Light-matter interaction in materials is central to several photonic devices from lasers to detectors. Over the past decade, nanophotonics, the study of how light flows on the nanometer scale in...
In the given talk, Prof. Naik spoke about quantum materials possessing a complex energy landscape arising from the competition between many microscopic processes. A stimulus such as light can tip the...
Excited to announce that our work on “Observation and control of Casimir effects in a sphere-plate sphere system” is published in Nature. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an object under the...
In this talk, the Prof discussed some of the past and ongoing research in the application of machine learning methods to efficiently guide materials design and discovery efforts. The overarching theme...
In our recent work in Optics Express, we discover the quantum analog of the well-known classical maximum power transfer theorem, typically used in classical circuit design. By developing a unified...
Our work to derive a unified quantum theory of coherent and incoherent energy transfer between two atoms—donor and acceptor—valid in arbitrary Markovian nanophotonic environments is published in Optic...
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...
