Related Upcoming Events:

Quantum networks are expected to boost the quantum technology by enabling distributed quantum computing and quantum communication. A coherent converter between microwave and optical photons could enable the creation of these quantum networks where quantum information is locally processed in the microwave regime and distributed by optical photons. I will talk about the general requirements and challenges of building a microwave-optical converter with high conversion efficiency.

Related Upcoming Events:

Have you ever wondered how the Advanced LIGO detectors can sense relative displacements more than 1,000 times smaller than the width of a proton? This unprecedented sensitivity is enabled in part by thin film technology! In this talk, we'll tour the Advanced LIGO detectors to get a sense for how we can detect gravitational waves with laser interferometers. We'll summarize the performance of today's gravitational-wave detectors and what we've learned about the Universe with gravitational waves so far.

The integration of machine learning (ML) into the traditional modeling workflows is replacing decades-old - often ad hoc - approximations (e.g., in constitutive laws) leading to new models that far outstrip their predecessors in accuracy and transferability. ”Pure” ML approaches are rarely successful but remarkable results can be achieved when integrated with domain knowledge. I will introduce a general formalism, the Atomic Cluster Expansion, for parameterizing many-body interaction and how it can be used for reduced-order modelling.

Related Upcoming Events:

In Raman scatering, pump photons that are incident on a material are able to emit or absorb materials' excitations such as phonons and orbital transitions. This process generates red-shifted (Stokes) and blue-shifted (antiStokes) photons that are usually uncorrelated with each other. When real or virtual excitations emitted by a Stokes photon are coherently absorbed by another pump photon, an entangled Stokes-antiStokes photon pair is created, in a process analogous to the formation of Cooper pairs in superconductors [1].

In this thesis, we study a class of non-topological solitons known as "Q-balls" which arise in complex scalar field theories with U(1) symmetry. We focus on the case where the U(1) symmetry is gauged and the theory admits a coupling to electromagnetism; the corresponding solitons are known as "gauged Q-balls". Using numerical simulations, we examine the dynamical behaviour of these objects in various scenarios. First, we investigate the classical stability of gauged Q-balls under assumptions of axial symmetry.

Abstract:
With the recent progress in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) using femtosecond lasers, laboratory photoelectron spectroscopy with an ultrafast, widely tunable vacuum-ultraviolet light source has become available. Whereas HHG-based photoemission experiments at kilohertz repetition rates have been severely limited by the space-charge effects in the past, the new development of compact HHG light sources with megahertz repetition rates allows for efficient photoemission and double photoemission experiments as is demonstrated here [1-7].
