Special Seminar - Quantum simulation using cold atoms and a “brighter” future - Chen-Lung Hung, Caltech

Special Seminar - Quantum simulation using cold atoms and a “brighter” future - Chen-Lung Hung, Caltech
Tue, Feb 4, 2014, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm
Advances of quantum control in atomic and optical physics have made it possible to study intriguing phenomena originally discussed in condensed matter, nuclear, and gravitational physics. In quantum gas experiments, new insights are derived from out-of-equilibrium dynamics of novel quantum many-body phases.

Quantum Sciences Seminar Series - Yuimaru Kubo, CEA-Saclay – “Hybrid Quantum Circuit with a Superconducting Qubit and an Electron Spin Ensemble”
Wed, Dec 11, 2013, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm

We report the experimental realization of a hybrid quantum circuit combining a superconducting qubit and an ensemble of electronic spins (Fig. a). The qubit, of the transmon type, is coherently coupled to the spin ensemble consisting of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in a diamond crystal via a frequency-tunable superconducting resonator acting...

From building blocks to large galaxies: Towards understanding the formation of the Milky Way - Anna Frebel, MIT- Special Seminar

From building blocks to large galaxies: Towards understanding the formation of the Milky Way - Anna Frebel, MIT- Special Seminar
Fri, Sep 27, 2013, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm
Abstract: The early chemical evolution of the Galaxy and the Universe is vital to our understanding of a host of astrophysical phenomena. Since the oldest, most metal-poor stars are relics from the high-redshift universe; they probe the chemical and dynamical conditions of a time when large galaxies first began to assemble.

Special Seminar:Solving the Relativistic Inverse Stellar Structure Problem - Lee Lindblom, Theoretical Astrophysics, Caltech

Special Seminar:Solving the Relativistic Inverse Stellar Structure Problem - Lee Lindblom, Theoretical Astrophysics, Caltech
Wed, Aug 14, 2013, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Abstract: The inverse stellar structure problem determines the equation of state of the stellar matter from a knowledge of the stars' observable macroscopic properties, like their masses and radii. This seminar will discuss different approaches to solving this problem, including some new results based on spectral methods.

From molecules to development: revealing simple rules of biological clocks - Qiong Yang, Stanford University

From molecules to development: revealing simple rules of biological clocks - Qiong Yang, Stanford University
Tue, Mar 26, 2013, 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm
Organisms from cyanobacteria through vertebrates make use of biochemical and genetic oscillators to drive repetitive processes like cell cycle progression and vertebrate somitogenesis. Oscillators also allow organisms to anticipate natural environmental rhythms, as exemplified by the circadian clock.

Harnessing the Atom-like Properties of Single Spins in Diamond - Lee C. Bassett, Center for Spintronics and Quantum Computation, University of Califor

Harnessing the Atom-like Properties of Single Spins in Diamond - Lee C. Bassett, Center for Spintronics and Quantum Computation, University of Califor
Mon, Mar 25, 2013, 12:15 pm to 1:15 pm
The past decade has seen remarkable progress in the isolation and control of single spins in solid state devices. With electron spin coherence times in some materials now measured in seconds, single spins provide many features formerly unique to atomic systems in a form amenable to engineering complex integrated devices through semiconductor...

Condensed Matter Physics with Ultracold Atoms: from Mott Insulators to Topological Superfluids - Waseem Bakr - MIT
Mon, Dec 10, 2012, 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Abstract: Recent advances in probing and controlling ultracold atomic gases have allowed access to rich physics from the realm of condensed matter. In the first part of this talk, I will describe quantum gas microscopy, a new tool for imaging and manipulating strongly interacting quantum gases containing thousands of atoms at the single atom level.
