Next colloquium

Thursday, 20 June at 2 pm in Adam Smith Business School / PGT 492

Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop (University of Queensland)

Sculpted light in nano- and microsystems

Sculpted light has emerged as the tool of choice to produce configurable and flexible confining potentials at the nano and micron-scales. Extensive research has been conducted on the use of structured light in fields such as quantum atom optics and optical tweezers. It provides means of production of ever more complex potential landscapes. Several methods have been used for production of these versatile potential landscapes and many applications have emerged. I will describe in my talk some of these application including studies of quantum turbulence on one hand and ballistic Brownian motion on the other.
