Quantum Criticality and Density Correlations in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gases
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,...

Generating sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in hybrid magnetic quadrupole
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...

Quantum Monte Carlo Studies of Correlated Electrons on Honeycomb Structures
Abstract: At sufficiently low temperatures, condensed-matter systems tend to develop order. An notable exception to this behavior is quantum spin-liquids, where fluctuations prevent transition to an ...

Interface between Topological and Superconducting Qubits
Abstract: We propose and analyze an interface between a topological qubit and a superconducting flux qubit. In our scheme, the interaction between Majorana fermions in a topological insulator is cohe...

Long-Lived Solid-State Room-Temperature Quantum Memory
Abstract: One of the major obstacles in quantum information technology is to prevent a quantum bit (qubit) from dephasing, while still being able to reliably manipulate and readout the qubit. In the ...
