Abstract: Attosecond chronoscopy has revealed small but measurable delays in photoionization, characterized by the ejection of an electron on absorption of a single photon. Ionization-delay measurements in atomic targets provide a wealth of information about the timing of the photoelectric effect, resonances, electron correlations and transport. However, extending this approach to molecules presents challenges, such as identifying the correct ionization channels and the effect of the anisotropic molecular landscape on the measured delays.

Abstract: The interaction between a peregrine falcon and a dove is visibly non-reciprocal. What happens to the well established framework of phase transitions in non-reciprocal systems far from equilibrium?

Abstract: Enceladus has become the iconic example of an active icy moon where the subsurface ocean cryo-volcanically communicates with the surface and in fact the surrounding space. In the first part of the talk, the main findings from the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) and other instruments about Enceladus after the end of the Cassini mission are presented.

Pizza provided at 11:00am. Lecture begins at 11:30am.

Pick up your FREE tickets from 10AM-2PM through April 13 at the Engineering Center. This is a capacity controlled event so a ticket is required to attend.

The CUbit-JILA Women in Quantum Panel will be an in-person event and filmed to be posted on the JILA YouTube channel after the event. With speakers like JILA Fellow Ana Maria Rey and representatives from ColdQuanta, the panel will discuss careers for women in quantum, as well as what it is like to be a female in this industry. Cookies will be provided at the event, followed by a happy hour at the Sink.

Abstract: Plasma physics and quantum physics may seem to have nothing to do with each other. However, in this talk I will show that they are in fact closely connected. I will examine three separately topics and show how insight from one field can help with the other. (1) The first topic is laser-plasma interactions (LPI). Conventionally, LPI is studied by solving classical equations.

Please note special time.

This seminar is postponed to an as yet undetermined date.

Abstract: Turbulence has long been considered as a candidate process for accelerating particles to relativistic energies in the collisionless plasmas associated with space and astrophysical systems.

This seminar is ONLINE only.

Abstract: In July of 2015 the New Horizons spacecraft flew through the Pluto system, initiating detailed exploration of the Kuiper belt. Pluto turned out to be a world of remarkable geologic diversity, and its surfaces display a range of ages, suggesting geologic activity of various forms has persisted for much of Pluto’s history. Pluto has some familiar features (e.g., tectonics, cratering) but also features that are unique (e.g., a giant convecting nitrogen ice sheet, and large cryovolcanic constructs).

Abstract: Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) is one of the most powerful framework to observe and leverage quantum phenomena. While it has been thoroughly studied for simple quantum systems such as two-level systems or harmonic oscillators, it has only recently become available for complex, correlated quantum many-body systems. In the last five years, we have developed systems combining cavity QED with ultra-cold Fermi gases [1].
