In this talk, Prof. Ricardo Decca presents our current efforts to perform a measurement of the elusive quantum friction. While there is now a more or less established theoretical picture of the...
Prof. Stephan Haas discussed how the many-body excitation spectrum of topological insulators is affected by the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions. In the one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger...
Dr. Sathwik Bharadwaj spoke about the concept of photonic frequency (ω) - momentum (q) dispersion that has been extensively studied in artificial dielectric structures such as photonic crystals and...
Prof Sean Molesky discussed how Lagrange duality heuristics for quadratically constrained quadratic optimization problems (QCQPs) can substantially lessen these knowledge gaps for a variety of common...
Prof. Barry Bradlyn spoke about the discovery of topological materials as one of the most transformative recent breakthroughs in condensed matter physics, revealing new conceptual surprises in...
Published in PR Applied, our recent work develops the theoretical and computational framework to analyze the spin angular momentum of thermal radiation from bodies with nonuniform temperature profiles...
Dr. Robert-Jan Slager covered a selection of our recent work on topological characterizations in a rather colloquial style. In particular, he reviewed how constraints on symmetry eigenvalues can...
Prof Joseph talked about Hyperbolic lattices which are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tiling of two-dimensional hyperbolic space, a non...
Check out our recent work with Nitrogen-vacancy centers which has been published in Optics Letters. We use photonic spin density to induce an effective static magnetic field for NV centers at room...
Our first speaker was a pioneer in the field of theoretical quantum optics - Prof. John Sipe from the University of Toronto. He talked about the response of solids to incident electromagnetic fields...
