David Weld (UCSB) “Probing quantum dynamics with strongly driven ultracold atoms”

Bloomberg 462

Speaker: David Weld of UCSB Location: Bloomberg 462 Title: Probing quantum dynamics with strongly driven ultracold atoms Abstract: Degenerate gases in modulated optical potentials are a flexible testbed for the experimental study of quantum matter driven far from equilibrium. I will present results from a sequence of recent experiments in this area, on topics ranging from […]

Meredith MacGregor (JHU) “Planet Formation Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum”

Bloomberg 272 - Schafler Auditorium

Planets form from disks of dust and gas surrounding young stars.  As they grow, these new planets inherit their chemical composition from the surrounding material and then sculpt it through gravitational interactions to form gaps and other asymmetric structures.  In the last decade, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has revolutionized our ability to study planet formation, allowing us to examine this process in high spatial and spectral resolution.  I will present highlights from ongoing work using ALMA and other […]

Mark Rudner (U Washington) “Dynamical quantum materials”

Bloomberg 462

Speaker: Mark Rudner (U Washington) “Dynamical quantum materials” When pushed out of equilibrium, quantum materials can host interesting types of internal fields -- dc or ac electric fields, currents, etc., -- that cannot persist in equilibrium. Feedback of these potentially very strong fields on the material's underlying band structure and quantum geometry can lead to […]

AMO Seminar: Aziza Suleymanzade (Harvard University)

Bloomberg 462

Video of the talk Passcode: YvKt0*4q Title: Building quantum networks: from solid-state defects and Rydberg atoms in cavities to a new scientific frontier with hybrid quantum systems. Abstract: The experimental development of quantum networks marks a significant scientific milestone, poised to enable secure quantum communication, distributed quantum computing, and entanglement-enhanced nonlocal sensing. In this talk, I will […]
