We are excited to announce the Colloquium by Professor Jun Ye from JILA and NIST.
Title: Quantum matter, clock, and fundamental physics
Abstract:
Precise engineering of quantum states of matter and major advances in optical coherence and laser technology are revolutionizing the performance of measurement instruments to new levels, including atomic clocks. Ultracold Sr atoms loaded into arrays of optical traps highlights new measurement capabilities arising from the exploration of quantum science and precision physics. This increasingly powerful precision frontier is promising greater opportunities for probing fundamental physics and emerging phenomena.
The colloquium will be held online at 4:00–5:30 PM EST on Friday 12/3/2021.
Zoom link will be announced through emails to all OCPA members. If you are an existing member, please login to check if your email is accurate. If you are not a member, please sign up for a new membership. A free one-year membership is offered through 12/31/2021.
