Murray Holland CU Boulder Abstract: The creation of a matter-wave interferometer can be achieved by loading Bose-Einstein condensed atoms into a crystal of light formed by interfering laser beams.It has recently been realized that by translating this optical lattice in a specific way, the traditional steps of interferometry can all be implemented, i.e., splitting, propagating, […]

Nanfang Yu Columbia University Abstract: In this talk, I will share with the audience recent and on-going work in my lab on metasurfaces and biophotonics. Metasurfaces utilize strong interactions between light and nanostructured thin films to control light with subwavelength precision. I will describe how we use metasurface as a technology platform to innovate free-space […]

Phil Richerme Indiana University at Bloomington Abstract: Calculating observable properties of quantum chemical systems is a promising application of quantum computers. While most quantum algorithms and experimental demonstrations to date have focused on calculations of electronic structure in molecules, we have recently developed a protocol to study nuclear dynamics processes as well. In this talk, […]

Lu Lu University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract: Recent detections of neutrinos with energies above 5 PeV by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer detector at the South Pole, and KM3NeT, a next-generation neutrino telescope located in the Mediterranean Sea, confirm a diffuse flux at extreme energies. This includes a possible neutrino candidate with an […]
