“Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart”

“Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart”

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - 10:00 am to Friday, February 24, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Organized by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, in collaboration with the Pensacola Museum of Art. For the past twenty years American artist Shannon Taggart (born 1975 and based in St. Paul, MN) has documented contemporary Spiritualist practices and communities in the United States, England, and Europe. The resulting body of work examines the relationship of Spiritualism to human celebrity, its connections to art, science, and technology, and its intrinsic bond with the medium of photography. There will be a lecture by Taggart on Wednesday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. in KAB 111. A book signing and opening reception will follow. Sponsored in part by The North America Review. Selections from Taggart's book Séance are featured in the Fall 2022 issue of the North American Review, which has been housed at the University of Northern Iowa since 1969. Gallery Hours: Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

“Betwixt and Between: Liminal Moments from the UNI Permanent Art Collection”

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - 10:00 am to Friday, February 24, 2023 - 5:00 pm

January 17 – February 24; March 20 – April 13; April 24- May 5, 2023. Located in the Mary Haskell-Hansen Room of the Gallery, this UNI Permanent Art Collection exhibition was curated by outgoing Gallery Director Darrell Taylor and features a woodblock print by Utagawa Yoshiiku (Japanese) and seven drawings and paintings by Hans Breder (German American). Also featured are artworks by Sandra Baker (American), M.C. Escher (Dutch), and Paolo Soleri (Italian). Rounding out the exhibition are loaned objects from UNI Professor of Art Jeffery Byrd, which include photographs based on performance artworks by Rachel Rosenthal (French American) and Heather Sincavage (American). See the Gallery website for daily hours.

Physics Colloquium: Revealing Possible Coherence Limiting Sources in Superconducting Qubit with Advanced Electron Microscopy

Physics Colloquium: Revealing Possible Coherence Limiting Sources in Superconducting Qubit with Advanced Electron Microscopy

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 - 4:00 pm

Dr. Lin Zhou
Iowa State University

Superconducting materials hold great potential for solid-state quantum computing. The fabrication of superconducting qubits takes advantage of well-developed semiconductor fabrication technology, such as thin film deposition and lithography. However, the complex processing steps introduce defects at the interfaces and surfaces of the qubits that may be a source of two-level system (TLS) detrimental to the device's coherence time. Thus, identifying and understanding structural features down to the atomic scale that act as possible TLS in both the Josephson junction and resonators is key to superconducting qubit performance improvement.  

Advanced electron microscopy techniques, such as (scanning) transmission electron microscopy, with its many different operation modes for imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy, have become indispensable for simultaneous structure, chemistry, and internal magnetic/electric/strain field probing down to the atomic level. This talk will present our recent studies on the microstructure in 2D-transmon and 3D-Nb cavities. A combination of advanced microscopy techniques, including in-situ heating, high resolution (S)TEM imaging, and spectroscopy (EDS and EELS), is used to identify possible TLS sources. Insights for future coherence time improvement in superconducting qubit will be briefly discussed.
