On March 24, 2025, as part of the Jožef Stefan Days, a public lecture titled Quantum noise and self-assembly, from the inception of the universe to the quantum computers was held at the Jožef Stefan Institute. The lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Dragan Mihailović, SQUASH advisor in the areas of Hybrid Quantum Devices and Quantum Calculations and Simulations.
In his talk, Prof. Mihailović explored fundamental aspects of self-assembly in many-body quantum systems, which are essential for understanding phenomena in cosmology, biology, and quantum technologies. Using real-time experimental measurements, his research team achieved a groundbreaking milestone – recording the motion of individual electrons for the first time. These findings reveal key mechanisms such as symmetry breaking, topological choreography, and fractional charges.
