Tobias Kippenberg wins the National Latsis Prize | Тобиасу Киппенбергу присуждена Национальная премия Лациса

On 2nd of December, 2014, Tobias Kippenberg has been awarded the National Latsis Prize for 2014 for his work on cavity quantum optomechanics. Our congratulations! 2 декабря 2014 года Тобиасу Киппенбергу была присуждена Национальная премия Лациса, одна из наиболее престижных научных премий в Швейцарии, за вклад в исследование оптомеханических эффектов в квантовых микрорезонаторах. Наши поздравления!

Just two weeks earlier professor Tobias J. Kippenberg gave a lecture in MSU Lomonosov building "The Physics of High Q optical micro resonators: from optomechanics to frequency combs". Video recording and presentation of the talk are available here. Всего за две недели до этого Тобиас Киппенберг прочел в Ломоносовском корпусе МГУ лекцию "Физика высокодобротных микрорезонаторов: от оптомеханики до частотных гребенок". Видеозапись и презентация с этой лекции доступны здесь.

Daniele Sanvitto: Quantum fluids of light and matter, the endless quest

On 24th of February at 16:00 Prof. Daniele Sanvitto, a head of group at the Laboratory for Advanced Photonics, will hold a seminar in the Russian Quantum Center:

«Polaritons are among the most striking quasi-particles available in the field-theory toolkit: composed of both light and matter, they have entanglement built in on their intrinsic substance. At the same time, they have recently demonstrated a phase transition to a Bose-Einstein condensate state in semiconductors. The physics of these objects has been investigated with several impressive achievements, from superfluidity, lasing at room temperature, solitons, optical logic, black holes, and many others, yet the polariton era has not started until one has truly unravelled the polariton quantum nut. In this talk, we will discuss aspects related to this problem...(details and registration)

Maria Chekhova: Giant twin-beam generation along the pump energy propagation

On 23th of December at 17:00 Maria Chekhova, a head of Quantum Radiation group and Single-Photon Technology unit at Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany, and simultaneously a part-time lecturer at Moscow State University, will hold a seminar in the Russian Quantum Center:

«Walk-off effects, originating from the difference between the group and phase velocities, limit the efficiency of nonlinear optical interactions. While transverse walk-off can be eliminated by proper medium engineering, longitudinal walk-off is harder to avoid. In particular, ultrafast twin-beam generation via pulsed parametric down-conversion and four-wave mixing is only possible in short crystals or fibres or in double-path schemes. In our recent experiments, we have shown that in high-gain parametric down-conversion, one can overcome the destructive role of both effects and even turn them into useful tools for shaping the emission...(details and registration)

Leonid Butov: Indirect excitons

«An indirect exciton is a bound pair of an electron and a hole confined in spatially separated layers. Due to their long lifetimes, indirect excitons can cool down below the temperature of quantum degeneracy. This gives an opportunity to study cold exciton gases. We will present spontaneous coherence and condensation, spatial ordering, and spin currents in a cold excitons gas...(details and registration)

Yury Bunkov: The magnon BEC in antiferromagnets

«The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) corresponds to the formation of a collective quantum state in which macroscopic number of particles is governed by a single wave function. The BEC of excited non-equilibrium magnons manifests itself by coherent precession of magnetization even in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The magnon BEC is very similar to an atomic BEC. The different type of potential trap was used for observation the condensation of magnons...(details and registration)
