Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged as promising room-temperature quantum sensors for probing condensed matter phenomena ranging from spin liquids, two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, and magnons to hydrodynamic flow of current. Here we propose and demonstrate that the...

Congratulations to Ashwin for winning the Emil Wolf best student paper prize at Frontiers of Optics 2021. His research is related to dipole-dipole interactions in nanophotonics. These interactions occur between atoms or molecules and are responsible for phenomena like Van Der Waals forces - think...

Professor Zubin Jacob has been elected as one of the Optica (formerly OSA) 2022 Fellows Class. He is among 106 new fellows from 24 countries who were selected based on several factors, including distinguished contributions to education, research, engineering, business, and serving the community...

Our recent publication on long-range dipole-dipole interactions has featured as an online cover in Nano Letters . The paper shows that unique hybrid plasmonic lattice modes mediate dipole-dipole interactions between two different types of molecules over separation distances of ~800 nm. This is in...

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-Euclidean space of negative curvature. Hyperbolic tilings were studied by the geometer H.S.M. Coxeter and...

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 directly be linked to topological invariants, reproducing involved K-theory evaluations from a simple...

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 delicate balance between these competing processes resulting in novel optical phenomena...

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 Casimir force exerted by two other objects simultaneously. Using our unique sphere-plate-sphere Casimir...

We are delighted to share our recent work on “Nonequilibrium Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry: Theory and application to binary stars,” published in Physical Review Research. We develop a general formalism of Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment for objects at different temperatures. We also apply...

Dr. Zubin Jacob Presents "Heat-Assisted Detection and Ranging (HADAR)" in MRS Boston 2023. He will talk about how machine perception uses advanced sensors to collect information about the surrounding scene for situational awareness. State-of-the-art machine perception using active sonar, radar, and...
