Behind the Tech! 🚀 ✨ Pt. 2 In today's spotlight, Clayton Miller, one of our Test Engineers, shares what he loves most about being a part of the Vescent team. 👇 "My favorite part of being a part of the Vescent team is that there is no loss of information between the team. Like every company there is miscommunications, but the knowledge and personal lives of the scientific and administrative staff is always freely shared. You are only one question away from learning about someone’s PhD thesis in gruesome detail. Or a quick chat that gives you insight into someone’s family history. Even the question of “How was your weekend?” often turns into a deep dive of someone’s interests, adventures, or strong opinions. There is no place like Vescent which is knit into a community where you can learn about physics you never even considered or what their kids are up to nowadays. Even just today, I was told about the good fortune of one of the technicians’ sons, [he] was invited to lunch for helping one of the engineers’ daughters and got caught up in a conversation about the new space launches this week. Vescent is truly unique in this way."

We'll be at the Front Range Industry & Postdoc Summit (FRIPS) today! We'd love to connect and learn more about you! 🌟 About FRIPS >> https://lnkd.in/gEZQYruB #CUBoulder #FRIPS #PostDoc #Colorado #ColoradoQuantum #Research #QuantumTechnology #Innovation #UniversityofColorado

This week’s #Opticaincubator meeting on frequency combs explored future directions for the technology in biology, chemistry and medicine. With the support of our sponsors Schmidt Sciences and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we brought together researchers and members from industry to explore how to better enable these applications.

Congratulations to Jennifer Black, one of our staff scientists at Vescent, and the rest of her team on receiving the Governor's Award 2024 Technology Transfer for their work in "Pioneering nonlinear nanophotonic systems to revolutionize laser science, quantum sensing, and optical signal processing." This is truly a breakthrough, revolutionizing the quantum world as we know it and tackling global challenges. 🎉 We're so excited for you!!

Experts across chemical, biological, and medical applications of frequency combs have met at Optica Headquarters in DC over the last few days to formulate a roadmap for #quantumsensing technologies for human and ecosystem health. The broad representation from academic, foundation, national laboratory, government, and industry participants is critical to uplift the interests of the public at large. This vision will be shared across multiple dissemination forms. Stay tuned!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” This year’s two Nobel Prize laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we often mean machine learning using artificial neural networks. This technology was originally inspired by the structure of the brain. In an artificial neural network, the brain’s neurons are represented by nodes that have different values. These nodes influence each other through connections that can be likened to synapses and which can be made stronger or weaker. The network is trained, for example by developing stronger connections between nodes with simultaneously high values. This year’s laureates have conducted important work with artificial neural networks from the 1980s onward. John Hopfield invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns. We can imagine the nodes as pixels. The Hopfield network utilises physics that describes a material’s characteristics due to its atomic spin – a property that makes each atom a tiny magnet. The network as a whole is described in a manner equivalent to the energy in the spin system found in physics, and is trained by finding values for the connections between the nodes so that the saved images have low energy. When the Hopfield network is fed a distorted or incomplete image, it methodically works through the nodes and updates their values so the network’s energy falls. The network thus works stepwise to find the saved image that is most like the imperfect one it was fed with. Geoffrey Hinton used the Hopfield network as the foundation for a new network that uses a different method: the Boltzmann machine. This can learn to recognise characteristic elements in a given type of data. Hinton used tools from statistical physics, the science of systems built from many similar components. The machine is trained by feeding it examples that are very likely to arise when the machine is run. The Boltzmann machine can be used to classify images or create new examples of the type of pattern on which it was trained. Hinton has built upon this work, helping initiate the current explosive development of machine learning.

As a spin-out of the University of Colorado Boulder and JILA, Vescent values its close ties with both institutions. We recently spent a day collaborating on quantum research, commercialization, and exploring how the university and JILA can continue partnering with industry to bring Nobel Prize-winning technologies like the frequency comb from the lab to the real world, improving lives. 🌟 Missy Diehl Kevin Knabe Russ Fein Kurt Vogel Massimo Ruzzene Mark Wippich Scott Sternberg Scott Davis James Pinto Eduardo Oteiza The Nobel Prize University of Colorado Boulder Physics #Quantum #QuantumTechnology #QuantumHub #ColoradoQuantum #Innovation #QuantumResearch #QuantumApplications

We are excited to welcome Monica Silva to our team as our new Technical Writer! Her background is a kaleidoscope reflecting a wide breadth of interests and passions: optical engineer, stay-at-home parent, home educator, writer/editor, chocolatier & pastry cook, and karate instructor. She likes having experience in different fields because seemingly unrelated areas can inform and enrich each other. Editing alone can vary widely, from memoirs to academic papers to poetry to many more. ✍ She is most deeply interested in Polynesian dance, especially Tahitian. She enjoys learning new musical interests, with her most recent addition being a beautiful red electric guitar which she named Lehua! 🎸 Culinary experiments also find a place in her hobbies. Welcome, Monica! Happy to have you here! #newteammember #TechnicalWriter #Quantum #LaserTechnology #quantumtechnology #engineering #photonics #quantumcomputing #innovation #team #writing
