  • 2020 NITheP CHPC Summer School

    Protea Hotel SaldanaBay 51 Main Rd, Saldanha, Western Cape, South Africa

    The 10th CHPC Introductory Programming School & The 2nd NITheP Foundations of Theoretical and Computational Science Summer School 01 - 09 February 2020 Protea Hotel, Saldanha Bay, Western Cape The Summer School is jointly organised by the Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the National Institute

  • NITheP Seminar – Dr. Daniel Park: Quantum information processing with spins in the solid state

    NITheP Seminar Room, 3rd Floor, Physics Westville Campus, UKZN, Durban, South Africa

    Spin systems controlled and probed by magnetic resonance have been valuable for testing ideas of quantum control and quantum information processing. In this talk, I will introduce the basic concept and some recent results in spin and magnetic based quantum computing. I will also discuss a number of quantum control techniques that have been benchmarked

  • Public Lecture by Prof Michael Felsberg: Deep Learning for Visual Perception

    Unite Building, Howard College, UKZN Durban, South Africa

    Deep learning with vast amounts of data has revolutionized the field of computer vision. Visual perceptions for robotics, however, requires to go beyond the developed methods due to its specific requirements: The amount of data is limited and needs to be processed on-the-fly, annotation is incomplete or missing, measurements are sparse and of varying level

  • NITheP Webinar – Professor Clarice D. Aiello: From nanotech to living sensors: unravelling the spin physics of biosensing at the nanoscale

    The Internet

    Abstract: Substantial in vitro and physiological experimental results suggest that similar coherent spin physics might underlie phenomena as varied as the biosensing of magnetic fields in animal navigation and the magnetosensitivity of metabolic reactions related to oxidative stress in cells. If this is correct, organisms might behave, for a short time, as “living quantum sensors”
