Exploring Synthetic Quantum Materials in Superconducting Circuits
Online Presentations | 30 Apr 2020
Superconducting circuits have emerged as a competitive platform for quantum computation, satisfying the challenges of controllability, long coherence and strong interactions. I will show our recent experiments to apply this toolbox to the exploration of strongly correlated quantum materials made...

Many-body Expedition from Semiconductors to Atomic BECs
Online Presentations | 11 Dec 2019 | Contributor(s):: Mackillo Kira
Specifically, I will overview how methods of semiconductor quantum optics relate to phenomena in strongly interacting Bose gas. This expedition focuses on the first unitary BEC experiment which demonstrated that a surprisingly large BEC fraction survived a quench from weak to unitary...

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.

Many Body Effects on Optical Properties of Graphene
Online Presentations | 13 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s):: Subhasis Ghosh
Graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) material shows remarkable optical and electronic properties, such as a linear energy dispersion, chirality and half-integer quantum Hall effect. Multilayer graphene flakes, held together by weak van der Waals forces have also attracted attention due to...
