Condensed Matter seminar: "Designing quantum matter with superconducting nanowires"
Nina Markovic, Goucher College
Superconducting nanowires are an experimental realization of a model quantum system that features collective degrees of freedom and exhibits a host of non-equilibrium and non-local phenomena. The nature of the…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Nano-photonic phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures"
Dimitri Basov, Columbia University
Layered van der Waals (vdW) crystals consist of individual atomic planes weakly coupled by vdW interaction, similar to graphene monolayers in bulk graphite. These materials can harbor superconductivity and…
Astro Seminar: "Exodynamos: Magnetic Field Generation and Detectability"
TBD
Planetary magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Solar System and extrasolar planets are common in the galaxy. However, no extrasolar planetary magnetic field (or exodynamo) has yet been directly detected. Magnetic…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Braiding Light"
Claudio Chamon, Boston University
Many topological phenomena first proposed and observed in the context of electrons in solids have recently found counterparts in optical and acoustic systems. In this talk I will discuss non-Abelian Berry phases that…
