Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

The Quantum Science Seminar is back and we have an exciting lineup of speakers for you:

  - Sep. 3 (TOMORROW): Immanuel Bloch on Quantum Simulation

  - Sep. 10: Nir Davidson on Computing with Lasers
  - Sep. 17: Piet Schmidt on Precision Measurement
  - Sep. 24: Misha Lukin on Atom Arrays
  - Oct. 1: Peter Zoller on Programmable Quantum Simulators

Are you a PhD or Postdoc and did you do something new and cool within the last year that resulted in a publication? If so, please tell us about it and present your work in our very first Young Researcher Session on November 5th. Check out 

and write us an email!

We are also attaching an updated poster for the Fall and would be grateful if you would put up the poster at your institution where young students can see it.

 

Quantum Science Seminar #16 - Immanuel Bloch
September 3rd, 17:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time)  

Quantum Simulations using Ultracold Quantum Matter

Abstract: More than 30 years ago, Richard Feynman outlined his vision of a quantum simulator for carrying out complex calculations on physical problems. Today, his dream is a reality in laboratories around the world. This has become possible by using complex experimental setups of thousands of optical elements, which allow atoms to be cooled to Nanokelvin temperatures, where they almost come to rest. Recent experiments with quantum gas microscopes allow for an unprecedented view and control of such artificial quantum matter in new parameter regimes and with new probes. In our quantum gas microscope experiments, we can detect both charge and spin degrees of freedom simultaneously, thereby gaining maximum information on the intricate interplay between the two in the paradigmatic Hubbard model. In my talk, I will show how we can reveal hidden magnetic order, directly image individual magnetic polarons or probe the fractionalisation of spin and charge in dynamical experiments. For the first time we thereby have access to directly probe non-local ‘hidden’ correlation properties of quantum matter and to explore its real space resolved dynamical features also far from equilibrium.
