Dynamics of Quantum matter

We explore non-equilibrium many-body dynamics in quantum systems that experience symmetry-breaking, topological, or jamming transitions. These systems encompass superconductors, charge-density wave, and magnetic materials.

Experimental Soft Matter Physics

The research is conducted within the “Light and Matter” research program. The interaction of light with matter is one of the most important fields of physics and optical processes are indispensable in many branches of modern industry.

Experiments in Frustrated Josephson Systems

August 13, 2024 , 15:00 , Physics Seminar Room
Speaker: Charles Marcus (University of Washington, Seattle)

This talk will explore in an experimentally accessible system how complex classical physics with frustration evolves into the quantum realm. We will explore this question in Josephson junction arrays using hybrid 2D semiconductor-superconductor hybrids, which allow gate-voltage control of Josephson coupling. Connections to the superconductor-insulator transition, anomalous metals, and topologically protected qubits will be considered. Note: this talk is about experiments.
