Quantum Materials and Nano-Fabrication with Javad ShabaniGuest: Dr. Javad Shabani is Professor of Physics at NYU, where he directs both the Center for Quantum Information Physics and the NYU Quantum Institute. He received his PhD from Princeton University in 2011, followed by postdoctoral research at Harvard and UC Santa Barbara in collaboration with Microsoft Research. His research focuses on novel states of matter at superconductor-semiconductor interfaces, mesoscopic physics in low-dimensional systems, and quantum device development. He is an expert in molecular beam epitaxy growth of hybrid quantum materials and has made pioneering contributions to understanding fractional quantum Hall states and topological superconductivity.Episode OverviewProfessor Javad Shabani shares his journey from electrical engineering to the frontiers of quantum materials research, discussing his pioneering work on semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems, topological qubits, and the development of scalable quantum device fabrication techniques. The conversation explores his current work at NYU, including breakthrough research on germanium-based Josephson junctions and the launch of the NYU Quantum Institute.Key Topics DiscussedEarly Career and Quantum JourneyJavad describes his unconventional path into quantum physics, beginning with a double major in electrical engineering and physics at Sharif University of Technology after discovering John Preskill's open quantum information textbook. His graduate work at Princeton focused on the quantum Hall effect, particularly investigating the enigmatic five-halves fractional quantum Hall state and its potential connection to non-abelian anyons.From Spin Qubits to Topological Quantum ComputingDuring his PhD, Javad worked with Jason Petta and Mansur Shayegan on early spin qubit experiments, experiencing firsthand the challenge of controlling single quantum dots. His postdoctoral work at Harvard with Charlie Marcus focused on scaling from one to two qubits, revealing the immense complexity of nanofabrication and materials science required for quantum control. This experience led him to topological superconductivity at UC Santa Barbara, where he collaborated with Microsoft Research on semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures.Planar Josephson Junctions and Material InnovationAt NYU, Javad's group developed planar two-dimensional Josephson junctions using indium arsenide semiconductors with aluminum superconductors, moving away from one-dimensional nanowires toward more scalable fabrication approaches. In 2018-2019, his team published groundbreaking results in Physical Review Letters showing signatures of topological phase transitions in these hybrid systems.Gatemon Qubits and Hybrid SystemsThe conversation explores Javad's recent work on gatemon qubits—gate-tunable superconducting transmon qubits that leverage semiconductor properties for fast switching in the nanosecond regime. While indium arsenide's piezoelectric properties may limit qubit coherence, the material shows promise as a fast coupler between qubits. This research, published in Physical Review X, represents a convergence of superconducting circuit techniques with semiconductor physics.Breakthrough in Germanium-Based DevicesJavad reveals exciting forthcoming research accepted in Nature Nanotechnology on creating vertical Josephson junctions entirely from germanium. By doping germanium with gallium to make it superconducting, then alternating with undoped semiconducting germanium, his team has achieved wafer-scale fabrication of three-layer superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor junctions. This approach enables placing potentially 20 million junctions on a single wafer, opening pathways toward CMOS-compatible quantum device manufacturing.NYU Quantum Institute and Regional EcosystemThe episode discusses the launch of the NYU Quantum Institute under Javad's leadership, designed to coordinate quantum research across physics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. The Institute aims to connect fundamental research with application-focused partners in finance, insurance, healthcare, and communications throughout New York City. Javad describes NYU's quantum networking project with five nodes across Manhattan and Brooklyn, leveraging NYU's distributed campus fiber infrastructure for short-distance quantum communication.Academic Collaboration and the New York Quantum EcosystemJavad explains how NYU collaborates with Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, RPI, Stevens Institute, and City College to build a Northeast quantum corridor. The annual New York Quantum Summit (now in its fourth year) brings together academics, government labs including AFRL and Brookhaven, consulting firms, and industry partners. This regional approach complements established hubs like the Chicago Quantum Exchange while addressing New York's unique strengths in finance and dense urban infrastructure.Materials Science Challenges and InterfacesThe conversation delves into fundamental materials science puzzles, particularly the asymmetric nature of material interfaces. Javad explains how material A may grow well on material B, but B cannot grow on A due to polar interface incompatibilities—a critical challenge for vertical device fabrication. He draws parallels to aluminum oxide Josephson junctions, where the bottom interface is crystalline but the top interface grows on amorphous oxide, potentially contributing to two-level system noise.Industry Integration and Practical ApplicationsJavad discusses NYU's connections to chip manufacturing through the CHIPS Act, linking academic research with 200-300mm wafer-scale operations at NY Creates. His group also participates in the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA)  based at Brookhaven National Laboratory.Notable Quotes"Behind every great experimentalist, there is a greater theorist.""A lot of these kind of application things, the end users are basically in big cities, including New York...people who care at finance financial institutions, people like insurance, medical for sensing and communication.""You don't wanna spend time on doing the exact same thing...but I do feel we need to be more and bigger."

