CLEO Talks
Check out contributions from our group at the CLEO Conference. We had a series of exciting talks given by Xueji Wang, Farid Kalhor, and Ashwin Boddeti.
We are launching a Pico-Seminar Series!
We will host a pico-seminar series with world-leading experts on the topic. While we are biased towards theorists, we will certainly have many experimental speakers as well. How does light interact with matter? The problem has attracted interest over a long time but only now do we have the...

Bulk Properties of Topological Crystalline Insulators by Prof. Barry Bradlyn
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 established topics such as the phases of matter and the behavior of electrons in insulators. Most work on...

A Dual Perspective On Inverse Design by Prof Sean Molesky
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 photonic design problems. As showcased by initial applications to topics including radiative...
Pico-electrodynamics by Dr. Sathwik Bharadwaj
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 metamaterials. However, the ω-q dispersion of electrodynamic excitations hosted in natural materials...
Quantum Friction & Its Effects In The Phase Of A Quantum System by Prof. Ricardo Decca
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 expected friction experienced by a dipole moving in front of a dielectric plate, experimental results are...
Fundamental efficiency bound for quantum coherent energy transfer in nanophotonics
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 Optics Express . By developing an exactly solvable theory for resonance energy transfer from the first...
