In this tutorial, participants will gain invaluable insights into the latest breakthroughs in phase-change materials (PCMs) technology, covering topics from materials development to embedded phase-change memories and the exciting frontier of optical computing. By attending, participants will not only stay abreast of cutting-edge developments but also gain a comprehensive understanding of PCM's pivotal role in shaping the future of computing.

Sunday, December 1
1:30 pm – 5:00 pm

Instructors: Chia-Liang Cheng, National Dong Hwa University; Hiroshi Kawarada, Waseda University; Dominik Bucher, Technische Universität München; Aldona Mzyk, Technical University of Denmark

This tutorial will explore the tailored design of diamond surfaces to enable advanced electronic and quantum technologies.

Sunday, December 1
1:30 pm – 5:00 pm

Instructor: Jeffrey Fagan, National Institute of Standards and Technology

In this tutorial, the instructor will present an overview of the many single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) separation methods developed for isolating particular sub-populations of nanotubes through liquid-phase processing of SWCNT dispersions.  These will include separation by species (chirality), length, general purity, and even enantiomeric handedness of a single (n,m) structure.  Methods for optical characterization of achieved separations will also be presented in detail.

Sunday, December 1
1:30 pm – 5:00 pm

Instructor: Arzhang Ardavan, University of Oxford

The central objective for the tutorial will be to introduce graduate students and researchers from a chemistry or materials science background to some of the physics they will encounter in the symposium “Molecular Quantum Systems."
