making simultaneous back-action-evading measurements of both components of the displacement of a harmo… Read More
