Evening with Dr. Michiro Furusaka

On the 8th of December 2011, we were given the honor by having Dr. Michiro Furusaka who gave a talk about

Quantum Beam

Dr. MICHIHIRO FURUSAKA, PhD, is a professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at Hokkaido University, Japan, working in the field of neutron instrumentation and optics. He is a word-renowned quantum Science and researcher and his research area includes condensed matter physics, biophysics, chemical physics and nuclear engineering. Currently, he is developing a new mini-focusing small angle neutron scattering instrument. The talk was held at Universiti Tenaga Nasional's college of engineering, room BM-1-003/004.

The talk on quantum beams was quite an eye opener for us students. Dr. Furusaka expose us with the potential of the quantum beam physics and how it can be applied. A little bit disappointed thou because most of us can barely heard him. The talk went on for about an hour and basically he covers 3 topics from quantum beam physics:

• Light (laser), X-ray, y-ray, electron beam, neutron beam --- all quantum beams
• Neutron scattering. Transmission electron magnifier, x-ray diffraction --- all applications of quantum technology
• X-ray, proton radiation therapy; medical application --- all applications of quantum technology
