Coherent Nonlinear Optical Propagation Processes in Hyperbolic Metamaterials
Online Presentations | 08 Jun 2017 | Contributor(s):: Alexander K. Popov
Coherence and interference play an important role in classic and quantum physics. Processes to be employed can be significantly enhanced and the unwanted ones suppressed through the deliberately tailored constructive and destructed interference at quantum transitions and at nonlinear optical...

Soft, Biocompatible Optoelectronic Interfaces to the Brain
Online Presentations | 08 Jun 2017 | Contributor(s):: John A. Rogers
In this talk, we will describe foundational concepts in physics and materials science for these types of technologies, in 1D, 2D and 3D architectures. Examples in system level demonstrations include experiments on freely moving animals with ‘cellular-scale’, injectable optofluidic...

What is Markovian and non-Markovian in Quantum Mechanics: New Approaches and Viewpoints
Online Presentations | 15 May 2017 | Contributor(s):: Francesco Ciccarello
While in classical physics the notion of what is Markovian or not is well defined, this is not the case when it comes to open quantum systems. What makes a quantum dynamics Markovian or non-Markovian (NM)? Traditional answers to this question involve the celebrated Lindblad master equation (ME)...

Laser Filtering, Metamaterials, and Commercializing Through the Lens of the Mythical Person Month
Online Presentations | 09 Jan 2017 | Contributor(s):: Themos Kallos
In this work we investigate whether optical metamaterials in particular may require more than the typical resources to lead to successful commercialization. We also compare the estimated efforts with other technology commercialization projects of the recent past. ...

Photonic Structures with Topological Robustness: from Classical to Quantum
Online Presentations | 09 Jan 2017 | Contributor(s):: Mohammad Hafezi
In this talk, I demonstrate how similar physics can be observed for photons; specifically, how various quantum Hall Hamiltonians can be simulated in an optical platform. I report on the first observation of topological photonic edge state using silicon-on-insulator technology and our recent...
