Webinars

Join us for this webinar to learn about the capabilities of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and its add-on modules for designing power electronics. We will cover the specialized functionality in the add-on AC/DC Module for modeling a variety of capacitors and power magnetic devices, such as inductors and transformers. The module's functionality for extracting lumped parameters for circuit-level simulation will also be discussed. Then, we will go over how electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analyses can be conducted using the add-on RF Module. In addition, we will cover how the software's multiphysics capabilities enable users to couple electromagnetics with heat transfer and fluid flow in order to design efficient thermal management systems.

In partnership with The Society of Rheology. This webinar brings together insights from three advanced rheological studies to show how flow behavior and structural analysis can be leveraged to optimize both slurry-based and dry-powder electrode formulations.

Quantum Focus series, session 3 of 3—In this webinar, we will illustrate an autonomous quantum refrigerator that can reset computational qubits in a superconducting-qubit quantum computer. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the refrigerator cooled an initially excited qubit to approximately 22 mK, lower than the temperatures achieved by some state-of-the-art reset protocols. Also, we will propose criteria for building useful autonomous quantum machines, inspired by DiVincenzo’s for useful quantum computers.

Optomechanical systems exemplify hybrid physical technologies that necessitate the excitation, measurement, and readout of optical, microwave, and nano-mechanical components. These systems can operate across a broad spectral range, being simultaneously in the kilohertz (kHz) to gigahertz (GHz) frequency regimes. This makes operating such hybrid systems very demanding. In this webinar, you will learn about: The challenges associated with sideband measurements, injection locking, and stabilization; The significance of pulsed measurements for applications like quantum non-demolition measurements and hybrid quantum systems; Harnessing the capabilities of digital lock-in amplifiers to implement these techniques with a single instrument.

Quantum Focus series, session 2 of 3—Ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices offer a clean and highly controllable platform to emulate the fermionic Hubbard model. In this webinar, I will present our recent progress in quantum simulations of the FHM.

Quantum Focus series, session 1 of 3—In this webinar, we explore how recent advances in quantum hardware and algorithms are revolutionizing quantum chemistry, a field that underpins vital R&D in drug development and materials science. This timely and accessible webinar walks the audience through the limitations of classical computational methods and how quantum computers promise to overcome them—especially for complex, strongly correlated molecular systems that defy today’s simulation capabilities.

Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a promising complement to lithium-ion technology, supported by the advantages of earth abundance, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for stationary and large-scale applications. Realizing this potential requires both the accelerated discovery of new functional materials and the deeper understanding of existing candidates tailored for sodium-ion chemistry.

This webinar will offer insight into the fundamental physics of extreme confinement, and guidance for the design of next generation nanofluidic devices. It is aimed at physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers eager to explore the surprising and exploitable behaviors of matter at the smallest scales.

In this webinar, we will outline inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and inertial fusion energy (IFE) principles, including indirect- and direct-drive schemes; review achievements; and discuss steps toward practical IFE.

In this webinar, we will discuss a modern technique which combines structured illumination with sensitive structured detection, enabling the production of thin, high-contrast, high-resolution optical slices similar to traditional confocal imaging, but with simpler, more flexible instrumentation, based on new LED light sources, advanced aperture correlation methods and a sensitive high resolution sCMOS camera.
