Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Sources of single and entangled photons are needed for many areas of quantum photonics, including quantum computation, cryptography, and sensing. Solid-state emitters that may be triggered on-demand are especially promising for long-term scalability and integration with classical communication hardware. Over the past decade, our research group has been developing laser triggering schemes for...

914. Many-body quantum physics with an optical centrifuge: spinning particles and quasiparticles in superfluid helium

Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

We use ultrashort laser pulses—including a unique tool known as an optical centrifuge—to coherently control and probe ultrafast, nonequilibrium many-body dynamics in superfluid helium. In this talk, I will present two complementary approaches, recently developed in my group, that exploit strong-field and ultrafast laser techniques to gain new microscopic insight into the remarkable quantum...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Over the past 30 years, advancements in laser and cooling technology have led to unprecedented control over atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) systems at the level of single quanta. These innovations have transformed AMO systems into powerful and versatile tools for a wide range of applications, particularly in the field of quantum simulation. In this talk, I will focus on the simulation of...
