Ole Rømer Colloquium Wednesday 6th September at 15.15 in Fys. Aud. Speaker: Thomas Pohl, IFA Title: Atomic giants in a new light: Quantum many-body physics with Rydberg atoms and photons Abstract: Since their discovery more than a century ago, excited Rydberg atoms have played a central role in the development of quantum theory and atomic physics. Lately, the advent of cold gases has ushered in a renaissance of Rydberg atom physics, permitting to create, probe, manipulate and utilise extreme atomic states with unprecedented precision. In particular, the combination of ultra-low temperatures, high densities and strong atomic interactions leads to rich physical behaviour with promising applications in optical and information science. In this talk, I will outline different ideas to turn laser-driven Rydberg gases into a versatile platform for quantum simulations of synthetic many-body systems and for engineering quantum states of light. In particular, we will see how the intricate interplay of light-matter and atom-atom interactions gives rise to unrivalled optical nonlinearities that open the door to manipulating light at the ultimate level of single quanta. I will present the current progress towards understanding photon propagation in this new regime of quantum optics, and describe new functionalities that follow from these ideas as well as recent related experiments. Coffee and cake will be available at 15:05

Vi kører samlet med bus fra parkeringspladsen ved Fysik og Kemi kl. 12.15, og er tilbage ca. kl. 22. Undervejs vil der være lidt til ganen, samt sandwiches og snacks. Dagen afsluttes med aftensmad på et lokalt spisested. Tilmelding kan ske i Informationen ved direkte betaling på 200 kr. i kontanter (kun aftalte penge). Tilmeldingsfristen er fredag d. 29. september. NB! Der er et begrænset antal pladser, så husk at tilmelde dig og din kollega snarest muligt! Med venlig hilsen Skovturskomitéen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear employees, The annual department picnic takes place Thursday the 12th of October 2017. We will depart by bus from the parking lot between Physics and Chemistry at 12.15 pm, and will be back at around 10 pm. Beverages, sandwiches and snacks will be served during the trip. The day will end at a local inn, where dinner will be served. The registration deadline is Friday the 29th of September 2017 at the Information Desk with the payment of 200 dkk in cash. NB! The number of participants is limited, so remember to register yourself and your colleague as soon as possible! Kind Regards, The Picnic Commitee.
