In this public lecture, Dr. Alan Jamison explores the fascinating world of quantum chemistry at ultra-cold temperatures. Discover how chemical reactions transform when conducted at temperatures a billion times colder than a Canadian winter and what scientists can learn with perfect quantum control of reactants. Learn about the revolutionary laser cooling techniques that allow atoms and molecules to be cooled to within billionths of a degree above absolute zero. Examine how these ultra-cold molecules enable quantum-level control of chemical reactions, opening new frontiers in our understanding of chemistry and potential future technologies. Dr. Jamison, an Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo with joint appointments in Physics and Astronomy and the Institute for Quantum Computing, leads research investigating ultracold atoms and molecules to explore quantum many-body physics, quantum chemistry, and quantum information science.
