Silicon Defect Proves a Photonic Keystone to Quantum Internet
Silicon Defect Proves a Photonic Keystone to Quantum Internet
A research team at Simon Fraser University has exploited a defect in silicon that it believes will enable the realization of massively scalable quantum computers — and the quantum internet that will connect them. The research provides proof of principle that T centers, a specific luminescent defect in silicon, can provide a photonic link between qubits.

Virtual Biomarkers: An Emerging High-Throughput Research Tool Virtual Biomarkers: An Emerging High-Throughput Research Tool
Thu, Aug 11, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Pathology underlies every facet of healthcare, influencing more than 70% of all medical decisions. Yair Rivenson Ph.D., the CEO and Co-Founder of Pictor Labs, demonstrates how it is possible to alter the centuries old practice of histopathology with a digitized process in a non-destructive fashion. The process is enabled by a machine learning-based virtual staining technology which allows fully digital and virtual multiplex tissue platforms to substantively improve the quality and quantity of pathology samples. He will also discuss additional benefits of the technology.

Intraoperative OCT in Veterinary Surgery for Cancer Intraoperative OCT in Veterinary Surgery for Cancer
Tue, Aug 16, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Surgery is a common cancer treatment performed in dogs and cats but the process of assessing the tumor takes several days and is only able to evaluate a small portion. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique that helps solve issues that accompany this process. OCT enables real-time intraoperative surgical margin assessment, allowing rapid visualization of the tissue microstructure at the surgical margins. To date, Dr. Laura Selmic, and her team have found high sensitivity and specificity for detection of incomplete margins after surgical excision of skin tumors, including STS and mast cell tumors, in dog and feline injection site sarcoma. The results reveal that OCT has potential for showing the demarcation between tumor and other normal tissues including muscle, fat, and skin.