As the Office of Personnel Management makes progress toward a long-pursued goal to move the government's paper-based retirement system into the 21st century, its director said a “fully automated” process is about six months away. OPM Director Scott Kupor said in an interview with FedScoop: “That's not going to happen overnight.” But, Kupor said he believes the agency can get there within six months “for sure.” The human capital agency hit a milestone in May with the launch of its Online Retirement Application, operationalizing a yearslong development effort and marking the end of paper file submissions. Yet behind the scenes at OPM, there's still much work to do to bring about a truly automated process. Though the application submissions are now online, humans still currently check the information coming in to make sure they've been completed properly and manually key in information into a calculator in “a significant number of cases,” Kupor said. That introduces “a huge amount of delay in the system” and is something the agency is working to fix. The aim is to ultimately have a system where the retiree, human resources, and the payroll provider all submit their information online and route that package electronically — not to a person in the agency's retirement services division, but to a Digital File System that can fill in the application and do the calculations, Kupor said. Under that future process, he said, all individuals at OPM will be doing is reviewing and spot checking. The simple target of what OPM is trying to do with retirement services, Kupor said, is to go paperless “as quickly as possible.” The Department of Energy is refreshing its investment in five research centers focused on quantum information science after five years of operation. In a Tuesday announcement, DOE said it's putting up $625 million to keep all of the existing National Quantum Information Science Research Centers (QIS) going for up to five more years, matching the same investment that launched those centers in 2020. Darío Gil, DOE undersecretary for science, said in a written statement: “President Trump positioned America to lead the world in quantum science and technology and today, a new frontier of scientific discovery lies before us. Breakthroughs in QIS have the potential to revolutionize the ways we sense, communicate, and compute, sparking entirely new technologies and industries.” The centers were authorized by Congress and signed into law in 2018 during the first Trump administration as part of the National Quantum Initiative Act. Since the first January 2020 investment from DOE — which envisioned “two to five multidisciplinary Quantum Initiatives” — centers led by its Brookhaven, Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and Fermi National Laboratories have been established. According to a DOE press release, the work of each center includes supporting science that has “disruptive potential across quantum computing, simulation, networking, and sensing,” as well as establishing “community resources, workforce opportunities, and industry partnerships.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Brookhaven is a large suburban town in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. With a population of 488,497 as of 2022,[2] it is the second most populous town in New York (after Hempstead, in the adjacent Nassau County) and the third most populous community in the state.[3]The first settlement in what is now Brookhaven was known as Setauket. Founded as a group of agricultural hamlets in the mid-17th century, Brookhaven first expanded as a major center of shipbuilding in the 19th century. Its proximity to New York City facilitated the establishment of resort communities, followed by a post-war population boom. In the 2020 census record, Brookhaven contained 485,773 people.[4]The township is home to two renowned research centers, Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combined these two research centers are approximately 50% of the Town's top ten employer's employee count. Tourism is also a major part of the local economy. The largest traditional downtowns are located in Port Jefferson, a regional transportation hub for the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry, and Patchogue. The area has long been serviced by the Long Island Rail Road.PICTURE: By Town of Brookhaven, detailed and uploaded by Hayden Soloviev - https://www.brookhavenny.gov/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=165320239

