Kramers Nodal Lines, Weyl Fermions and Large Anomalous Hall Effect in SmAlSi and InxTaS2 Kramers nodal lines (KNLs) are a special type of Weyl line degeneracies that connect time reversal invariant momenta (TRIM). KNLs are robust to spin orbit coupling (SOC), and are inherent to all non-centrosymmetric achiral crystal structures. In this talk, I will […]

TITLE: New perspectives on the cold neutral interstellar medium: from the Milky Way to nearby galaxies, ABSTRACT: The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) is a vital player in the star formation process, based on its major contribution to the ISM's mass, and bears the brunt of the stellar feedback. In particular, the diffuse ISM is not […]

Title: Local Probes of Spin Excitations in Quantum Matter, Abstract: Major scientific discoveries are often enabled by new measurement capabilities that provide novel perspectives into complex physical problems. Recent advances and discoveries made on quantum materials have challenged experimentalists to come up with new ways to probe their intrinsic properties. In this talk I will […]

TITLE: Viable qubits in noisy and strongly interacting systems, ABSTRACT: Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems, quantum analogs of classical bits assuming binary values ‘0' or ‘1'. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of ‘0’ and ‘1’ persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescription to avoid decoherence of solid-state […]
