Stochastic resonance is shown deep in the quantum regime\, where fluctu ations are driven by tunneling of the magnetization.

This a llows construction of exact gauge invariant Hamiltonians using just two-bo dy interactions.\nModels constructed in this way include the Z2 toric code and the non-Abelian quaternion group quantum double\, as well as generali zations.\nNew models that are not well understood also emerge.\nAn advanta ge of the exact symmetry is that the topological energy gaps need not be l imited to a perturbative regime\, but could potentially persist for a wide r range of parameters.\nPossible realizations are discussed using arrays o f superconducting wires and Josephson junctions. \n\nOverall\, this appear s to be a promising new approach for constructing experimentally realizabl e models of topological spin liquids\, with potential applications for qua ntum computing. The use of the exact combinatorial gauge symmetry differen tiates it from previous perturbative approaches.

The knowledge acquired in these fields can guide progress in the develo pment of entanglement-driven methods for classical and quantum simulations of nuclei\, and in the identification of experiments probing entanglement in nuclear systems. Vice versa\, specificities of many-body NP techniques can potentially be useful for other fields\, and QIS in general. The work shop will explore these different aspects.\n\nIQuS workshops are designed to bring together a cross-disciplinary group of researchers\, and provide an immersive environment to nurture discussion\, collective brainstorming and initiate possible collaborations.  Following this spirit\, we aim for a light schedule in term of talks and prioritize group discussions\, in or der to ensure exchanges of ideas and methods\, and foster progress around the topic of entanglement in different fields of quantum many-body physics \n\nFormat and Scope:\nThe workshop has a lightly-planned schedule\, with two talk sessions per day and plenty of time for interaction and collabora tion between participants. In addition\, there will be focussed “rump sess ions” throughout both weeks. Reflecting the diverse (scientific) backgroun d of participants and the interdisciplinary scope\, these will allow us to interconnect\,  identify common goals and learn from each other strategie s to reach them. Feel free to send us your expectations and suggestions be forehand\, crobin@physik.uni-bielefeld.de.

Various tomogra phic methods face unique limitations in detecting topologically ordered tw o-dimensional states. In this talk\, I investigate a heuristic tomographic method that combines variational optimization on tensor networks with ran domized measurement techniques. I will discuss this approach's capability of learning the ground state of the surface code Hamiltonian as well as an experimentally realizable quantum spin liquid state. I will show numerica l results using MPS ansätze and systematically investigate the sample comp lexity required to achieve high fidelities for systems of sizes up to 48 q ubits. In addition\, we have theoretical insights into the scaling of our learning algorithm by analyzing the statistical properties of maximum like lihood estimation. Notably\, our method is sample-efficient and experiment ally friendly\, only requiring snapshots of the quantum state measured ran domly in the X or Z bases. I will provide intuitions for our proof that ra ndom-XZ measurements are tomographically complete for such states.

Our experiments with strontium ultralong-range Rydbe rg molecules (ULRRM) have demonstrated that the photo-association rate of ULRRMs can be used to probe non-local spatial correlations in a quantum ga s\, such as bunching and antibunching of bosonic and fermionic isotopes of strontium gases [1]. More recently\, we also resolved rotational states o f ULRRMs and used them to observe the s-wave suppression of the 86Sr-86Sr pair (with scattering length as=823a0). [2]\nI will also share in this tal k our efforts and results of constructing synthetic dimensions with Rydber g atomic states.

Edge-to-edge long-range tunneling and bulk-population oscillati ons\, characteristic behaviors of the topological phase\, were observed in the measured population evolution [3].

In a square lattice\, nematicity maps onto an Ising model\, as the nematic director can only choose between the x or y directions. In triangular or hexagonal lattices\, nematicity maps onto a three-state Potts model. Unlike the well-known Ising nematicity\, the rea lization and identification of three-state Potts nematicity remain an outs tanding challenge. In this talk\, I will present elastoresistivity measure ments of two candidates for three-state Potts nematicity: kagome metals Cs V3Sb5 and van der Waals layered material 1T-TiSe2. Both materials exhibit a charge density wave (CDW) transition. Previous studies suggested that Cs V3Sb5 hosts a CDW-driven Potts nematicity\, whereas 1T-TiSe2 hosts a chira l CDW. Contrary to these claims\, our results show no nematicity in CsV3Sb 5 but reveal a diverging nematic response in 1T-TiSe2. I will discuss the implications of Potts nematicity in 1T-TiSe2 and its relation to supercond uctivity.\nReference:\nZhaoyu Liu\, Yue Shi\, Qianni Jiang\, Elliott W Ros enberg\, Jonathan M DeStefano\, Jinjin Liu\, Chaowei Hu\, Yuzhou Zhao\, Zh iwei Wang\, Yugui Yao\, David Graf\, Pengcheng Dai\, Jihui Yang\, Xiaodong Xu\, Jiun-Haw Chu\, “Absence of nematic instability in the kagome metal C sV3Sb5”\, Physical Review X 14 (3)\, 031015\nVideo Link (requires UW NetID ) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240930T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241001T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20241007T194514Z LOCATION:PAA A-102 SUMMARY:: Three state Potts nematicity and where to find them TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2024-09-30/three-state-potts-nematic ity-and-where-find-them END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4b96ead8-0750-4f19-9d9f-c38c4d36c864 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240930T210717Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241001T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241002T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20240930T210717Z LOCATION:PAT C-421 SUMMARY:: A fresh perspective on superspace and twisted field theories TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2024-10-01/fresh-perspective-supersp ace-and-twisted-field-theories END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:bd13725c-3f00-4261-b732-6d804cb32e03 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars\, Talks CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240926T160632Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Susan Clark\, Sandia National Lab\n\nSandia National L aboratories is home to the Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT)\, a low-level quantum computing testbed based on a linear chain o f trapped 171Yb+ ions.

This formulation is being pur sued as a candidate for quantum simulation and tensor network studies. Ori ginally\, the LSH approach was developed for the SU(2) gauge group in any number of spatial dimensions\, with coupling to staggered quarks [PRD 101\ , 114502 (2020)].

And yet\, a fter over a decade of intense scrutiny\, the experiments at the Large Hadr on Collider (LHC) have produced no definitive evidence of physics beyond t he SM. The vast majority of searches for beyond SM physics have targeted h eavy\, strongly interacting particles that decay almost instantaneously ba ck to SM particles. However\, many models propose the existence of new lon g-lived particles (LLPs) that can travel significant distances before deca ying\, yielding unconventional detector signatures that may be overlooked by common search techniques. Searches for LLPs decaying in the ATLAS inner detector (ID) are crucial for providing experimental sensitivity to a bro ad range of LLP lifetimes\, but also must overcome challenges posed by the reconstruction of displaced charged particle trajectories (tracks). Recen tly\, breakthroughs in ATLAS track reconstruction have revolutionized the inner tracking detector's ability to identify LLP decays and invigorated t he ATLAS LLP search program. In this seminar\, I will highlight the recent advancements in displaced track reconstruction and present the latest sea rch results for LLP decays in the ATLAS ID. Additionally\, I will discuss prospects for expanding the LLP search program at the High Luminosity LHC through further innovation in track reconstruction\, and explain why there is reason to be optimistic about the future of particle physics at the LH C.

