Symposia Day (DAMOPC - DPAMPC) - Current Trends/Hot Topics / Tendances actuelles/sujets d'actualité

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

We have recently completed a comprehensive revision of the classic optics textbook, Pedrottis' Introduction to Optics, intended for upper-year undergraduate and incipient graduate students in physics and engineering. There were many facets to this project, which involved strong collaboration among us, supported by a team at Cambridge University Press & Assessment. The goal of the project was...

One of the most enduring mysteries in contemporary physics is the disparity in matter and antimatter within the observable universe. The Standard Model of particle physics posits that the Big Bang generated an equal quantity of matter and antimatter. However, cosmological observations reveal that the antimatter-to-matter ratio is approximately 10-8. Any discrepancies in the properties of...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the most successful models of the universe, yet it is known to be incomplete. Substantial efforts on the theoretical front introduce new physics through extensions of the Standard Model. Advances in quantum control of molecules have resulted in some of the most stringent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model [1,2]. Extensive molecular...
