Speaker: Ofer Firstenberg Affiliation: Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Title: Diffusion and Diffraction of Polaritons in Atomic Media Abstract: We investigate the non-local optical response in a medium of diffusing atoms, where the spectra exhibit motional broadening and narrowing features. Light-matter polaritons traversing the…

Or Sattath, "A Quantum Lovasz Local Lemma"
Thu, Jun 10, 2010, 12:00 pm1:30 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. We present a quantum generalization of this result, which replaces probabilities with a weaker notion of relative dimension and allows to lower bound the…
