Scanning time-resolved optical studies on Kagome superconductors The kagome lattice provides a fascinating playground to study geometrical frustration, topology and strong correlations. The newly discovered kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) exhibit exotic phases including charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity. In our study, we perform scanning birefringence and circular dichroism (CD) microscopy on CsV3Sb5. The scanning […]

Astrophysics Seminar: J. Richard Bond (University of Toronto)

von Neumann of (thermal) quantum entropy fame purportedly responded to Shannon asking what his novel classical information content measure should be called: paraphrasing, entropy, nobody understands it anyway. Nowadays thermal entropy, gravitational entropy and information entropy have merged as ideas, and expanded to encompass phase info as well as counting info, into quantum information aka […]

Department-wide colloquium: Jennifer Lotz (STScI)

Bloomberg 272 - Schafler Auditorium

TITLE: The Legacies of Hubble, Webb,  and future NASA astrophysics flagship missions ABSTRACT: For the past four decades, the Space Telescope Science Institute has served as the bridge between NASA's flagship astrophysics missions and the scientific community through its role as the science operations center for Hubble, Webb, and Roman.   The Hubble Space Telescope is […]

Condensed matter & biological physics seminar: Moussa Ngom (RPI)

TITLE: Optics with a Twist for Material Characterization ABSTRACT: Optical wavefront shaping (WFS) involves the ability to manipulate light fields both spatially and temporally. It has largely been enabled by the availability of spatial light modulators (SLM). SLMs are used to create arbitrarily complex light fields and also provide means to manipulate the funda- mental […]
