Physics Colloquium: "Exploring the quantum world with dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensates" Presented by Dr. Peter Engles - Washington State University

Location:

LL 316

April 23, 2026, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Ultracold quantum gases play a central role in modern quantum science. These systems consist of clouds of atoms cooled to temperatures near absolute zero using laser cooling and related techniques, making them among the coldest objects in the universe. Although quantum mechanics is…

Seminar

Physics Colloquium: "Quasicrystals of Ultracold Quantum Matter" Presented by Dr. Charles Brown - Yale

Location:

LL 316

April 30, 2026, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Quasicrystals are not spatially periodic, yet they exhibit long-range order. These aperiodic crystals feature rotational symmetries that are mathematically forbidden in periodic crystals. In 1984, Shechtman performed X-ray diffraction measurements on a metallic alloy, revealing 10…
