Lecture

Physics Colloquium: Creating and Exploring Bose-Einstein Condensates of Dipolar Molecules" Presented by Dr. Sebastian Will - Columbia University

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

October 3, 2024, 4:25 - 5:25pm

It has been a long-standing dream in the field of ultracold quantum science to create Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of dipolar molecules. Already soon after the first atomic BECs, it was understood that molecular quantum systems with dipole-dipole interactions will open up…

Physics Colloquium: “Fluidics & Ionics in Low-dimensional Materials Devices” Presented by Dr. Matthias Kuehne - Brown University

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

October 10, 2024, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Advances in the science and engineering of low-dimensional materials have opened up new avenues to exploring the behavior of fluids and ions at the nanoscale. In this talk, I will discuss our recent advances in intercalation of 2D materials and water behavior in 1D single-digit…

Physics Colloquium: "Acoustic analog of condensed matter problems" Presented by Dr. Yun Jing - Penn State

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

October 31, 2024, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Acoustic lattices have proven to be a robust experimental platform for showcasing quantum mechanical phenomena on a macroscopic scale. In this presentation, I will illustrate examples of acoustic analogs of condensed matter problems, with a particular focus on those intertwined…

Physics Colloquium: “Modeling the evolution of astrophysical explosions in the time domain: a window into the transient and high-energy Universe” Presented by Dr. Eric Coughlin - Syracuse University

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

November 7, 2024, 4:25 - 5:25pm

The advent of time-domain astronomy has made the discovery of transients, which are explosive and highly energetic astronomical phenomena that rise and fade on human timescales, commonplace, with tens of (e.g.) supernovae discovered on a nightly basis. The contemporaneous…

Physics Colloquium: “Entanglement, von Neumann algebras, and the emergence of spacetime” Presented by Dr. Hong Liu - MIT

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

November 14, 2024, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Einstein's General Relativity says gravity is a manifestation of dynamic spacetime. There are, however, hints—particularly from string theory—that spacetime may be an emergent concept, analogous to fluids arising from large collections of molecules at macroscopic scales.  …