How ever\, atomic-scale material defects\, known as two-level systems (TLS)\, naturally occur at the surfaces and interfaces of all materials that const itute superconducting qubits. These TLS defects limit the performance of s uperconducting qubits\, affecting both the coherence of individual physica l qubits\, and the optimization landscape of large-scale quantum processor s. \nIn this talk\, I will present a new approach that directly modifies t he properties of TLS through nanoscale engineering. This transforms TLS in to a potentially useful quantum resource\, opening new opportunities in th e superconducting qubit platform. I will discuss two primary directions my lab at the UW will pursue: 1. Quantum sensing\, with a focus on noise cha racterization in the superconducting qubit platform\; 2. Development of a new type of qubit based on individual TLS defects.

For many materials\, this spectrum\, together with its electronic filling as dictated by stati stical mechanics\, determine the system's equilibrium characteristics such as its electrical and thermal conductivities. Traditionally\, band struct ure has been viewed as a fixed stage upon which the dynamics and responses of a material play out. The advent of new classes of materials and techni ques to probe them with external fields has revealed that the electronic p roperties of materials can be much more malleable than it once seemed. Int riguingly\, when such a material is driven out of equilibrium\, the electr ons within the material itself can produce strong internal fields that can dynamically modify their own underlying band structure. Together we will explore this exciting new world of dynamical quantum matter\, in which fee dback between the motion of electrons and the underlying fabric that gover ns their motion leads to striking new phenomena and non-equilibrium states of matter. Following a gentle introduction to the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials\, I will illustrate how we can use this new par adigm of non-equilibrium dynamics to unlock novel electromagnetic phenomen a that would otherwise be forbidden in any equilibrium system. \nVideo Lin k (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241014T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241015T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20241007T194117Z LOCATION:PAA A-102 SUMMARY:: Feedback is a gift unlocking new properties nbsp of quantum matte r through non equilibrium driving and control TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2024-10-14/feedback-gift-unlocking-n ew-properties-nbsp-quantum-matter-through-non END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:86f15298-cadf-4ecb-9a45-281827e3ff93 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20241029T223637Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Martin Savage\, IQuS / University of Washington\n\nThi s talk is featured as part of INT Program 24-3\, 'Quantum Few- and Many-Bo dy Systems in Universal Regimes'.\nThe speaker will give this talk in-pers on in room PAT C-421.\nFor the full list of speakers\, talk times\, and ge neral program information\, please visit the 24-3 webpage.\nPlease contact intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

We first prove 'Cryptographic Censorship': a theorem showing that w hen the time evolution operator of a holographic CFT is approximately pseu dorandom (or Haar random) on some code subspace\, then there must be an ev ent horizon in the corresponding bulk dual. This result provides a general condition that guarantees (in finite time) event horizon formation\, with minimal assumptions about the global spacetime structure. Our theorem rel ies on an extension of a recent quantum learning no-go theorem and is prov ed using new techniques of pseudorandom measure concentration. To apply th is result to cosmic censorship\, we separate singularities into classical\ , semi-Planckian\, and Planckian types. We illustrate that classical and s emi-Planckian singularities are compatible with approximately pseudorandom CFT time evolution\; thus\, if such singularities are indeed approximatel y pseudorandom\, by Cryptographic Censorship\, they cannot exist in the ab sence of event horizons. This result provides a sufficient condition guara nteeing that seminal holographic results on quantum chaos and thermalizati on\, whose general applicability relies on typicality of horizons\, will n ot be invalidated by the formation of naked singularities in AdS/CFT.

However\, certain fu ndamental aspects remain resistant to efficient learning using known algor ithms. This talk explores several of fundamental properties—including time \, causal structure\, topological order\, and noise—and demonstrates how t hey can be provably hard to learn. These results stem from our recent work on how to construct random unitaries (with Ma\, forthcoming) and generate them in extremely low depth (with Schuster and Haferkamp\, arXiv:2407.077 54).

We unveil a previousl y unreported Lifshitz transition to a Fermi surface topology that supports a 'heavy fermion' pocket and an ultraflat band pinned to the Fermi energy . Analytical and numerical insights shed light on the narrow 'magic angle range' where the “heavy fermion” is stable and make predictions for its ex perimental observation.  We believe that the bands presented here are accu rate  at high temperature and provide a good starting point to understand the myriad of complex behavior observed in this system. [1] “Analytical Mo del for Atomic Relaxation in Twisted Moiré Materials” by MMA Ezzi\, GN Pal lewela\, C De Beule\, EJ Mele\, and S Adam\, arXiv:2401.00498 (2024)[2]  “ A self-consistent Hartree theory for lattice-relaxed magic-angle twisted b ilayer graphene” by MMA Ezzi\, L Peng\, Z Liu\, JHZ Chao\, GN Pallewela\, D Foo\, and S Adam arXiv:2404.17638 (2024) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241017T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241017T133000 LAST-MODIFIED:20241010T070747Z LOCATION:B421 SUMMARY:: A narrow magic window for ultraflat bands and emergent heavy ferm ions near the magic angle in twisted bilayer graphene TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2024-10-17/narrow-magic-window-ultra flat-bands-and-emergent-heavy-fermions-near-magic-angle END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:fc3f0868-bec8-4a6c-9b1e-aeb0dbc0787f DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20241017T185108Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kyle Wendt\, LLNL\n\nThis talk is featured as part of INT Program 24-3\, 'Quantum Few- and Many-Body Systems in Universal Regime s'.\nThe speaker will give this talk in-person in room PAT C-421.\nFor the full list of speakers\, talk times\, and general program information\, pl ease visit the 24-3 webpage.\nThis is a five-week in-person program with a “hybrid” embedded workshop during week three (10/21-10/25).\nPlease conta ct intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

It has been shown that hydrodynamic calculations with a small sh ear viscosity give results that agree well with experimental data. Further more\, a holographic calculation showed that the ratio of shear viscosity and entropy density is as small as 1/(4 pi) for strongly coupled N=4 super symmetric Yang-Mills theory\, which is consistent with the value extracted from experimental data via hydrodynamic simulations. On the other hand\, calculating shear viscosity in QCD is very challenging: Perturbative calcu lations are not applicable in the temperature range of interest and Euclid ean lattice QCD calculations have uncontrolled systematic uncertainties ca used by the ill-defined spectral reconstruction problem. In this talk\, I will discuss the Hamiltonian lattice approach that enables real-time calcu lations. I will take the 2+1D SU(2) pure gauge theory as an example and sh ow some preliminary results obtained on a small lattice. The calculations take into account the running coupling and find the ratio of shear viscosi ty and entropy density is consistent with 1/(4 pi). Finally\, I will discu ss a quantum algorithm to calculate the shear viscosity\, which may help u s to perform calculations on larger lattices and achieve the physical limi t.

