Correlated multi-particle excitations in reduced-dimensionality systemsWith the experimental isolation of atomically thin materials, it is now possible measure a variety of charged and neutral multiparticle excitations (trions, biexcitons, etc.) in these systems, many of which display large binding energies. On the theory side, however, while quasiparticle and neutral optical excitations have been successfully treated in ...

People and Robots SeminarFor the past several decades, consumer applications of robotics have been more science fiction than reality. However, recent developments in deep-learning, cloud AI, and plummeting prices of both computation and sensing have created the necessary components for a rapidly growing consumer robotics industry to finally emerge. In this talk, I’ll discuss the ...

Quantum Computing with Trapped IonsIndividual atoms are standards for quantum information technology, acting as qubits that have unsurpassed levels of quantum coherence, can be replicated and scaled with the atomic clock accuracy, and allow near-perfect measurement. Atomic ions can be confined by silicon-based chip trays with lithographically-defined electrodes under high vacuum in a room ...
