Condensed Matter Seminar "Metallic conduction and superconductivity in the t-J model: Evolution of the spin states from half filling"

Condensed Matter Seminar "Metallic conduction and superconductivity in the t-J model: Evolution of the spin states from half filling"
Wed, Aug 11, 2010, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm
Abstract: Many believe, following Anderson, that the origin of the unusual behavior of cuprate superconductors is related to the physics of the undoped phase. However, this connection has not been established theoretically. I will discuss the properties of a renormalized Hamiltonian derived recently from the t-J model, which is

[TESTING BY SSG] Marc Smiciklas, "A Determination of $\alpha$ Using Precision Measurements of Helium Fine Structure"

[TESTING BY SSG] Marc Smiciklas, "A Determination of $\alpha$ Using Precision Measurements of Helium Fine Structure"
Tue, Aug 10, 2010, 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm
Recently published theoretical predictions by Pachucki and Yerokhin are in good agreement with the most precise measurements of helium fine structure and, for the first time, represent a complete calculation up to and including terms of order $\alpha^7$.

Andreas Wallraff, "Measuring the correlations of a Microwave Frequency Single Photon source"

Andreas Wallraff, "Measuring the correlations of a Microwave Frequency Single Photon source"
Wed, Jun 16, 2010, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ABSTRACT: Circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) allows for excellent control and measurement of the quantum mechanical properties of qubits, photons and their interactions. As a result, circuit QED is an ideal test bed to investigate the quantum nature of light.

Thu, Jun 10, 2010, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm

ABSTRACT: The Lovasz Local Lemma is a powerful tool in probability theory to show the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of ``weakly dependent" criteria.
