Purdue researchers have made a breakthrough demonstration of controlling energy transfer mediated by vacuum fluctuations. They have proposed and demonstrated a non-reciprocal, diode-like Casimir device. Their results were published in Nature Nanotechnology. A striking prediction of quantum mechanics...

Prof Joseph talked about Hyperbolic lattices which are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tiling of two-dimensional hyperbolic space, a non-Euclidean space of negative curvature. Hyperbolic tilings were studied by the geometer H.S.M. Coxeter and...

Dr. Robert-Jan Slager covered a selection of our recent work on topological characterizations in a rather colloquial style. In particular, he reviewed how constraints on symmetry eigenvalues can directly be linked to topological invariants, reproducing involved K-theory evaluations from a simple...

Published in PR Applied, our recent work develops the theoretical and computational framework to analyze the spin angular momentum of thermal radiation from bodies with nonuniform temperature profiles. By considering a sample problem of a long silica wire held under a temperature gradient within its...

Our work on “picophotonics” has been featured in several leading scientific news outlets including optics.org and phys.org. Researchers at Purdue University have discovered new waves with picometer-scale spatial variations of electromagnetic fields that can propagate in semiconductors like silicon...

Our recent work on 'Limits to Quantum Gate Fidelity from Near-Field Thermal and Vacuum Fluctuations' has been published in Physical Review Applied. We develop a framework to analyze and engineer near-field thermal and vacuum fluctuations in the quantum computing hardware for achieving high-fidelity...
