Gallallee Hall Room 227 Gallalee Hall, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Dr. Yu Li (Argonne National Laboratory) Title: The Pursuit of Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Materials- a Perspective from Interaction, Geometry and Symmetry Abstract: Discovering and investigating emergent phenomena in quantum materials is an exciting and challenging endeavor, requiring careful consideration and treatment of the large number of degrees of freedom inherent in condensed matter.
Colloquium – Marzieh Kavand – Spin Physics for Quantum Systems Applications
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Dr. Marzieh Kavand of Ohio State University Title: "Studying Spin Physics in 2D Materials and Organic Semiconductors for Spintronics and Quantum Systems Applications" Abstract: Atomic size defects in solid-state materials are a material platform for spin qubits. Electrical activation of atomic size defects offers more flexibility in quantum spin devices. Tunnelling current in tunnel
Colloquium – Daniel Carney – Fundamental Physics at the Quantum Limits of Measurement
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Daniel Carney (Berkeley National Laboratory) Title: Fundamental Physics at the Quantum Limits of Measurement Abstract: Progress in fundamental physics -- the search for new particles, forces, and laws of nature -- relies on probing regimes of nature that have not yet been explored. This requires continuous development of ultra-sensitive detectors. In recent years, a
HEP Seminar by Prof. Dr. Mark Srednicki (UCSB)
GL 310 Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesProf. Dr. Mark Srednicki will discuss Quantum Chaos and the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics, and Eigenstate Thermalization. Understanding the emergence of the rules of statistical mechanics for an isolated many-body system from an underlying quantum-mechanical microdynamics is a longstanding problem of fundamental physics.
Colloquium – Lavanya Ramaniah – First Principles Simulations of Condensed Phase Systems: From Si to DNA
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Dr. Lavanya Ramaniah (University of Mumbai) Title: First Principles Simulations of Condensed Phase Systems: From Si to DNA Abstract: The realistic understanding and description of physical and chemical systems, and consequent prediction of their behavior under a wide variety of conditions, is the dream of scientists. This dream has come closer to realization in
Colloquium – Bjoern Penning – Present and future Direct DM Searches
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Bjoern Penning (University of Michigan) Title: Present and future Direct DM Searches Abstract: We are discussing the prospects of ongoing and future dark matter search experiments. LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter experiment at the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The experiment utilizes a two-phase time projection
