Weak ergodicity breaking from quantum many-body scars
When: June 14, 2018 09:00
The statistical mechanics description of many-particle systems rests on the assumption of ergodicity, the ability of a system to explore all allowed configurations in the phase space. For quantum many ...

Magnetism in Quantum Gases
When: June 12, 2018 16:00
With quantum gases, one can explore magnetic ordering and dynamics in regimes inaccessible in solid-state systems. For example, in degenerate spinor Bose gases, magnetization of the atomic spin is es ...

Simulating the Haldane model with ultracold atoms: different perspectives
When: June 07, 2018 09:00
The Haldane model [1] is a paradigmatic two-dimensional tight-binding model describing a topological insulator, characterized by the breaking of time-reversal symmetry due the presence of a magnetic ï ...

Levitated Nano-Magnets as Quantum Transducers
When: April 11, 2018 13:30
Coherent coupling between a single spin degree of freedom and a massive mechanical mode is still an outstanding challenge. Such a system is highly desirable, as it would allow preparation of macroscop ...

Lateral van der Waals forces
When: March 12, 2018 11:00
Van der Waals forces between atoms are universally assumed to act along their mutual separation vector. Recently, we have shown [1] that this is not always the case - lateral van der Waals forces betw ...

Quantum optics in structured photonic environments
When: March 05, 2018 11:00
Recent experimental developments in nanophotonics [1], circuit QED [2] and atomic physics [3] allow one to engineer systems where atoms (or other quantum emitters) couple to structured photonic enviro ...

Matter wave interferometers interacting with the external world: decoherence, gravity, complementarity and time irreversibility.
When: February 22, 2018 11:00
Matter-wave interferometry provides an excellent tool for probing the environment and studying its coupling to isolated atoms. We will present several interferometry experiments done with a BEC on an ...
