While traditional mutagenesis with the 20 canonical amino acids has enabled significant advances, its chemical scope remains limited. The incorporation of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins has the potential to expand the chemistry accessible through mutagenesis and enable precise control through mutations that are more finely tuned than those achieved with canonical amino acid mutagenesis. However, this strategy remains underexplored. To expand this potential, we engineered new tools for the incorporation of key ncAAs and have applied these tools to demonstrate improved activity over several properties, including expanding the catalytic pH range, increasing the redox potential of metallocofactors, and accelerating the rate-limiting step of catalysis. These results establish ncAA mutagenesis as valuable tool for metalloenzyme engineering, capable of improvements inaccessible through canonical mutagenesis.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Speaker's biography: </strong><br>\r\nAlexandria (Ali) Deliz Liang is an assistant professor at University of Zurich.

Despite its apparent familiarity, the underlying physics of bubble nucleation remains poorly understood. The challenge lies at the microscopic level. Classical nucleation theories treat boiling as a collection of isolated, independent bubbles growing on a surface, failing to capture the complex reality of actual engineering surfaces — which consist of dense arrays of interacting nucleation sites. Using custom-engineered silicon chips with precisely spaced microcavities, we isolate and systematically control these microscopic \"neighborhoods.\" By uncovering how the spacing between neighboring sites governs bubble nucleation, coalescence, and stability, we gain a new understanding of how microscopic interactions ultimately drive macroscale thermal performance — paving the way for safer, more efficient cooling technologies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio: </strong>Dr. Rameez Iqbal is a Scientific Collaborator at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where his research focuses on micro- and nanoscale transport phenomena toward efficient power generation and advanced thermal management.

We want to model errors in gates. Logic gates on physical qubits are modeled by process matrices, derived from theory or estimated from tomography. But describing logical gates on logical qubits demands a richer model — specifically, detector error models — that can describe QEC syndrome data. I’ll introduce detector error models and summarize three recent papers in which we show how to estimate detector error models from data [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.14643</a>], how to simulate arbitrary small Markovian errors in Clifford circuits [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15128</a>], and how to generate detector error models from arbitrary circuit-level Markovian errors [<a data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"2\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18457</a>].<br>\r\n<br>\r\n2. \"<strong>Randomized measurements for large-scale quantum experiments\" - </strong> <strong>Benoit Vermersch</strong><br>\r\nThe randomized measurements toolbox is now routinely used in quantum experiments to estimate fundamental quantum properties, such as entanglement [1].<br>\r\nWhile experimentalists appreciate the simplicity and robustness aspects of such measurement protocols, a challenge for theorists is to design strategies for overcoming statistical errors using \"cheap\" polynomial resources in system size.<br>\r\nIn this context, I will present recent upgrades to the randomized measurements toolbox that address this challenge for large-scale quantum states that are relevant to the field of quantum simulation. In particular, I will discuss efficient protocols for measuring entanglement [2] and performing state tomography [3]. <br>\r\n <br>\r\n[1] A. Elben, S. T. Flammia, H.-Y. Huang, R. Kueng, J.

In this talk, I will present our approach to quantum computing utilizing metastable fine-structure qubits in bosonic strontium atoms. Combining long coherence times, high-fidelity gates, and coherent atom shuttling with THz-scale qubit splitting, we realize a powerful computational platform featuring a natural implementation of logical qubits. Leveraging velocity-selective addressing of individual atoms enables mid-circuit readout or resets, opening the path to cyclic error correction or measurement-based quantum computing. Furthermore, I will present our approach to scaling atom arrays based on directly loaded large-scale optical lattices. Utilizing a specialized, highly anisotropic lattice geometry, we directly load thousands of individually addressable strontium atoms from the magneto-optical trap and demonstrate continuous replenishment of atoms in the system. Our work establishes the fine-structure qubit in strontium as a promising qubit platform for neutral-atom quantum computers and showcases the scalability of atom arrays trapped in optical lattices. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nBIO: <br>\r\n<strong>Johannes Zeiher</strong> studied physics at the LMU Munich and the University of Cambridge, where he obtained his masters degree in 2012. He did his PhD in the group of Immanuel Bloch at MPQ, focusing on quantum simulations with neutral atoms in optical lattices, in particular employing highly excited Rydberg states for realizing quantum spin models. For this work, he received the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society. Following his postdoc as a Feodor Lynen Fellow at UC Berkeley with Dan Stamper-Kurn on single-atom cavity QED, in 2020 he joined the Quantum Many-Body Systems Division at MPQ as a research group leader. Since 2022, he leads the independent research group “Quantum Matter Interfaces” at MPQ, which is supported by the BMBF through the Quantum Future program for Junior Research Groups. Since 2025, Johannes is a Professor for Synthetic Quantum Matter at the LMU Munich. His research focuses on quantum computing, quantum gas microscopy of many- and few-body systems in optical lattices and novel light-matter interfaces.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-13T21:14:43", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-14T18:12:07", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BS 150", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Johannes Zeiher</strong>", "organizer": "QSE Center", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "QSE Quantum Seminar", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120362/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/191/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/389/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71585, "title": "IC Colloquium: Sphere Packing Problem and AI-Assisted Formalization", "slug": "ic-colloquium-sphere-packing-problem-and-ai-assi-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/ic-colloquium-sphere-packing-problem-and-ai-assi-2", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-20", "end_date": "2026-04-20", "start_time": "10:15:00", "end_time": "11:15:00", "description": "<strong>By:</strong> Maryna Viazovska and Auguste Poiroux - EPFL<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Maryna Viazovska - Abstract</strong><br>\r\nThe talk will present the path toward formalizing the sphere packing problem in dimensions 8 and 24.

This progress is exciting, but it also raises a verification challenge. Sophisticated proofs, whether written by humans or generated by AI, require substantial expertise and time to check, and AI increases this burden by producing candidate proofs at scale. Formalization, the translation of mathematical content into proof assistant code, provides a promising way forward. Manual formalization, however, still requires substantial effort and expertise. Autoformalization, using AI, is now showing key progress in addressing this bottleneck. In roughly one year, the state of the art has moved from barely formalizing undergraduate-level statements to automatically formalizing whole papers and textbooks. In this talk, I will present my work on the topic at EPFL and Math, Inc. More specifically, I will discuss autoformalization in the context of Sphere Packing in dimensions 8 and 24, the verification of AI solutions to conjectures using autoformalization, and the next steps in AI for mathematics.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>More information</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://aiformath.epfl.ch/\">https://aiformath.epfl.ch/</a> <br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-14T09:56:59", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-14T11:04:54", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 420", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20420", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67078120700", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "", "contact": "Host: Viktor Kuncak", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120366/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/50/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/151/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71586, "title": "Imaging Lunch: Introduction to image visualization with Napari", "slug": "imaging-lunch-introduction-to-image-visualizatio-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/imaging-lunch-introduction-to-image-visualizatio-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32920/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32920/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32920/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-17", "end_date": "2026-06-17", "start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "13:00:00", "description": "<div class=\"elementToProof\"><a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPv1jP72ScE3HcMHFH_k8gQW23odk_Lk-v5K_3Hlnzj9sZ4g/viewform?usp=publish-editor\">Registration</a>\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">This workshop will introduce participants to the open-source Python-based viewer Napari designed for interactive visualization and analysis of large, multidimensional scientific data.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"> </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Napari enables real-time exploration and navigation of a wide range of n-dimensional, multimodal datasets (e.g 2D/3D images, time series, multichannel/hyperspectral data, as well as tracks, vectors, meshes, etc).