As a result\, such black holes are driven towards extremality by the emission of neutral Hawking radiation. Eventually\, an isolated black hole gets close enough to extremality that the gravitational backreaction of a single Hawking photon becomes important\, and the quantum field theory in curved spacetime approximation breaks down. To proceed further\, we need to use a quantum theory of gravity. We make use of recent progress in our understanding of the quantum gravitational thermodynamics of near-extremal black holes to compute the corrected spectrum for both neutral and charge d Hawking radiation\, including the effects of backreaction\, as well as g rey-body factors and metric fluctuations. At low temperatures\, large fluc tuations in a set of quantum gravitational (almost) zero modes lead to dra stic modifications to neutral particle emission that -- in contrast to the semi-classical prediction -- ensure the black hole remains subextremal. R elatedly\, angular momentum constraints mean that\, close enough to extrem ality\, individual photons and gravitons can no longer be emitted\; instea d\, the dominant radiation channel consists of entangled pairs of photons in angular-momentum singlet states. \GP{Next sentence is new. Feel free to complain.} We also compute the effects of backreaction and metric fluctua tions on the emission of charged particles\; somewhat surprisingly we find that the semiclassical Schwinger emission rate is essentially unchanged. The entropic suppression of the charged particle emission is reduced at lo w temperatures by a polynomial factor relative to the semiclassical answer \, but this effect is cancelled by the thermodynamic irreversibility of th e charged particle ejection process. Our results allow us to present\, for the first time\, the full history of the evaporation of a charged black h ole. In contrast\, semi-classical calculations give completely wrong predi ctions for almost the entire history of the evaporation\, even for the cru dest observables such as the temperature seen by a thermometer.

This has been realized in holography via the Ryu-Taka yanagi formula\, which associates a bulk surface to a measure of boundary quantum entanglement. As an incarnation of holographic entanglement entrop y\, the bulk extremal surface leads to the paradigm of entanglement wedge reconstruction. We discuss two applications of this paradigm that connect with quantum chaos and black holes. First\, by considering the entanglemen t wedge associated with a boundary subregion\, one can define a notion of operator size in the boundary and determine the butterfly velocity that ch aracterizes the growth of local perturbations from certain extremal surfac es. However\, the study of quantum chaos presents a novel bound to hologra phic theories through a distinct Lorentzian calculation of the butterfly v elocity\, determined from a localized shockwave on the horizon of a dual b lack hole. We demonstrate a general agreement between the two pictures in higher-curvature gravity\, revealing deep connections between quantum chao s and holography. Second\, the entanglement wedge of Hawking radiation lea ds to quantum extremal islands\, offering a resolution to the black hole i nformation loss problem. We explore the method within a less understood no n-minimal dilaton gravity model that traces back to an old puzzle about Ha wking radiation that leads to black hole 'anti-evaporation.' By identifyin g the choice of state with Weyl-invariant terms of the one-loop effective action\, we construct quantum stress tensors in both eternal and evaporati ng black holes that resolve the puzzle.

Recently\, a rudimentary quantum network hosting mu ltiple nodes has beendemonstrated [2]. However\, challenges in scaling up this network motivate the furtherdevelopment of different qubit platforms\ , such as trapped ions and atoms\, and solid-state emitters.Qubits based o n single rare-earth ions (REIs) are promising candidates\; they exhibitgoo d qubit and optical properties due to their internal atomic structure. Aux iliary qubitsare offered in the form of nuclear spins present in the host material. In the Faraon lab\,we have recently established distributed enta nglement of two and subsequently threequbits\, across two nodes [3].In thi s seminar\, I will discuss ongoing projects: extending the auxiliary qubit control andunderstanding the noise processes limiting the REI qubit coher ence. Additionally\, I willoutline the future research directions for my l ab in Delft: exploring different hostmaterials\, developing robust and sca lable nanofabrication methods for more elaborateREI-based devices\, and in vestigating two-REI-qubit interactions.\nBiography\nDr. Sophie Hermans is an incoming Assistant Professor/Group leader at the research instituteQuTe ch\, at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Starting in May 2025\, herresearch team will focus on rare-earth ions doped in host m aterials for quantum networkingapplications.Currently\, Hermans is a postd octoral scholar in the group of Prof. Faraon at the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology (Caltech). She works on utilizing single ytterbium ions doped in hostcrystals for quantum networks and quantum sensing purposes.Before m oving to the United States\, Hermans received her PhD at the Delft Univers ity ofTechnology in the Netherlands. In the team of Prof. Hanson\, she dev eloped the world’s firstmulti-node quantum network\, based on nitrogen-vac ancy centers in diamond. Additionally\, sheworked on quantum frequency con version of single photons from the visible to the telecomregime.Hermans wa s elected one of the Faces of Science by the Dutch Royal Academy of Scienc e andserves as an ambassador of science through outreach and science commu nication. Uponjoining Caltech\, she was awarded the AWS Quantum Fellowship . In 2024\, Hermans receivedthe Delft Technology Fellowship to support the start of her research program.\n[1 ] S. Wehner\, D.

One of the most famous geometric implications in condensed matter physics is the elegant proof of robust quantization of the integer quantum Hall plateau\, due to Thouless\, Niu\, and Wu\, which relates Hall conductivity to flux space curvature. In general\, geometries are defined for arbitrary paramet er spaces\, and important geometric quantities also include metrics. This talk focuses on ideal bands\, which are quantum systems saturating geometr ic bounds in flux space. We show that ideal bands precisely realize the lo west Landau levels on curved space. Building upon ideal bands\, we systema tically construct their higher Landau level partners\, termed generalized Landau levels\, and demonstrate quantized geometric invariants. Geometrica lly\, ideal bands and generalized Landau levels are holomorphic curves and associated moving frames. Finally\, we discuss the Hall viscosity associa ted with ideal bands and generalized Landau levels\, which are response co efficients for area-preserving deformations and represent curvature in the moduli space. We explore the implications for moiré materials and propose moiré systems as an experimentally feasible platform to simulate quantum Hall problems on curved space.

In this ta lk\, I will focus on the rich phenomenology of these models that has drast ic implications for their detection prospects and relic abundance calculat ion. On the detection front\, I will show that a broad class of vectorlike confining dark sectors are endowed with a symmetry (H-parity) that suppre sses their signals at direct detection experiments. On the abundance front I argue that in the heavy quark limit the confinement phase transition de pletes the symmetric component of dark matter abundance by orders of magni tude - independent of the portal to SM. I will also show that\, based on b asic group theory argument\, in minimal vectorlike confining dark sectors is typically a singlet of SM. Combined together\, our results identify gla ring gaps in our experimental program that can only be filled by future co llider searches.

I show how such methods are promising for measure ments at the Large Hadron Collider\, where no single observable may be opt imal to scan over the entire theoretical phase space under consideration\, or where binning data into histograms could result in a loss of sensitivi ty. Within the experiment\, we then develop an NSBI framework that enables the application of NSBI to a full-scale LHC analysis\, by developing seve ral new innovative solutions to enhance robustness and interpretability of our neural inference method. The method is a generalisation of the standa rd statistical framework at the LHC\, and can benefit a large number of ph ysics analyses\, such as the measurement of the Higgs width in ATLAS.\nBio : Dr. Aishik Ghosh is a particle physicist at UC Irvine and Berkeley Lab w here he studies Higgs physics at the ATLAS experiment using novel statisti cal and  uncertainty quantification methods\, that he develops.

It occurs in certain astroph ysical objects\, planetary interiors\, and inertial confinement fusion tar gets on their way to ignition. In fact\, the properties of materials in th ese extreme conditions play a critical role in the hydrodynamic instabilit ies that limit the performance of inertial fusion energy designs. However\ , creating and studying WDM requires access to expensive and specialized e xperimental facilities that produce short-lived and non-uniform samples at low repetition rates. Thus computer simulations of WDM are especially val uable and they occupy a significant fraction of the operating cycles on so me of the world’s largest supercomputers. However\, even the best classica l simulations are subject to severe uncertainties due to uncontrolled appr oximations that are difficult to quantify.\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will disc uss work aimed at understanding the prospects for using fault-tolerant qua ntum computers to simulate WDM with accuracy exceeding the classical state of the art. I will focus primarily on a recent result describing a quantu m algorithm and constant-factor resource estimates for calculating electro nic stopping powers\, of relevance to inertial fusion models (https://www. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2317772121) .

