The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory at Queen’s University is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the development of a novel telecom-wavelength quantum dot platform. This position is part of a broader research initiative encompassing fundamental studies of nonlinear quantum light–matter interactions leading to the realization of quantum photonic neural networks.

The smallest and faintest galaxies around the Milky Way are the most ancient, most metal-poor, and most dark-matter-dominated systems known. These extreme objects offer unique access to small scales where the stellar and dark matter content can be studied simultaneously. They hold the promise of major breakthroughs in understanding the nature of dark matter and a more complete picture of galaxy formation. Thus, their discovery and characterization are among the most important goals in the field. In this talk, I will share our ongoing observational efforts to detect these faint systems around the Milky Way and beyond, and upcoming advances in the era of deep and wide imaging instrumentation, with a focus on their implications.
Timbits, coffee, tea will be served in STI A before the colloquium.

Science Rendezvous Kingston 2025 took place on May 10th at Slush Puppie Place. More than 4700 visitors explored hands-on science activities at more than 60 stations presented by more than 440 volunteers.
Physical Review Letters (PRL) is the premier physics research journal, providing rapid publication of short reports of important fundamental research in all fields of physics. Recently, the Hughes Group has published two new PRLs, introducing exciting new ideas and discoveries in quantum optics and cavity–quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED):
Prof. Sarah Sadavoy won an Early Researcher Award to study how planets form in disks around young stars.

Queen's University: Biosciences Complex and Isabel Bader CentreThe 11th year of the Women+ In Physics Canada (WIPC+) conference is held at Queen's University. This conference aims to foster inclusivity and diversity within the physics community by providing a platform for gender minorities and their allies to share research, network, and develop professionally. Conference delegates will have the opportunity to build networks, explore career paths, and present research, while also promoting gender equity and taking part in conversations about women in physics, equity, and inclusivity issues.
Registration opens on Friday, May 9, 2025!