While most Roblox gamers are busy with worldly pursuits such as “dressing to impress” or “stealing a brainrot,” MinisterMatt and his Robloxian Children of God Ministries are using the popular gaming platform to spread the word of God. We review an hour-long Christian narrative special created entirely in Roblox called STANDING WITH GOD, subdivided into three episodes: “Challenges,” “Trials and Faith,” and “I Believe.” The story follows a college-aged protagonist named John as he navigates the conflicts between personal faith and a secular world. Filmed entirely on location in the popular Roblox RP server Brookhaven, John begins his first term at Brookhaven School and immediately struggles with self-doubt. His new friends accept his faith but treat it as a curiosity, accusing him of being “abnormal” for requesting wine-free drinks at parties instead of getting drunk like the rest. Teachers at the school target Christian students by “preaching” pro-evolution lectures that are explicitly anti-God, while the looming threat of LGBTQ acceptance encroaches on everyday life, as rainbow-haired men go on dates with each other in full public view. What's a Robloxian Christian to do? John seeks guidance from an older Christian mentor, a famous pastor whose program he follows on television. But more significant than the actual plot of STANDING WITH GOD (which is admittedly hard to follow thanks to the static Roblox animation and the unrelenting monotone of robot voices) is the sheer fact that a group of internet believers banded together to create a feature-length production using only the resources immediately available to them. The boundaries between film and performance, roleplay and acting, blur as the conventional movie set is digitized, and actors log into location (the RP server) in costume (avatar) to perform film ministry. STANDING WITH GOD proves that, just like “IRL” film production, it's not the size of your Robux budget but the urgency of your message that makes for truly passionate filmmaking.

So much to unwrap from Saturday, what with the thousands of 'No Kings Day' protests across the country - dozens just in Georgia - along with the Trump-coveted military parade and the shocking double-homicide in Minnesota.In Atlanta, estimates of 8,000 - 10,000 protestors descended on Liberty Square near the state capitol where activists listened to impassioned speeches and brought their "a-game" in signage. As was the case in most of the nation, metro Atlanta and Georgia protests were peaceful, but in Dekalb Count's Brookhaven and Doraville, police utilized flash bangs and teargas to disperse protestors, leading to some injuries and chaos - plus the arrest of a well-known El Salvadoran influencer/journalist working legally in the U.S. It seems there's a pattern: protests are largely peaceful and uneventful until tempers flare ... from behind the riot gear. Evidence of this on both MSNBC and CNN bears that out. Georgia state representative Ruwa Romman, meanwhile, addressed a 'No Kings' gathering in Philadelphia and I shared that on this podcast. ------Unfortunately, a deadly double-homicide shocked the nation awake that same day, with a Minnesota Democratic state legislator and her husband being shot & killed, along with another legislator and his spouse shot, as well. A near-two day manhunt ensued while right wing media sought to cast the assassin as a "Walz-appointed Democrat." They were partially right in that Walz had re-appointed him to a bipartisan business board, but Vance Boelter was no Democrat; in fact, his roommate says he'd be insulted to be portrayed as such.

