Ten Minute Talk:"Dicke time crystals in driven-dissipative quantum many body systems" by Jamir Marino

In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on developing two novel platforms for quantum science and technology. The first is arrays of individually addressed single Er3+ ions in silicon nanophotonic circuits. These are promising for quantum networks because of their telecom wavelength optical transitions (1.53 µm), but also offer the possibility of strong ion-ion...

The New Kilogram

Location:10-250

Wolfgang Ketterle

On May 20, the definitions for the units of mass, charge, temperature and mole will change. This is a major change in the international system of units, eliminating all man-made objects from these definitions. This talk will provide some historical background and motivation for defining fundamental base units. However, the main focus of the talk...