But where d oes this “quantum-ness” go? Are features of this quantum epoch observable in the sky? Anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide a pristine record of these quantum fluctuations but suffer from “cosmic va riance” – a limitation arising from our restrictions to observe the CMB in only one universe\, now\, and from our fixed vantage point. Can we beat c osmic variance to unveil the quantum Universe? In this talk\, I take a two -pronged approach towards answering these questions. First\, I introduce o ur work on circumventing cosmic variance where we quantify the additional information gained by measuring the polarization induced by the scattering of CMB photons in galaxy clusters. This signal is proportional to the CMB at the location and look-back time of the cluster and\, as I will show\, provides significant constraints on early Universe physics beyond existing CMB data. I will discuss the prospects of measuring signatures of entangl ement from the early Universe using this method. Second\, I will discuss t he role of decoherence in the quantum-to-classical transition. While in th e lab we assume a partition of the Hilbert space into constituent subsyste ms\, who decides how to partition the Universe? I show that this division into subsystems with quasi-classical features can be derived\, instead of being assumed\, from the spectrum of the Hamiltonian. This result allows u s to apply decoherence on cosmological scales (though it is confronted wit h challenges in recovering locality).

In the near-term\, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms\, which efficiently embed quantum hardware in classical framewo rks\, are crucial in bridging the vast divide in the performance of the pu rely-quantum algorithms and their classical counterparts. Here\, a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm is presented for the computation of non-pertur bative characteristics of quantum field theories. The presented algorithm relies on a universal parametrized quantum circuit ansatz based on Euler a nd Cartan's decompositions of single and two-qubit operators. It is benchm arked by computing the energy spectra of lattice realizations of quantum f ield theories with both short and long range interactions. Low depth circu its are provided for false vacua as well as highly excited states correspo nding to mesonic and baryonic excitations occurring in the analyzed models .

In CrSBr\, the strong spin-exciton coupling offers unique potential for precise optical measurements of spin degrees of freedom. Using tempora lly and spatially resolved optical techniques\, our work demonstrates that magnon transport in CrSBr is mediated by long-range dipole–dipole interac tions—a fundamental feature of electrodynamics likely to govern spin propa gation at long wavelengths in the entire class of van der Waals magnets. F urthermore\, we employ magnons to probe twisted CrSBr interfaces\, where q uantitative information about interfacial exchange interactions and hoppin g can be obtained.

Different from the conventional top-down approach of thinning down bulk polar materials\, the bottom-up approach ba sed on van der Waals assembly can engineer 2D ferroelectrics out of non-fe rroelectric parent compounds. By cutting one monolayer boron nitride (BN) in half and stacking them in parallel\, we engineer an inversion-symmetry broken bilayer BN that hosts out-of-plane polarization. This polarization can be switched by an out-of-plane electric field through the in-plane sl iding motion between the BN layers[1]. We further generalize this sliding ferroelectricity concept to bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides[2]. T he BN sliding ferroelectric has ultrafast switching speed and high enduran ce\, comparable to state-of-the-art ferroelectric field effect transistors [3]. Besides real space ferroelectricity engineering\, we demonstrate the ability to engineer material band structures in the reciprocal space. Whe n a small twist angle is introduced to the ferroelectric BN bilayer\, the staggered out-of-plane polarizations in twisted BN constitute a moiré ferr oelectric substrate that can modify band structures of the target material which senses the moiré potential [4].\n[1] K.

In magnetically ordered systems\, the collective excitations of spi n precessions are spin waves—the quanta of which are magnons.

In this talk\, I will discuss ou r recent work on coherent nonlinear magnon-magnon interactions in antiferr omagnets driven by tailored terahertz fields. We have demonstrated a unidi rectional magnon upconversion process and identified correlated magnonic r esponses at both the sum and difference frequencies of the interacting mag non modes. By tuning the difference frequency generation to match the ener gy of the low-frequency magnon mode\, we achieved parametric amplification of magnon coherence. Furthermore\, we reveal magnon self-interactions by increasing the driving fields to excite the magnon mode far from equilibri um.

Luttinge r liquids exhibit exotic quantum phenomena such as scale-invariant correla tion tunable by interaction strength\, but their experimental characteriza tion can be challenging. Our work [1] demonstrates that layer-stacking dom ain walls (DWs) in van der Waals heterostructures form a broadly tunable L uttinger liquid system\, including both isolated and coupled arrays. We us e scanning tunneling microscopy to image the evolution of DW Luttinger liq uids under different interaction regimes. Single DWs at low carrier densit y are highly susceptible to Wigner crystallization\, whereas at intermedia te densities dimerized Wigner crystals form because of an enhanced magneto -elastic coupling. Periodic arrays of DWs exhibit an interplay between int ra- and inter-chain interactions giving rise to new quantum phases: At low electron densities\, dominant inter-chain interactions induce a 2D electr on crystal of phased-locked 1D Wigner crystal in a staggered configuration \; Increased electron density causes intra-chain fluctuation potentials to dominate\, leading to an electronic smectic liquid crystal phase with alg ebraical correlation decay along the chain direction but disordered betwee n chains.

My work uncovers new tensions between th e strong CP problem and the axion domain wall problem in cosmology\, which place significant constraints on various QCD axion models.

It had been a long standing question if FQHE can be obtained wit hout magnetic field (dubbed as fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (F QAHE)). The basic ingredients for electronic bands to support lowest-Landa u-level-type FQAHE had been identified by theorists to be: (i) flat isolat ed Chern band with a gap larger than interaction scale\, (ii) ideal quantu m geometry and (iii) uniform Berry curvature -- these type of electronic b ands are called ideal flat bands. However\, it remained elusive in experim ents since realizing these requirements in solid state materials turned ou t to be almost impossible. With the recent advent of moire materials\, suc h as twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and twisted transition metal dichalcog enides (TMDs)\, where ideal flat bands mimicking lowest Landau level had b een identified\, the excitement toward realization of FQAHE renewed. Indee d\, in the past year FQAHE has been experimentally observed in twisted TMD s. However\, these developments beg the questions: (i) are there other pla tforms to realize lowest Landau-level type of flat bands in moire systems? (ii) can we find flat-bands in moire systems which have properties beyond twisted bilayer graphene/TMDs? (iii) can there be FQAHE beyond FQHE in La ndau levels? In this talk\, I first show that graphene or TMD like K-valle y material or two layers with twist are not essential to realize ideal fla t bands\, it can be achieved in a monolayer Gamma-valley 2D material with a quadratic band crossing point\, by applying moire periodic strain. These flat bands share similarities to those in twisted bilayer graphene\, with the added benefit of a more uniform Berry curvature distribution\, which is crucial for stabilizing FQAHE. Next\, I show that the number of ideal f lat bands in moire systems do not need to be limited to 1 or 2 per valley per spin as in twisted TMD or TBG\, and the maximum number of flat bands i s dictated by the symmetries of the moire system. We systematically classi fy all possible numbers of ideal flat bands with different point group sym metries\, unifying all known examples in monolayer and bilayer systems. In the last part of the talk\, I discuss the possibility of novel many body ground states that can emerge in these flat bands with high degeneracy. Ou r exact diagonalization results show evidence of FQAHE beyond FQHE in LLs\ , whose Hall conductance differs from the filling factor.

