Physics Colloquia

Benjamin Jones University of Texas-Arlington, Physics Department Abstract: The goal of future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is to establish whether neutrino is its own antiparticle, by searching for an ultra-rare decay process with a half life that may be more than 10^28 years.  Such a discovery would have major implications for cosmology and particle […]

David Moore Yale University, Department of Physics Abstract: The development of optomechanical systems has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach (and surpass) quantum measurement limits, they can enable new searches for weakly coupled phenomena, including dark matter, gravitational waves, "fifth’’ forces, and sterile neutrinos. As a […]

Dylan Yost Colorado State University, Department of Physics Abstract: Because of atomic hydrogen’s simplicity, its energy levels can be precisely described by theory. This has made hydrogen an important atom in the development of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics (QED). While one can use hydrogen spectroscopy to determine the Rydberg constant and the proton charge […]

Mark Siemens University of Denver, Department of Physics & Astronomy Abstract: Entangled photons are a valuable resource for quantum logic, imaging, and information theory. While measuring entangled state amplitudes is […]
