The design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time.

CUA Virtual Seminar – Polaron physics from the perspective of collective modes in one and two spatial dimension

Location:Zoom

Pavel Dolgirev

The Fermi-polaron problem of a mobile impurity interacting with fermionic medium emerges in various contexts, ranging from the foundations of Landau’s Fermi-liquid theory to electron-exciton interaction in semiconductors, to unusual properties of high-temperature superconductors. While classically the medium provides only a dissipative environment to the impurity, quantum picture of polaronic dressing is more intricate and...
