Significant efforts have been made to interface cold atoms with micro- and nano-photonic systems in recent years. Originally, it was envisioned that the migration to these systems from free-space atomic…
Join CUA members to learn hands-on about some of the research that goes on in the CUA! Activities include a gum-drop model Ion Trap, a 6-foot Tornado Simulator, experiments with…
…change everyday objects, and a station to make your own holograms. The event will kick off with a short talk by Professor Martin Zwierlein, followed by interactive demonstrations. Free! Drop-In….
Understanding out-of-equilibrium phenomena in quantum many-body systems is one of the great challenges in physics. Cold atoms provide a promising experimental platform for exploring the dynamics away from equilibrium and…
…particular, radioactive atoms and molecules – those containing nuclei with extreme proton-to-neutron ratios – can be artificially created to enhance and study specific nuclear phenomena. Laser spectroscopy experiments of atoms…
…tight-binding limit. Combined with strong qubit-photon interactions, these systems can be used to study dynamical phase tranisitions, many-body phenomena, and spin models in driven-dissipative systems. I will show that waveguide…
…of three-component fermions [3]. This latter study has uncovered qualitatively surprising dynamics and presents an open puzzle regarding the three-body recombination of three-component fermions [3]. If time permits, I will…
Physicists imagine a day when they will be able to design a clock that’s so precise, it will be used to detect subtle disturbances in space-time or to find the…
Harvard’s breakthrough in quantum computing features a new logical quantum processor with 48 logical qubits, enabling large-scale algorithm execution on an error-corrected system. This development, led by Mikhail Lukin, represents…
