ACMD Seminar: Transmission lines, quantum and classical

Stephen Sorokanich
Quantum Fellow at Air Force Research Laboratories, Information Institute

Tuesday, July 22, 2025, 3:00-4:00 PM ET (1:00-2:00 PM MT)

A video of this talk will be made available to NIST staff in the Math channel on NISTube, which is accessible from the NIST internal home page. It will be taken down from NISTube after 12 months at which point it can be requested by emailing the ACMD Seminar Chair.

Abstract: In this talk, I'll introduce aspects of quantum transduction, including transmission lines and amplifiers which are essential components in many transduction setups. Superconducting circuitry is the source of rich nonlinear phenomena, where novel media can be engineered capable of simulating field theories on chips. 

Bio: Stephen Sorokanich is a Quantum Fellow with the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate. He was a NRC postdoc in ACMD at NIST from 2022 to 2024.

Host: Bonita Saunders

Note: This talk will be recorded to provide access to NIST staff and associates who could not be present to the time of the seminar. The recording will be made available in the Math channel on NISTube, which is accessible only on the NIST internal network. This recording could be released to the public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Do not discuss or visually present any sensitive (CUI/PII/BII) material. Ensure that no inappropriate material or any minors are contained within the background of any recording. (To facilitate this, we request that cameras of attendees are muted except when asking questions.)

*Safety Precaution: The hallway leading from the Courtyard to the exit closest to B-111 and B-113 will be used by contractors to move debris, machinery, and other supplies, as well as will be heavily trafficked by the contractors throughout the process. Be aware of the safety precautions posted during this time.

Note: Visitors from outside NIST must contact Meliza Lane at least 24 hours in advance.
