In this work, we develop theoretical tools to explore
quantum correlations within the AdS/CFT framework. We examine the
holographic realization of optimized correlation measures in two-dimensional
thermal states corresponding to spacetimes with black hole horizons, enhancing
our understanding of how geometry encodes entanglement in AdS/CFT. We
further introduce cutoff-independent regularization techniques to compute these
entropies - addressing divergences due to infinite volume near the AdS

In this talk, I will describe my work on

Our group studies chemical reactions of ultracold Rb atoms in a state-to-state
resolved fashion, where we prepare reactants in well defined quantum states and
measure the quantum states of the molecular products. In particular, we focus on
three-body recombination where three atoms collide, forming a diatomic molecule.
The  third   atom carries  away  part  of  the  binding   energy.   We are  currently
investigating methods to gain control over this chemical reaction. By making use of

Abstract: In this talk, I’ll discuss a new framework to simulate the open dynamics of many-boson quantum systems. We use a superposition of squeezed-displaced states as a non-Gaussian state (NGS) ansatz. It is not restricted to a low excitation subspace, and can describe a variety of interesting quantum states (eg. squeezed cat states).

Each year, the Richard Nelson Thomas Award is given to an outstanding APS graduate student at JILA. This year’s recipient is Tatsuya Akiba (of Ann-Marie Madigan’s group).

Please join us in congratulating Tatsuya by attending this celebration! All JILAns are welcome!

There will be refreshments.

Abstract: Models of rotating black holes generally possess not only an event horizon, which marks the point of no return, but also an inner horizon, beyond which lies an observable singularity and potentially a wormhole to a new universe. However, if any matter or radiation falls into the black hole, these sources of accretion will trigger an instability that may destroy the inner horizon and anything beyond.

Abstract: Science faces an accessibility challenge. Although information/knowledge is fast becoming available to everyone around the world, the experience of science is significantly limited. One approach to solving this challenge is to democratize access to scientific tools. We believe this can be achieved via “Frugal science”; a philosophy that inspires design, development and deployment of ultra-affordable yet powerful scientific tools for the masses.

Neutral atoms have emerged in recent years as a leading qubit candidate for quantum computing. Atom interferometers, meanwhile, provide precise measurements of very weak gravitational forces. Both of these applications use optical fields to write-in / read-out information, as well as to trap and manipulate the atoms. Optical resonators have been used to enhance such atom-photon interactions, constituting the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).
