Optical Hyperspace: Light in Hyperbolic Materials
Online Presentations | 14 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Evgenii Narimanov
Hyperbolic metamaterias are strongly anisotropic composite media that behave as either metals or dielectrics in different directions. They can be fabricated n many different ways, such as metallic layers that are separated from each other by thin dielectric spacers, or using arrays of parallel...

Can Plasmonics Help Outpace Quantum Decoherence?
Online Presentations | 07 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev
We discuss an unorthodox way to overcome quantum decoherence by using plasmonics that can speed up quantum processes to the extent that they outpace and thus become immune to decoherence.

Topological Materials as Platforms for New Particles and Electromagnetic Responses
Online Presentations | 06 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s):: Joel Moore
We then turn to how topological Weyl and Dirac semimetals can show unique electromagnetic responses; we argue that in linear response the main observable effect solves an old problem via the orbital moment of Bloch electrons, and how in nonlinear optics there should be a new quantized effect,...

Manipulating Strongly Interacting Individual Quanta: Photon Molecules and 51 Atomic Qubits
Online Presentations | 26 Mar 2019 | Contributor(s):: Vladan Vuletic
I will discuss two applications: By coherently coupling light to Rydberg excitations in a dense atomic medium, we have realized a highly nonlinear optical medium where the interactions between individual photons are so strong that two photons can even form a bound state.
