Prof. Rafael M. Fernandes, University of Minnesota Catch up on YouTube Quantum materials encompass a wide family of systems that display many fascinating phenomena, from high-temperature superconductivity to topological order. They stand out not only as promising candidates for new technological applications, but also as windows into the fundamental microscopic properties of interacting electrons, whose Read More

Prof. Susanne Stemmer, Materials Research Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara Over the past decade, the unique properties of topological materials have generated huge excitement in the condensed matter physics community.  Recently, high-quality thin films of cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2), a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal in its bulk version, have emerged as a promising platform for the Read More

Prof Ehud Altman, Professor of Physics, Berkleley University of California Catch-up: watch online Phase transitions emerging in monitored (observed) quantum systems force intriguing phase transitions that can affect the behaviour of the quantum circuits that make up quantum computers. The unique interplay of unitary gates, entanglement, measurement and noise in systems driven out of equilibrium Read More

Professor David Snoke, Distinguished Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh Missed the talk? Catch up on youtube It is possible to engineer a system in which photons are “dressed” to have an effective mass and repulsive interactions. In this case, they obey the same equations as bosonic atoms and can undergo Bose-Einstein Read More

Professor Xiaoqin (Elaine) Li, Professor of Physics, University of Texas-Austin Zoom registration Meeting ID: 883 1736 6970  Passcode: 12345 When two atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) layers are vertically stacked together, the atomic alignment between the layers exhibits periodical variations, leading to a new type of in-plane superlattices known as the moiré superlattices. The Read More

Catch up on YouTube Stochastic resonance, where noise synchronizes a system’s response to an external drive, is a phenomenon that occurs in a wide variety of noisy systems ranging from Read More

Prof Elena Ostrovskaya Australian National University the Research School of Physics, the Australian National University Exciton polaritons are hybrid light-matter bosons formed by excitons in semiconductors strongly coupled to microcavity photons. Sufficiently strong optical pumping can drive exciton-polaritons to a macroscopically occupied coherent state similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate. The same optical pump that injects Read More
