Topological Properties of SU(n) Fermions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-07-30)Ultra-cold fermions loaded in optical lattices have become ideal systems to study related electronic phase diagrams and transport properties, because they provide a clean and well controlled playground to change various ... -
Thulium atoms embedded in noble gas crystals for sensing applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-07-30)Narrow linewidth atomic transitions provide opportunities for the development of various quantum technologies. Thulium has an unfulfilled 4$f$ orbital with the electronic configuration similar to Yb$^{3+}$ which is used ... -
Search for astrophysical neutrino sources using IceCube low-energy neutrinos
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-07-29)Astrophysical neutrinos can escape from radiation-opaque regions and act as messengers, allowing us to explore some of the most extreme environments in the universe. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to observe ... -
Studying Millisecond Pulsars and Pulsar Tails in the Very-High-Energy Gamma-ray Regime with VERITAS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-07-26)Years have passed since the first detection of pulsed very-high-energy (VHE; E \textgreater 100 GeV) gamma-rays from the Crab pulsar with VERITAS, yet much is still unresolved in relation to the nature of pulsar emission ... -
SHORTCUT TO TARGET STATES IN A SPIN-1 BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-23)In this work, we generate spin squeezed ground states in an atomic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate tuned near the quantum critical point between the polar and ferromagnetic quantum phases of the interacting spin ensemble. ... -
Evidence for the dynamical relevance of relative periodic orbits in turbulence
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-08-01)Despite a long and rich history of scientific investigation, fluid turbulence remains one of the most challenging problems in science and engineering. One of the key outstanding questions concerns the role of coherent ... -
Clusters, Waves, and Force Chains in Fire-Ant Collectives: Emergent Behavior in Out-of-Equilibrium Particulate Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-07-29)Unlike other out-of-equilibrium systems, active matter is held far from equilibrium by energy input at the single particle level. The field includes a wide range of systems, but the most familiar examples, including flocks ... -
Quantum Magnetism in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Rare-Earth Oxides: Neutron Scattering and Instrumentation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-07-20)Quantum magnetism is a rich area of hard condensed matter physics where various energy scales and exchange parameters, coupled with lattice symmetries, lead to ground states of varying degrees of complexity. Through ... -
Optimization and control of virus-host systems
