Quantum Causality
Dipole-dipole interactions in nanophotonics
Purdue researchers control the quantum vacuum
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...
Research
The Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network is working on decoding the interplay of electrodynamic fields deep inside matter at the atomic level. We are addressing the questions that will lead to the discovery of novel topological phases of matter, atomistic anomalous waves, vacuum, and thermal...
Topological optical N-insulators
Topological Pico-Electrodynamics One of the key achievements of the last decade has been the realization that topology may be used to categorize and find new phases of matter (Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016). The inherent spin-orbit interaction in some materials, known as topological insulators...
Quantum Field Theory for Angular Momentum of Light
Quantum sensing of photonic spin density using a single spin qubit Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged as promising room temperature quantum sensors for probing condensed matter phenomena ranging from spin liquids, 2D magnetic materials, and magnons to hydrodynamic flow of current...
Hyperbolic Band Theory by Prof. Joseph Maciejko
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...
A Contemporary View On Topological Band Theory & New Euler Class Phenomena by Dr. Robert Slager
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...
