Professor Janos Bergou Speaks at Rio de Janeiro Conference Held in Honor of Brazilian Physicist Luiz Davidovich

Dr. Janos Bergou, of the Physics & Astronomy Department, was one of 19 invited speakers at a conference in Rio de Janeiro in June.  The conference was held in honor of the 70th birthday of Luiz Davidovich, President of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, a professor of physics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and a member of US Academy of Sciences, the only Brazilian physicist to earn this honor.  Among the speakers were two Nobel Laureates in physics, a Wolf Prize winner and several very prominent scientists from the US and Europe. Professor Bergou spoke about recent work he has done on optimized measurements for quantum information processing.  An interesting side note: the daughter of Dr. Davidovich is part of a New York indie rock band called “Hunters”.
