SUMMARY:Quantum Dots: Fundamentals to Quantum Networks
DESCRIPTION:Yusuf Karlı\nUniversity of Cambridge \n\nQuantum networks promise fundamentally new ways to communicate and process information by harnessing the laws of quantum mechanics. Semiconductor quantum dots offer a practical and scalable platform for realizing many of the key components required for such networks. Because quantum dots confine charge carriers in all three spatial dimensions\, they exhibit discrete\, atom-like energy levels that enable precise control over light–matter interactions. \nThis talk introduces the basic physics of quantum dots and explains how their optical properties enable the on-demand generation of single photons and entangled photon pairs. It then explores how interactions between confined spin states and emitted photons create spin–photon entanglement\, providing a direct interface for quantum networking\, and highlights how these capabilities position quantum dots as promising building blocks for quantum networks\, with applications ranging from secure communication to distributed quantum information processing. \n \n  \nAbout Speaker\nYusuf Karli completed his PhD at the University of Innsbruck in 2024 with Gregor Weihs\, working on single and entangled photon generation from quantum dots. His PhD work was awarded IQOQI Thesis Prize by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He then joined Mete Atatüre’s group at the University of Cambridge\, where he works on quantum memory and quantum network applications using quantum dots. Since October 2025\, he has been elected as Fellow and Director of Studies Natural Sciences at Emmanuel College\, University of Cambridge. \n \n

SUMMARY:Talk on Gender Equality and Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Dear Members of the Bilkent Community\, \nBilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) embraces scientific excellence alongside the principles of equality\, inclusivity\, and a safe academic environment\, and considers gender equality an integral part of its institutional culture. UNAM actively supports initiatives that promote gender equality and contribute to the fight against violence against women. \nŞule Yıldırım\, a professional with extensive experience in this field\, will join us as the speaker for the subject “Talk on Gender Equality and Violence Against Women\,” hosted by UNAM. \nMs. Yıldırım holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Hacettepe University and a Master’s degree in Psychology from Istanbul Aydın University. After retiring from the Ministry of Family and Social Services\, she has continued her work with a particular focus on combating violence against women and advancing gender equality. She also actively works as a family counselor. \nThe talk will address the following topics from an expert perspective: \n\nthe core concepts of gender equality\,\nthe individual and societal dimensions of violence against women\,\napproaches to awareness\, prevention\, and empowerment.\n\nDate: January 23\nTime: 3:30 – 4:30 PM\nVenue: UNAM Conference Hall\, Bilkent University \nThe talk will be conducted in Turkish.
