Controlling and probing non-abelianness and quantum mass acquisition in spinor condensates

Location:26-214
Dr. Masahito Ueda, University of Tokyo
Ten Minute Talk:"TBD" by Yiheng Duan

In this talk, I will address two issues concerning spinor condensates. First, I will show that the non-abelian feature of a synthetic gauge potential can be controlled and probed by using fermions immersed in a spinor condensate. Second, I will argue that a spinor condensate is an excellent candidate for the observation of quantum mass acquisition — a so-far elusive phenomenon in which a massless quasiparticle becomes massive due to quantum correction.
