The realization of exciton polaritons -- hybrid excitations of semiconductor quantum well excitons and cavity photons -- has been of great technological and scientific significance. [more]

The angulon quasiparticle: from molecules in superfluids to ultrafast magnetism (Prof. M. Lemeshko)

Date: Jul 11, 2018
Time: 11:30 AM - 01:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Mikhail Lemeshko
IST Austria Klosterneuburg (Wien)
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik
Room: Seminar room Theory Division - B 2.46
Host: MPQ, Theory Division

Recently we have predicted a new quasiparticle - the angulon - which is formed when a quantum impurity (such as an electron, atom, or molecule) exchanges its orbital angular momentum with a many-particle environment (such as lattice phonons or a Fermi sea). [more]
