Physics Seminar: Entangled States and Quantum Weirdness

N-823

Entangled states of many particles, which are states that cannot be factored into a product of states of individual particles, have been with us since the introduction of quantum mechanics, but were first explicitly singled out by Schroedinger in a discussion of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, to discuss the extremely un-classical nature of these states

Physics Seminar: Black phosphorus and phosphorene: from 3D to 2D and back

N-823

Presented by Dr. Scott C. Warren of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Abstract: Phosphorene, a two-dimensional (2D) form of elemental phosphorus, has attracted considerable interest in recent years.  This interest is due, in large part, to predictions and observations of high mobility (several thousand cm2/Vs), a highly tunable band gap, anisotropic optoelectronic properties, and strong