Despite d ecades of intense effort on both experimental and theoretical fronts we ar e yet to find any direct evidence for new particles in experiment. Gravita tional waves offer a number of unique and exciting opportunities to probe the dark sector including the `nightmare’ scenario where dark matter does not posses non-gravitational couplings to the Standard Model. Long baselin e atom interferometers are set to open the window to mid-frequency (0.001- 10 Hz) gravitational waves in the near future\, broadening the range of ne w physics scenarios that we might hope to probe in this way. In this talk I will survey the landscape of possible contributions to the total ‘gravit ational wave background’ within this frequency band\, finding that the ins pirals of known populations of stellar-mass compact binaries cumulatively produce a signal well within reach of proposed experiments. I will further show that hypothetical populations of dark sector exotic compact objects such as fermion and boson stars could generate signatures unique to mid- a nd low-frequency gravitational wave detectors\, providing a novel means to probe complexity in the dark sector.

Re cently\, indirect evidence of inter-valley coherent (IVC) order has been r eported in rhombohedral trilayer graphene (RTG) [1]\, with possible implic ations for the origin of superconductivity [2]. In this talk I will presen t our recent work [3] on the first direct visualization of IVC order in RT G using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. By tuning the chem ical potential through the van-Hove singularity near the edge of the valen ce band\, we observe a cascade of phase transitions associated with the fo rmation of half- and quarter-metal states. Next\, I will show that IVC pha ses\, distinguished by an enlarged real space unit cell\, are present near both the high- and low-density boundaries of the half-metal phase. I will discuss how we precisely reconstruct the IVC band structure through quasi particle interference. Finally\, I will present evidence of a novel IVC ph ase\, an incommensurate IVC\, that agrees with the recent prediction of an IVC-crystal phase [4]. This incommensurate order originates from the intr insic annular Fermi surface of RTG. It introduces a spontaneously generate d mini-Brillouin zone to the RTG band structure\, in contrast to twisted s ystems where this feature is imposed by the stacking arrangement.\n1.

These oscillations are controlled by checkpoint sys tems that surveil the cell for errors such as DNA damage and activate erro r-correction mechanisms. Checkpoints are often thought to be simple: activ ating in the presence of errors and off otherwise. However\, in an increas ing number of systems it is actually observed that when errors are not fix ed\, checkpoints turn off regardless after some time. We asked whether cel lular error correction systems reflect the timescales of oscillations. Tha t is\, are error correction systems shaped by time pressure on cells to di vide and proliferate? We have also been leveraging the rhythms of cellular doubling for engineering. In particular\, we realized that the need for c ertain proteins to cycle during cellular replication can be used to evolve proteins that switch between different states. I will present this new ap proach to 'directed evolution'\, which we have applied to light-sensitive proteins and logic gates.

The cavit y photons serve two roles: they efficiently transfer quantum information f rom the atomic ensemble to external measurement devices\, and they act as force carriers\, facilitating long-range interactions among the atoms. By selectively coupling a single atom to the cavity mode\, we achieve rapid m id-circuit measurements without perturbing the quantum coherence of the ot her atoms—a crucial step toward quantum error correction. Conversely\, the collective emission from multiple atoms into the cavity can be coherently enhanced or suppressed. We demonstrate atom-by-atom control over collecti ve light-atom interactions\, observing both super- and sub-radiant cavity emissions from the constructed atomic ensembles. This collective atom-cavi ty coupling sets the stage for engineering long-range interactions through photon exchange\, enabling the observation of self-organization phase tra nsitions in mesoscopic systems and revealing key hallmarks of mesoscopic p hysics.

The arrival time of pulses can be altered by the passage of gravitational waves (GWs) between them and the Earth\, t hus serving as a galaxy-wide GW detector. Evidence for the first detection of low-frequency (~nHz) gravitational waves has recently been reported ac ross multiple PTA collaborations\, opening a new observational window into the Universe. Although the origin of the GW signal is yet to be determine d\, the dominant sources are expected to be inspiralling supermassive blac k holes. I will discuss a recent work in which we compare the GW detection s by PTAs with the expected signal implied by existing electromagnetic obs ervations in a simple but robust manner. We highlight that there is a simp le upper limit to the GWB amplitude and that the currently measured GW amp litude is somewhat larger than expected.

How ever\, this bound is often trivial for questions of many-body dynamics\, a s the relevant timescales grow with the number of particles. For example\, the fast scrambling conjecture (partly motivated from models of black hol es and quantum circuits) suggests that the scrambling of quantum informati on between N interacting particles at temperature T requires a time that i s at least (log N)/T. Though such statements have been challenging to prov e\, they are of fundamental importance for the emergence of quantum statis tical mechanics. In this talk\, we will describe a formulation of the ener gy-time uncertainty principle that gives nontrivial speed limits for many- body systems\, by taking into account the full structure of the energy spe ctrum. This structure is accessed through the spectral form factor\, a tim e-domain quantity that can be efficiently probed in experiments\, includin g present-day quantum simulation platforms. Applying this relation to a qu antum system coupled to a thermal bath\, we will formulate and prove a rig orous fast scrambling statement in terms of the entanglement entropy of sc rambled states\, showing this bound to be a fundamental property of quantu m mechanics without any model-specific assumptions. We will also show that certain “maximally chaotic” systems exhibit slow scrambling behaviors due to sharp edges in their energy spectrum. These results build towards an “ ergodic theory” of quantum information dynamics\, establishing how energy spectra determine universal dynamical features of quantum system.

In relaxation solutions\, a moduli dynamic ally adjusts the mass of dark matter and baryons until their energy densit ies are O(1) the same. Because the QCD axion is heavily connected to QCD\, scanning the QCD axion mass inherently also scans the proton mass. In the context of relaxation solutions\, this implies that the ratio of dark mat ter to baryon abundances (ΩDM/ΩB) is a ratio of beta functions showing tha t these models can only accommodate discrete values of ΩDM/ΩB thereby “pre dicting” the ratio of the dark matter to baryon abundances. The original c omposite axion model has only a single integer degree of freedom N\, the s ize of the gauge group\, and we show that when N = 8 the observed value of ΩDM/ΩB = 5.36 is reproduced to within its percent level error bars. Novel tests of this model include more precise measurements of ΩDM/ΩB\, a bette r lattice determination of the dependence of the proton mass on the high e nergy QCD gauge coupling\, as well as more traditional tests such as fifth force experiments.

Neutral atoms trapped in optical potentia ls can realize such processors\, where non-local fermionic statistics are guaranteed at the hardware level. Implementing quantum error correction in this setup is however challenging\, due to the atom-number superselection present in atomic systems\, that is\, the impossibility of creating coher ent superpositions of different particle numbers. In this work\, we overco me this constraint and present a blueprint for an error-corrected fermioni c quantum processor that can be implemented using current experimental cap abilities. To achieve this\, we first consider an ancillary set of fermion ic modes and design a fermionic reference\, which we then use to construct superpositions of different numbers of referenced fermions. This allows u s to build logical fermionic modes that can be error corrected using stand ard atomic operations. Here\, we focus on phase errors\, which we expect t o be a dominant source of errors in neutral-atom quantum processors. We th en construct logical fermionic gates\, and show their implementation for t he logical particle-number conserving processes relevant for quantum simul ation. Finally\, our protocol is illustrated with a minimal fermionic circ uit\, where it leads to a quadratic suppression of the logical error rate.

