Lecture Date: Tuesday, January 29th.
Joshua Turner, a staff scientist at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source
X-ray laser, delivered the Jan. 29 SLAC Public Lecture, "Quantum
Lightswitch: A New Direction in Ultrafast Electronics."
Turner's
talk highlighted research in manipulating atoms' electrons that could
revolutionize computer data storage and retrieval.
While today's
computer hard drives rely on tiny magnets, which are a result of the
direction in which electrons spin, Turner explained the novel concept of
"orbital electronics," and how it could speed up data storage and
retrieval thousands of times by controlling how electrons orbit the
atomic nucleus.
He also described how experiments at LCLS, which
can identify ultrafast magnetic properties on the scale of atoms and
molecules, may light the way toward such technology breakthroughs.
Turner
received a doctoral degree in experimental condensed matter physics
from the University of Oregon, a master's degree in physics from Boston
University, and bachelor's degrees in physics and mathematics from the
University of California, Santa Barbara. Lecturer: Joshua Turner, SLAC
