Physics Seminar: Spin transport by a supercurrent in a room-temperature magnon Bose-Einstein condensate

N-823

Speaker: Dr. Oleksandr Serha University of Kaiserslautern Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Abstract: With the fast growth in the volume of information being processed, researchers are charged with the task of finding new ways for fast and energy efficient computing. An extraordinary challenge is the use of macroscopic quantum phenomena such as magnon Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) for the

Physics Seminar: Quantum materials: insights from near field nano-optics

N-823

Presented by Prof. Dmitri Basov Columbia University New York, NY, USA Abstract In 1944 Hans Bethe reported on “the diffraction of electromagnetic radiation by a hole small compared with the wave-length” . This seminal paper was among the early precursors to a new and vibrant area of research: near field nano-optics. I will discuss recent

Physics Seminar: Charged Lepton Flavor Violation at Fermilab: The Mu2e Experiment

N-823

Presented by: Dr. Kevin Lynch, York College of CUNY Jamaica, NY Abstract: The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for the coherent, neutrinoless conversion of a muon to an electron in the field of an atomic nucleus. Such charged lepton flavor violating events have never been observed, but are predicted to occur in many Beyond

Title: Quantum Many-Body Physics of Qubits Professor Leonid Glazman Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA Abstract: The ongoing development of superconducting qubits has brought some basic questions of many-body physics to the research forefront, and in some cases helped solving them. I will address two effects in quantum condensed matter highlighted by the development of a

Physics Seminar: Control of light-matter interaction in 2D materials

N-823

Presented by: Prof. Vinod Menon of City College of CUNY New York, NY Two-dimensional (2D) Van der Waals materials have emerged as a very attractive class of optoelectronic material due to the unprecedented strength in its interaction with light. In this talk I will discuss approaches to enhance and control this interaction by integrating these