A key approach to fo rce electrons to strongly interact with one another is to confine them to energy bands with no momentum dispersion\, i.e. flat bands. Flat bands can be realized in two-dimensional materials in a high magnetic field or in n ewly discovered moiré materials in which quantum interference can give ris e to flat energy bands. The journey of exploring old and new flat bands\, using high resolution quantum microscopy\, has taken us from confirming so me of the earliest predictions for correlated phases of matter (such as fo rmation of Wigner crystal)\, to new approaches to probe novel quantum phas es that host exotic quasiparticles that are neither bosons or fermions.

In this talk I will describe a simple\, flexible\, and robust protocol to prepare low-energy states of arbitrary H amiltonians on either digital or analog quantum hardware. The protocol is inspired by the “adiabatic demagnetization” technique used to cool solid s tate systems to extremely low temperatures. A constant fraction of the ava ilable qubits serve as a renewable bath\, enabling the cooling process to be run in a cyclic fashion. Measurements of the bath spins at the end of e ach cycle provide information on the progress of cooling. In the simplest implementation\, we find that the performance of the algorithm in the pres ence of a finite error rate depends on the nature of the excitations of th e system: systems with topological excitations (which cannot be created or destroyed individually) are fundamentally more difficult to cool than sys tems with trivial local excitations. This difference is reflected both in the form of the approach to the steady state (exponential vs. power law in time) and the scaling of the steady state energy density with the rate of imposed errors/noise. Intriguingly\, we show that this challenge can be o vercome by encoding the system’s degrees of freedom into those of the quan tum simulator in a non-local manner by the introduction of gauge fields\, which act as a reservoir for removing excitations while maintaining locali ty of the implementation.

We have amazing tools from satellites to observatories to weigh the universe as it is today and also as it was in the past. But the conten t of the Universe can simply not be explained by physicists. To get the fu ll picture\, we need to identify and understand the interactions at play t hroughout the life of the Universe. This is the meeting point between part icle physics and cosmology. At this meeting point stands the neutron\, a v ery common particle that we can uniquely use in high precision experiments . I will present how experiments searching for a permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) aim at discovering new sources of CP violati on beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and understanding the ori gin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The quest for the neutron electric dipole moment started more than sixty years ago. In recen t experiments\, polarized ultra-cold neutrons are stored in material bottl es. I will present the latest measurement to date and our new project at t he Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.

Such alg orithms are capable of accurately detecting objects that incur significant spatial overlap and are thus a viable tool for detecting composite event topologies. In cases where a rare event signal is a composite consisting o f commonly-observed constituents\, an object detection algorithm could be trained to detect these constituents and then use their locations to ident ify rare event candidates. This opens up the possibility of data-driven tr aining for rare event searches.\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate this pr inciple for the MIGDAL experiment’s rare event search for the Migdal effec t. In particular\, I will present an end-to-end object detection pipeline trained on real data to identify electronic and nuclear recoils – the cons tituents forming the characteristic Migdal effect topology.

On the heavy side\, the kagome band structure hosts a pair of saddle poi nts that correspond to van Hove singularities with a diverging density of states. Destructive interference further yields a flat band of localized m oments. On the light side\, it hosts a symmetry-protected Dirac band of ma ssless electrons that\, under certain layer stacking schemes\, gives rise to three-dimensional massless Weyl electrons. We studied the three motifs on the atomic scale using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We visualized W eyl electrons on the surface of the kagome-stacked ferromagnet Co3Sn2S2. O n its kagome Co3Sn termination\, we identified a new mechanism under which a breathing distortion turns the kagome van Hove singularity into a highe r-order one at the Fermi energy. The strong interactions result in a spont aneous formation of a nematic state under a Pomeranchuk instability. In th e kagome metal Ni3In\, the kagome flat band is tuned to the Fermi energy\, resulting in the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory signified by a strange metal non-linear temperature dependence of resistivity. We identify spectr oscopically the localized degrees of freedom and their strong interactions with Dirac light bands pertaining to heavy-Fermion systems. Our studies t hus reveal the exciting opportunities put forward by kagome metals for the investigation of exotic electronic states ranging from massless Dirac-par ticles\, through moderately heavy states exhibiting spontaneous symmetry b reaking\, to super-heavy ones at which the interaction energy surpasses th e bandwidth extending the universality of the heavy Fermion paradigm to ka gome flat bands.\nVideo Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250414T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250415T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250414T201006Z LOCATION:PAA A-102 SUMMARY:: From Massless to Super Heavy Electrons in Kagome Metals TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-04-14/massless-super-heavy-elec trons-kagome-metals END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:e30b6caa-e48a-40e5-94dc-ecf2f38facc8 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250414T185744Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Isabel Garcia Garcia\, University of Washington\n\nI w ill discuss field configurations of Abelian gauge fields that carry second Chern number\, generated by closed monopole worldlines in four-dimensiona l Euclidean space.

We describe the develop ment and findings of an Autonomous Model Builder (AMBer)\, which uses Rein forcement Learning (RL) to efficiently find models satisfying specified di screte flavor symmetries and particle content. Aside from valiant efforts by theorists following their intuition\, these theory spaces are not deepl y explored due to the vast number of possibilities and the time-consuming nature of building and fitting a model for a given symmetry group and part icle assignment. The lack of any guarantee of continuity or differentiabil ity prevents the application of typical machine learning approaches.

Future gamma-ray observatories\, such as e-ASTROGAM and next-generation telescopes\, are poised to explore this possibility by measuring both Stan dard Model (SM) and beyond-the-SM particle emissions. A particularly promi sing avenue involves the production of dark photons\, hypothetical particl es that decay into photons\, by PBHs. In this work\, we investigate the tr ident decay of dark photons into three photons\, focusing on their emissio n from PBHs. We assume that dark photons produced via Hawking radiation de cay into photons well before reaching Earth\, thereby enhancing the detect able gamma-ray flux. The energy spectrum of these dark photons is distinct from that of directly Hawking-radiated photons due to higher degree of fr eedom\, leading to observable modifications in the gamma-ray signal. Using asteroid-mass PBHs as a case study\, we demonstrate that future gamma-ray missions could detect dark photon signatures and distinguish them from co nventional Hawking radiation. This approach enables the exploration of pre viously inaccessible parameter spaces in dark photon mass and their coupl ing to photons\, offering a novel pathway to uncover the properties of dar k sectors and the nature of PBHs.Bio:  Kingman Cheung is a Professor of Ph ysics at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)\, Taiwan\, specializing in e lementary particle physics and physics beyond the Standard Model\, with a strong record of bridging theoretical and experimental research.