These scholarships, ranging from $500 to $2,000 annually, are funded by 146 colleges and universities. Recipients were selected from 2025 National Merit Finalists based on academic excellence, recommendations, and test scores. The winners, representing schools like Lassiter, Walton, and Wheeler High, plan to pursue diverse fields such as engineering, law, genetics, and marine biology. By the program’s end, over 6,930 students will have received scholarships totaling nearly $26 million. STORY 2: Judge Pauses State Sanctions put on Cobb, Cities Sanctions cutting off state funding for Cobb County and its seven cities have been paused by a Cobb Superior Court ruling. The sanctions stemmed from Mableton and Cobb County missing a May 31 deadline to finalize a Service Delivery Strategy agreement. Mableton initially rejected the $9.5 million deal but later approved a revised version, allowing more time for payment. The court ruled the sanctions would harm Cobb’s 800,000 residents, halting state support for infrastructure, public safety, and more. If the agreement is finalized soon, sanctions could lift by July 1. Mableton plans to create a special service district to fund its payment. STORY 3: Cobb Advances 300-Apartment Development Amid School District Concerns The Cobb County Planning Commission approved a 300-unit apartment development on South Cobb Parkway near Cumberland Mall, replacing an aging hotel. Developer Alliance Residential plans a five-story building with amenities like a pool, gym, and co-working space, targeting young professionals, downsizers, and seniors. Despite concerns from the Cobb School District about overcrowding at Teasley Elementary, the commission voted unanimously to advance the project. Alliance argued the development would generate $1.19 million in annual tax revenue and suggested rezoning the area to Brumby Elementary, which has capacity. The proposal now heads to the Board of Commissioners for final approval on June 17. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Known for her global perspective and commitment to underserved communities, Cornelius remains a driving force in Cobb County. STORY 5: Pedestrian Hit by Two Cars in Marietta, Sustains Life-Threatening Injuries A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by two vehicles Monday night on Powder Springs St. in Marietta. The incident occurred around 11:26 p.m. near a QuikTrip gas station when the man, crossing in a crosswalk but against the traffic signal, was hit by a 2020 Mercedes Benz and then a 2015 Nissan. Both drivers remained on the scene and are cooperating with police. Video evidence from Cobb County Police supports the investigation, and no charges are expected. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Marietta Police Investigator D. Lester. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 6: Austell Appoints First Woman Police Chief in Cobb County Shameta Jones-Harrell has been appointed as Austell’s new police chief, becoming the first woman to hold the position in Cobb County history. The City Council unanimously approved her promotion, praising her leadership. A 25-year law enforcement veteran, Jones-Harrell holds a criminal justice degree and has served in various roles, including deputy chief in Austell and major in Brookhaven. She has managed multiple divisions, from community engagement to training. Jones-Harrell has been interim chief since March and officially steps into the role following former Chief Scott Hamilton’s resignation. Capt. Cecil Lloyd Garett will now serve as deputy chief. STORY 7: Georgia Department of Driver Services Implements Federal Commercial Medical Certificate Mandate Starting June 18, 2025, Georgia CDL holders requiring medical certifications must have their Medical Certificates submitted directly to the FMCSA by their Medical Examiner, as per the Medical Certification Integration Final Rule. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) will no longer accept hard copies via mail, fax, email, online, or in-person. Medical providers will input the information into the National Registry, which FMCSA will transmit to DDS. Existing certificates remain valid until expiration. DDS advises customers to create an Online Services Account for easy monitoring and to handle transactions like license replacements or address changes online. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Podcast 288 – Smart Branding and Apartment Density Transformed Chamblee Over the Last Decade – Van Pappas   Chamblee has rebranded, reimagined, and revitalized itself. Van Pappas shares how smart city planning and a bold branding push turned an industrial corridor into one of North DeKalb's hottest areas. The key? Apartment density, a clear identity, and big community pride. Van was there from the start, on the branding committee that helped bring the iconic red Chamblee sign to Peachtree Boulevard. He explains how signage isn't just decoration, it is declaration.   Van also dives into starting his Chamblee Area Restaurant Review Facebook Group during Covid, and growing it nearly as large as my Dunwoody version. What began as a way to support struggling restaurants became a digital town square, where locals post reviews and swap recommendations.   The Chamblee Rail Trail is more than a sidewalk. Van breaks down how the trail is expanding to connect key parts of the city and tie into a larger regional network. With plans to link Chamblee to Doraville's Assembly development, Brookhaven's greenways, and eventually the BeltLine, the trail is redefining how locals experience the city, without ever getting in a car.   Learn more about Van: oxygenfinancial.com/van-pappas   https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-288-smart-branding-and-apartment-density-transformed-chamblee-over-the-last-decade-van-pappas     What's Up Dunwoody Links:  

May 18, 2025Three thoughts on how to respond in seasons of hurt.

