Student registration is currently open on Handshake and will close the day of the event. Interested businesses and organizations are encouraged to register, new registrations will not be accepted after March 24^th. 

The PNB Career and Resource Fair is free and open to all majors, though organizations attending were selected for their fit with psychology, neuroscience, and biology majors. 

We have over 50 organizations registered to attend the fair, including:

• Biotechnology companies
• Mental healthcare businesses and facilities
• Community organizations
• Local law enforcement and correctional institutions
• Local and national government organizations
• Graduate and professional programs from UK and the surrounding areas
• On-campus support organizations
• Student organizations

A complete list of organizations attending the fair can be found HERE.

Students will find opportunities to:

• Explore career and employment options
• Find volunteer and internships opportunities
• Explore graduate and professional programs
• Meet with graduate and professional students currently enrolled in various programs at UK
• Connect with student organizations on campus

Also, students can enter to win one of four $1000 scholarships!

To maximize your interactions at the fair, students are encouraged to visit the Stuckert Career Center to workshop their resumes and practice their interview skills.

Title: Witnessing quantum correlations and entanglement in materials

Abstract: Entanglement and other nonclassical correlations are ubiquitous in quantum many-body systems. This is well-established in quantum information applications, where they represent resources to be harnessed for quantum operations. However, they also play a prominent role in theories of important condensed matter phenomena, such as novel phases of matter. Yet there has been a distinct lack of viable methods to detect these correlations in the solid state, impeding our ability to identify suitable materials and to unravel their secrets. In this talk I will describe the rapid progress made in recent years towards finding useful measures of these properties, which can both be modeled theoretically and measured experimentally in a model-independent fashion, by making use of information “hidden” in spectroscopic data. By employing entanglement witnesses—quantities that are akin to order parameters for certain classes of entangled states—multipartite entanglement has now been observed in quantum spin systems and strongly correlated electron systems. Such quantum information-informed approaches offer new quantitative insights into many-body states and can provide hints for modeling of enigmatic states in quantum materials.