Despite their fundamental importance\, their behavior in turbulent regim es remains poorly understood\, and their global regularity is still an ope n problem. Here\, we reformulate the NS equations as a nonlinear equation for the momentum loop  $\vec P(\theta\, t)$\, effectively reducing the ori ginal three-dimensional PDE to a one-dimensional problem.  We present an e xplicit analytical solution—the Euler ensemble—which describes the univers al asymptotic state of decaying turbulence and is supported by numerical s imulations and experimental validation. Mathematically\, this solution is equivalent to a string theory with a discrete target space\, made of regul ar star polygons\, with extra Ising (or fermionic) degrees of freedom on e ach side. The computations of observable energy spectrum in turbulence are based on Number theory distributions of fractions\, plus the instanton co mputations of harmonic fluctuations in a nontrivial background of our stri ng.

Specifically\, we develop and analyze Kogut-Susskind-type Ham iltonians on honeycomb and hyper-honeycomb spatial lattices\, which minimi ze plaquette operator complexity by involving only three-link vertices. Th ese constructions are enhanced through quantum tadpole improvements\, wher e we explore the emergence of spacetime-dependent renormalizations in real -time simulations\, highlighting the need for coefficient updates that dep end on the current quantum state. Together\, these developments mark signi ficant steps toward scalable and accurate quantum simulations of gauge the ories.

Colliders smash particles together at high energies\, briefly producing new particles through quantum fluctuations\, which then decay in to complicated sprays of energy in surrounding detectors. Much in analogy with how the details of our cosmic history are imprinted in the cosmic mic rowave background\, the detailed features of the interactions of elementar y particles are imprinted into macroscopic correlations in the energy flow of the collision products. Understanding the underlying microscopic physi cs in collider experiments therefore relies on our ability to decode these complicated correlations in energy flow. In turn\, the desire to understa nd how to compute collider observables from an underlying quantum field th eory (QFT) description has been a driver of theoretical developments and i nsights into the structure of QFT itself.\nIn this talk I will present som e recent highlights in the quest to better understand the strong nuclear f orce at collider experiments\, driven by recent theoretical developments i n the understanding of a class of observables called 'Energy Correlators'. I will then provide an overview of applications at the frontier of the co llider physics program\, ranging from precision measurements\, to new prob es of nuclear physics\, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model .\nVideo Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250602T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250603T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250602T190056Z LOCATION:PAA A-102 SUMMARY:: Imaging the Intrinsic and Emergent Scales of Quantum Chromodynami cs with Colliders TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-06-02/imaging-intrinsic-and-eme rgent-scales-quantum-chromodynamics-colliders END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:307c1005-6055-4ebd-98fc-07a9d3f97bcb DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Final Exams CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250528T212208Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250603T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250604T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250614T001806Z LOCATION:eScience Conference Room (PAT 6th floor) SUMMARY:: Final Exam Towards High redshift Cosmology with Lyman break Galax ies Detected by LSST TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-06-03/final-exam-towards-high-r edshift-cosmology-lyman-break-galaxies-detected-lsst END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:adb2a345-17b4-4c9f-af9f-958ab339f463 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250528T215341Z DESCRIPTION:This session is part of BNL-INT Joint Workshop 25-93W\, 'Bridgi ng Theory and Experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider'.\nThis session will take place in-person in room PAT C-607.\nFor the full list of speakers\, session times\, and general workshop information\, please visit the 25-93W webpage.\nThis is an in-person workshop.

In this talk\, I will examine what the CMB can tell us abo ut potential new\, light particles from hidden dark sectors. I will focus on two limiting cases of their dynamics: either collisionless particles su ch as Standard Model neutrinos or relics with considerable self-interactio ns such that they can be treated as a perfect fluid. I will first review h ow the CMB is sensitive to both the abundance and composition of this new dark radiation via a succinct rephrasing of the physical effects. I will t hen explain the differential impact that these two types of light relics h ave on cosmological observables as well as their degeneracies with other p arameters that could potentially obscure their signals. Next\, I will prov ide and interpret updated constraints on the radiation sector of our Unive rse with the latest analysis of data from the Planck satellite as well as the latest CMB lensing data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Furtherm ore\, I will show how galaxy survey data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopi c Instrument hint at a detection of new\, strongly-interacting light relic s. I will conclude with a forecast on what the next generation of CMB expe riments\, such as CMB-S4\, will be able to tell us about dark radiation in the early universe.

We deve lop a phenomenological theory of nonreciprocal switching and retrapping in underdamped junctions within the resistively and capacitively shunted jun ction (RCSJ) model. We find that while the diodelike behavior of switching currents is rooted in asymmetric current-phase relations (requiring broke n time-reversal symmetry)\, nonreciprocal retrapping currents originate in asymmetric quasiparticle currents (requiring broken particle-hole symmetr y). These distinct symmetry requirements explain the observation of nonrec iprocal retrapping in Josephson junctions that involve a single magnetic a tom\, where Yu–Shiba–Rusinov (YSR) states break particle-hole symmetry at subgap energies. Going beyond phenomenology\, we show how  nonreciprocity in the RCSJ model arises from a microscopic description. Essentially\, the YSR states contribute significantly to the damping when the transparency of the junction is relatively large\, necessitating a calculation to all o rders in the tunneling amplitude. Within an adiabatic approximation\, the damping reduces to the quasiparticle current evaluated at the instantaneou s junction voltage—thereby inheriting YSR-induced particle–hole asymmetrie s in the density of states and capturing higher-order processes such as mu ltiple Andreev reflections. Finally\, we show that the accompanying fluctu ations obey a generalized (nonlinear) fluctuation–dissipation relation pro vided temperatures are sufficiently large.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T133000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250815T175026Z LOCATION:B421 SUMMARY:: Dissipation induced diode effects in current biased Josephson jun ctions TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-08-21/dissipation-induced-diode -effects-current-biased-josephson-junctions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1ffe7d0c-ebac-463a-b457-13c83c39c24b DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250818T180912Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T160000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250818T180947Z LOCATION:PAT C-421 SUMMARY:: Fermionic Magic Resources of Quantum Many Body Systems TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-08-21/fermionic-magic-resources -quantum-many-body-systems END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1b22a3d3-c3a8-497b-adb0-77b2de449acc DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250818T165237Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: InQubator for Quantum Simulation workshop\n\nThe “Work shop on Many-Body Quantum Magic” aims to delve into the complex and fascin ating resource of nonstabilizerness\, or “magic\,” a vital and expensive r esource for quantum computation that enables quantum computers to surpass classical systems.\n\nRecent progress in measuring and analyzing magic now allows for discussing the generation\, manipulation\, and quantification of magic in extensive quantum systems\, directly informing strategies to r educe runtime overhead in quantum computing and quantum simulation.

The first segment of this run\, designated O4a\, has alo ne yielded 81 confirmed detections\, significantly expanding the dataset a vailable to probe the population properties of stellar-mass compact object s. In this talk I will highlight the key insights derived from the O4a gra vitational-wave detections\, and their impact on our understanding of the astrophysics of compact objects.\n\nThis event will take place in PAB C-52 0.