Weather Roof: A Story of Grit, Hustle, and Outlaw Entrepreneurship In the heart of Mississippi, two young entrepreneurs, Walker Pearson and Corbin Allen, have built Weather Roof, a roofing company that embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and carving your own path. Founded in 2020 by Walker, Weather Roof is more than a business—it's a testament to resilience, organic growth, and the audacity to chase success against all odds. Walker, now 26, and Corbin, 27, are the definition of outlaw entrepreneurs. Their journey began with humble roots and hard lessons. Walker faced personal rock bottom in his early 20s, battling addiction and a toxic relationship that led to multiple stints in the Madison County Correctional Facility. It was there, during a 32-day stay, that he had his "aha" moment. Surrounded by career criminals, he realized he didn't belong in that world. An ankle monitor and court-ordered programs forced him to confront his choices, sparking a fire to rebuild his life. He started Weather Roof as a one-man operation, driven by a vision and a name that popped into his head one day. With no formal business plan, he leaned on sheer determination, knocking on doors to sell roofs—an approach many shy away from but one that became the cornerstone of Weather Roof's organic culture. Corbin's story is equally compelling. Growing up in Brookhaven, Mississippi, he faced a childhood marked by instability, with a mother struggling with drug addiction and a father in and out of prison. An 8th-grade dropout, Corbin found himself in trouble throughout his teens, culminating in a two-year prison sentence at 18. In Rankin County Jail, a fellow inmate's prophetic words gave him hope: “God can use a failure, but He can't use a quitter.” That moment ignited a transformation. Upon release, Corbin taught himself carpentry through YouTube, hustling to build porch swings and furniture to make ends meet. His work ethic landed him a job in air conditioning, where he shattered expectations, selling $3 million in systems in a single year, outpacing seasoned salespeople despite his lack of formal education. Together, Walker and Corbin have scaled Weather Roof into a powerhouse with nine branded trucks and a 20-person team. Their success stems from a relentless door-to-door approach, undeterred by rejection, guns pulled, or odd encounters—like the client who sealed a $28,000 deal with a spit-soaked handshake. They've turned “no” into fuel, building a brand that now attracts clients through referrals, Google, and social media. Yet, they remain grounded in their roots, fostering a culture of growth, fitness, and mutual support, inspired by like-minded peers like Michael Deere. Weather Roof's story is about creating your own luck. From Walker's childhood dream of a Lamborghini to Corbin's hustle to provide a better life for his four kids, they've embraced the pain of entrepreneurship—mental, physical, and emotional. Their mantra? Outwork everyone, surround yourself with truth-tellers, and never fear failure. As Walker puts it, “You gotta cook.” And cook they have, proving that with grit and audacity, even the toughest storms can lead to clear skies.

I twisted Chip Matthews arm into sitting in with me for 2 full hours this morning so I could have someone in-studio to bounce a bunch of different topics off of and I believe we created some radio gold this morning!! 1- I saw a "Let's talk Rankin County" Facebook group post about 2 women arguing because one of the cut in line in front of the other one in the Pearl Wal-Mart grocery p/u line. This spawned a conversation about how lazy we've gotten, we're literally fighting on the internet about someone cutting the other person off in line instead of getting out of our vehicles to fight in the line where the disrespect happened. 2- I got out and held signs and waived at Brandon citizens on behalf of Mayoral candidate Fred Shanks this weekend and was shocked at how nasty some of the current mayors supporters were to us, flipping us off and cussing at us to support their guy was interesting to say the least (keep in mind the majority of our group were women 40 & older so it just wreaked of disrespect) 3- The conversation about Brandon politics turned into a conversation about voter I.D. laws in Mississippi and I was blown away to find out Chip's claims about Mississippi voters being allowed to vote without an I.D. as long as they brought it back within 5 business days and then finding out that you can vote with an expired I.D. that's been expired for 10 years. 4. Over the weekend an illegal immigrant was arrested in Brookhaven, Mississippi for destroying a Tesla with a set of wire cutters at a Wal-Mart in what I consider an act of political terrorism. 5- Ridgeland, Ms. Police Chief Brian Meyers is upset with the changes in PERS to new hires, Chip and I discuss why we disagree with his point and take a dive into why PERS is bad for everyone else not in it.

On this episode, we dig into a chilling tale from Brookhaven Court, where Ella and her family are thrust into a living nightmare. What begins as subtle shadows and faint whispers escalates into violent disturbances, eerie apparitions, and a haunting presence that refuses to leave.  With religious rituals failing to bring peace and an unsettling history unearthed, this story leaves us questioning: are these restless spirits, or is something more sinister lurking within the walls?
