Abstract: Speaker: Dr. Zhen Zhang Paper 1: Title: Localization in silicon nanophotonic slow-light waveguides Journal reference: Nature Photon. 2, 90 (2008). Abstract: Slowing down light on a chip can...
Abstract: We generalize the two-dimensional Landau level problem to three dimensions and above for both the relativistic and non-relativistic cases. For the 3D case filled with fermions, the systems ...
Abstract: I will discuss how we have taken advantage of recent advances in photonic quantum information processing to present the experimental implementations of 1. Analog quantum simulation; 2. Qua...
Abstract: The collective behavior of a many-body system near a continuous phase transition is insensitive to the details of its microscopic physics. Characteristic features near the phase transition,...
Abstract: We present the design and construction of a novel apparatus to rapidly and simply generate a 23Na Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in hybrid magnetic and optical traps. Sodium atoms are colle...
