    Tracking the quantum dynamics following a quench of a range of simple many-body systems (e.g. the two and three site Bose-Hubbard models, particles on a ring), we find certain common structures with characteristic geometric shapes that occur in all the wave functions over time. What are these structures and why do they appear again and again? I will argue that they are quantum versions of the...

    Small arrays of laser-cooled trapped ions are widely used for quantum information research, but they are also a versatile mesoscopic system to investigate physics with a flavor reminiscent of familiar models in condensed matter. For example, in a linear rf Paul trap, laser-cooled trapped ions will organize into a linear array when the transverse confinement of the trap is strong enough;...

  3. 607. Simulating Anderson localization via a quantum walk on a one-dimensional lattice of superconducting qubits.

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    Quantum walk (QW) on a disordered lattice leads to a multitude of interesting phenomena, such as Anderson localization. While QW has been realized in various optical and atomic systems, its implementation with superconducting qubits still remains pending. The major challenge in simulating QW with superconducting qubits emerges from the fact that on-chip superconducting qubits cannot hop...

  4. 649. Cold Atom Metrology: Progress towards a New Absolute Pressure Standard
    Dr James Booth (British Columbia Institute of Technology)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Laser cooling and trapping of atoms has created a revolution in physics and technology. For example, cold atoms are now the standard for time keeping which underpins the GPS network used for global navigation. In this talk, I will describe a research collaboration between BCIT, UBC (Kirk Madison) and NIST (Jim Fedchak - Sensor Science Division) with the goal of creating a cold atom (CA) based...
