Physics Colloquium: “Exploring emergent collective phenomena with ultracold atoms and photons” Presented by Dr. Hikaru Tamura - IMS

Location:

Lewis Lab 316

February 20, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Collecting many elements often gives rise to fascinating emergent phenomena that cannot be predicted from the individual elements. Understanding and controlling collective phenomena could potentially lead to the discovery of new properties and functionalities, advancing technologies…

February 27, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Atomic vapor cells can contain a relatively large number of coherent atoms within convenient and compact form factors, which enables them to be used in diverse applications. For example, alkali-noble gas co-magnetometers can be used to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model…
