Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

Detection of Zak phases and topological invariants in a chiral quantum walk of twisted photons (Dr. A. Dauphin)

Date: Jun 20, 2017
Time: 09:15 AM - 09:45 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Alexandre Dauphin
ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Castelldefels, Spain
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ, Quantum Many-Body Systems Division

Initially discovered in condensed matter, topological phases have so far been simulated in a variety of synthetic systems (ultracold atoms in optical lattices, photonic bandgap materials, mechanical systems, ...). [more]
