报告介绍 Abstract:　　Strongly correlated materials possess many remarkable properties, such as high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates and colossal magnetoresistance in doped manganites, arising from the complex interplay between spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom. Electron liquid crystal (ELC) phases provide unique descriptions to characterize the electronic structures and elucidate th...

报告介绍 Abstract: 　　We develop an efficient scheme that allows for arbitrary operations on a cavity mode using a strongly dispersive qubit-cavity interaction and time-dependent drives. The scheme can readily be implemented using circuit QED systems. Moreover, the scheme can be extended for quantum error correction to protect information encoded in photonic cat states.

报告介绍 Abstract:　　Parity-time (PT) symmetry is a fundamental notion in quantum field theories and opens a new paradigm of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians ranging from quantum mechanics, electronics, to optics and photonics. By carefully exploiting the interplay between optical gain and loss in the complex dielectric permittivity plane, optics has become an ideal platform to study the fundamentals of PT symmet...

In this talk, I will discuss recent experimental advances on the use of radiation pressure force to control mechanical motion in macroscopic systems, with a focus on potential applications in qu...

报告介绍 Abstract： 　　Spin-orbit coupling is ubiquitous in quantum dot quantum computing architectures, and makes spin qubits susceptible to charge noise. We derive a Hamiltonian describing the effect of spin-orbit and noise on a single-spin qubit in a quantum dot. Relaxation is due to noise coupling different orbital levels and is dominated by screened whole charge defects near the dot. Dephasing stems fr...

报告介绍 Abstract　　Non-specific protein adsorption from complex biological media, especially from blood plasma, is an urgent challenge for the application of nanoparticles as delivery systems, diagnostics and other biomedical applications. The surface modification of nanoparticles by physically anchoring hydrophilic biocompatible polymers (A), by coating the NPs core with polymer brush layers with well-con...

Consequently, a biopsy is routinely needed for ultimate diagnosis of a malignancy. Thus, we need noninvasive imaging technologies that can be used in vivo and can determine in real time the chemical content of deep-tissue. Vibrational spectroscopy h...

Silicon offers a particularly interesting platform for single dopants because when isotopically purified, silicon acts as a “semiconductor vacuum” for spin, giving it extra...

Many studies have been carried out to identify the origin of the unexpected ferromagnetism, and to explore potential applications of such materials. Following successful prediction of room temperature ferromagnetism in III-V and II-VI semiconductors doped with 2p light elements, we recently extended the same stra...

In this job we study the interaction energy in a mixture of Bose and Fermi superfluids realized in recent cold atom experiment. On the Bose-Einstein-condensate (BEC) side of a Feshbach resonance between fermionic atoms, this interaction energy can be directly related to the scattering length b...

报告介绍 Abstract:　　It is well-known that water configuration and behaviors are highly affected by the surface. On the other hand, water is generally considered to have negligible effects on the solid surface. But it might not be the case. Here, we theoretically present two examples to show water could significantly affect the surface structure and properties. The water molecule adsorption could induce the...
