Date: April 19 2026 10:00 am - Noon EDT (16:00 - 18:00 CET)
Abstract: While we are used to heating and pushing with light, there is also optical cooling and pulling. I will talk about negative radiation pressure,
potential ways to generate it, and its novel applications, like non-ionizing medical scanners, 2WQC (two-way quantum computers)
in theory solving NP problems, also potential astronomical sources and their observation.
