SUMMARY:Celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Science at UNAM
DESCRIPTION:Bilkent University’ National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) is hosting “Bilkent UNAM – Quantum Day” as part of a global scientific initiative to honor the 100-year legacy of quantum science. \nDuring the event held on Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025\, Chair of the Department of Physics at Bilkent University Prof. Ceyhun Bulutay\, Assoc. Prof. Serkan Ateş from İzmir Institute of Technology\, and Asst. Prof. İbrahim Sarpkaya from UNAM will deliver talks on the fundamentals and future directions of quantum technologies. \nIn addition\, UNAM is one of the stops of QuanTour—a scientific journey across Europe initiated by the Quantum 2025 initiative under the United Nations and UNESCO’s designation of 2025 as the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.” \nAs part of QuanTour\, a quantum light source developed by Dr. Tobias Heindel’s research group at the Technical University of Berlin is traveling to select laboratories across more than 12 countries in Europe\, including the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. \nThe project aims to raise awareness in fields such as quantum optics\, semiconductor physics\, photonic quantum technologies\, and quantum metrology\, while also promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers. Its second stop in Turkey\, after İzmir Institute of Technology (İYTE)\, is the Quantum Photonics Laboratory of Asst. Prof. İbrahim Sarpkaya at Bilkent University UNAM. \nAsst. Prof. Sarpkaya and his research group will perform g²-correlation experiments using the quantum light source and their Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) interferometer setup at the laboratory. \n  \n“Bilkent UNAM – Quantum Day” Program | May 14\, 2025\, Wednesday: \n\n15:30 – 15:40 | Opening Remarks – Dr. İbrahim Sarpkaya\, Bilkent University UNAM\n15:40 – 16:10 | Keynote Speech – Assoc. Prof. Serkan Ateş\, İzmir Institute of Technology\n16:10 – 16:40 | Keynote Speech – Prof. Ceyhun Bulutay\, Chair of Physics Department\, Bilkent University\n16:40 – 17:10 | Keynote Speech – Asst.

SUMMARY:Functional Materials & Nanotechnology Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:Bilkent University UNAM & Twente’s MESA+ Institute Functional Materials & Nanotechnology Workshop 2025\n\n\n\n\n\nBilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) and the University of Twente’s MESA+ Institute are jointly organizing the “Bilkent University UNAM and University of Twente MESA+: Functional Materials and Nanotechnology Workshop 2025” on March 19-20\, 2025. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in materials science and nanotechnology\, strengthening scientific ties between the two countries and fostering knowledge exchange in nanomaterials\, optics/photonics\, micro-nanoelectronics\, and chip systems. \nOver the course of two days\, the event will highlight the latest advancements in nanotechnology through keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, lab visits\, and dedicated sessions exploring opportunities for collaboration. A key objective is to leverage the advanced research infrastructures in Türkiye and the Netherlands to facilitate international partnerships\, particularly within the European Union’s framework programs. \nFollowing the inaugural meeting held in the Netherlands last year\, this second edition at Bilkent University UNAM will provide participants with a dynamic platform to share insights\, strengthen scientific collaborations\, and explore new research opportunities. We hope that this workshop will inspire groundbreaking discoveries and internationally recognized projects in materials science and nanotechnology. \nClick for register and more informotion;\nhttps://unam.bilkent.edu.tr/en/fmnw25 \n
