Physics & Astronomy Condensed Matter - Trion Liquid and its Photoemission Signatures - Anna Keselman - Technion - LSSB W4202

"Trion Liquid and its Photoemission Signatures" Ana Keselman, Technion, Israel, Hosted by Oleg Starykh Zoom information, if attending remotely: https://utah.zoom.us/j/82859370639 Meeting ID: 828 5937 0639 | Passcode: 532587, "Trion Liquid and its Photoemission Signatures" Abstract: Trions - three-body bound states composed of an exciton and an additional charge - are typically fragile and require external excitation to form. In this talk, I will discuss how trions can instead emerge spontaneously at equilibrium.  Focusing on narrow-gap semiconductors with strong electron-hole interactions, I will show that a trion liquid - a Fermi liquid of trions - arises naturally near the phase boundary between a band insulator and an excitonic insulator upon doping. Using unbiased matrix-product-state (MPS) calculations for a microscopic one-dimensional model, we characterize this state and identify its distinctive signatures in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In particular, we show that a partially… Campus Locations: Skaggs, L. S. Applied Science Building (LSSB). Room Name/Number: LSSB W4202. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Physics & Astronomy High Energy/Astrophysics (HEAP) - Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves - Kevin Zhou - UC Berkeley/LBNL - LSSB W0120

"Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves" Kevin Zhou, UC Berkeley/LBNL, Hosted by Gustavo Marques-Tavares Zoom information, if attending remotely: https://utah.zoom.us/j/82859370639 Meeting ID: 828 5937 0639 | Passcode: 532587, "Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves" Abstract: Searches for axion dark matter and gravitational waves are rapidly expanding, with new experiments deploying quantum sensing techniques to reach unprecedented precision. But does one need to account for the quantum nature of the axion or GW itself? I will exhibit two severe obstructions. First, realistic detectors cannot resolve the fundamental modes of a field; instead they couple to coarse-grained ``effective'' modes, which often washes out nonclassical effects. Second, all nonclassical effects are suppressed by extra powers of the weak coupling, making them much harder to detect than the waves themselves. This suppression applies to all observables, including quadrature and number statistics, entanglement,… Campus Locations: Skaggs, L. S. Applied Science Building (LSSB). Room Name/Number: LSSB W0120.

Frontiers of Science Lecture featuring Martin Chalfie

Martin Chalfie, University Professor and former chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Full bio: https://chalfielab.biology.columbia.edu/people/martin-chalfie In 1939, the first director of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Abraham Flexner, wrote an article in Harper's Magazine titled "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." Flexner questioned whether our idea of usefulness had become too narrow for the wide-ranging, unpredictable nature of human curiosity, arguing that real discovery happens when scientists are free to explore without needing to justify usefulness in advance. Several Nobel Prizes have gone to discoveries that emerged sideways from what researchers originally set out to study. Chalfie will argue that "useless knowledge" is as necessary today as ever for improving human health and well-being, and will offer thoughts on how we can create space for the unexpected discoveries that drive future scientific breakthroughs.