In add ition\, understanding magic in quantum many-body systems\, its interplay w ith entanglement and relations with physical phenomena\, provide new funda mental insights on the structure and dynamics of matter\, and can guide th e development of new methods and algorithms that are computationally more efficient.\n\nThis workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in various fields of quantum information\, quantum computing\, quantum simula tion and many-body physics to foster discussions and collaborations on top ics related to magic\, and to develop strategies for accelerating the deve lopment of quantum computers and high-priority simulations through magic-c entric optimizations.\n\nSubjects to be explored include: 1) the magic of quantum many-body systems and interplay with entanglement\; 2) Resource th eory of magic\; 3) Resource cost of (quantum) algorithms\; 4) Experimental study of magic\; 5) (Quantum) algorithms for generating\, learning\, and certifying magic\; 6) Magic of (fault-tolerant) quantum computers and simu lators.\n\nFormat and scope: The workshop will have a lightly-planned sche dule\, with ~ three talks per day and plenty of time for interaction and c ollaboration between participants. In addition\, there will be focussed “r ump sessions” throughout both weeks.\n\nWorkshop Participants: Sam Alterma n (Tufts University)\, Yuto Ashida (University of Tokyo\, Japan)\, Nikita Astrakhantsev (Google AI)\, Benjamin Beri (University of Cambridge\, UK)\, Michael Beverland (IBM)\, Jiunn-Wei Chen (National Taiwan University\, Ta iwan)\, Mario Collura (SISSA\, Italy)\,  Stefano Cusumano (University of N aples Federico II\, Italy)\,   Rosario Fazio (ICTP\, Trieste\, Italy)\, He nry Froland (IQuS)\, Sasha Geim (Harvard University)\, Soumik Ghosh (Unive rsity of Chicago)\,  Dorota Grabowski (IQuS)\, Sebastian Grieninger  (IQuS )\, Andrew Hallam (University of Leeds\, UK)\,  Michael Hanks (Imperial Co llege London\, UK)\,  Tobias Haug (Technology Innovation Institute\, UAE)\ ,  Zoe Holmes (EPFL\, Switzerland)\,  Liang Jiang (University of Chicago)\ , David Korbany (University of Bologna\, Italy)\, Nikolaos Koukoulekidis ( Duke University)\,  Tristan Kraft (Technical University Munich\, Germany)\ ,  Brad Lackey (Microsoft)\,  Guglielmo Lami (CY Cergy Paris Université\, France)\,  Lorenzo Leone ( Freie Universität Berlin\, Germany)\,  Zhiyao L i (IQuS)\, Peter Love (Tufts University)\,  Sergi Masot (Barcelona Superco mputing Center\, Spain)\,  William Munizzi (University of California\, Los Angeles)\,  Salvatore F.E Oliviero (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa\, It aly)\,  Francesco Pederiva (University of Trento\, INFN\, Italy)\,  Sarah Powell (IQuS)\, Arnau Rios (University of Barcelona\, Institute of Cosmos Sciences\, Spain)\, Caroline Robin (Bielefeld University\, Germany)\,  Man uel Rudolph (EPFL\, Switzerland)\,  Martin Savage (IQuS)\, Piotr Sierant ( Barcelona Supercomputing Center\, Spain)\,  Poetri Tarabunga (Technical Un iversity of Munich\, Germany)\,  Emanuele Tirrito (ICTP\, Trieste\, Italy) \,  Matthias Troyer (Microsoft)\,  Xhek Turkeshi (University of Cologne\, Germany)\, Xiaojun Yao (IQuS)\, Owen Young (IQuS)\, Kyle Wendt (Lawrence L ivermore National Laboratory)\, Chris D.

However\, no experime nt employing different target materials has observed a dark matter signal consistent with their result. To address this puzzle\, the COSINE-100 coll aboration conducted a model-independent test using sodium iodide crystal d etectors\, the same target material as DAMA/LIBRA. Analyzing data collecte d over 6.4 years by the effective mass of 61.3 kg\, with improved energy c alibration and time-dependent background modeling\, we found no evidence o f an annual modulation signal\, challenging the DAMA/LIBRA result with a c onfidence level greater than 3σ. This finding represents a substantial ste p toward resolving the long-standing debate surrounding DAMA/LIBRA's dark matter claim\, indicating that the observed modulation is unlikely to be c aused by dark matter interactions.

Sathyaprakash -- Penn State University\n\nGravita tional-wave observations have ushered in a new era in fundamental physics and astrophysics\, giving us the ability to witness the dynamics of spacet ime directly. In less than a decade\, detections by LIGO and Virgo have re vealed unexpected populations of black holes and neutron stars\, challengi ng long-standing ideas of how massive stars form\, evolve\, and die.  Grav itational-wave observations have also provided an unprecedented view of de nse matter\, a new tool for cosmology and unveiled new tests of general re lativity confirming the Hawking Area Law and the Kerr nature of black hole s. Yet current detectors can probe only the nearby Universe. Next-generati on observatories—Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope—will open acce ss to black hole mergers at cosmic dawn and neutron star mergers beyond th e epoch of peak star formation. Together\, they promise discoveries that w ill reshape astrophysics\, cosmology\, and fundamental physics.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250923T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250923T163000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250919T230420Z LOCATION:PAT C-421 SUMMARY:: DUSC INT Joint Seminar First Ten Years of Gravitational Wave Obse rvations and Beyond TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-09-23/dusc-int-joint-seminar-fi rst-ten-years-gravitational-wave-observations-and-beyond END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:e20406c7-795e-4e36-a5e0-4aa0ea3ce053 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250922T164001Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cecilia Chirenti - University of Maryland / GSFC / UFA BC\n\nThis talk is featured as part of INT Program 25-2b\, 'From Colliders to the Cosmos: Exploring the Extremes of Matter with Experiment and Astro physical Observation'.The speaker will give this talk in-person in room PA T C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times\, and general program i nformation\, please visit the 25-2b webpage.Please contact intmail[at]uw.e du if you have any questions.

A new particle\, the QCD axion\, could s hed light on both fronts and throw open a window on energies otherwise ina ccessible to experiment.  However\, the axion presents a challenging searc h target: it interacts very feebly\, making it difficult to produce and de tect\, and its minute mass ranges across many orders of magnitude\, requir ing a host of approaches. I will outline directions that leverage novel ef fects in the extreme environments of the early universe\, neutron stars\, and black holes to test new axion and other light particle parameter space .  I will then focus on my dark matter proposals based on dielectric metam aterials and describe how volume-filling geometries such as disordered med ia can counterintuitively act as efficient axion-to-photon conversion targ ets.Video Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250929T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250930T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T182328Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: From the Sky to the Lab New searches for the lightest particles TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-09-29/sky-lab-new-searches-ligh test-particles END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:31dd2ed6-2ced-4dd5-b4fd-a812752fdbb3 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250818T182237Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250930T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250930T100000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250818T182315Z LOCATION:PAT C-421 SUMMARY:: Noncontextual Hamiltonians TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-09-30/noncontextual-hamiltonian s END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:71600cf0-6921-4eef-b14e-64e17a63e977 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250930T182152Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bram Slagmolen\n\nHigh-precision instruments designed to measure Newtonian noise can also open doors to new physics. One such in strument is the Torsion Pendulum Dual Oscillator (TorPeDO)\, which targets direct detection of Newtonian noise—a key challenge for the next generati on of gravitational-wave detectors. Beyond this\, TorPeDO’s design may all ow us to explore questions around dark matter\, semi-classical gravity\, a nd Lorentz invariance.

Genetic in formation is encoded in the sequence of bases A\, C\, G\, & T. Sequencing DNA is a remarkable feat of engineering. Individual DNA bases differ from one another by just a few atoms and occur in a chain separated from each o ther by just ~6 Ångstroms\, while typical genomes are billions of bases lo ng. A decade ago\, our group was the first to demonstrate a new way of seq uencing DNA using a nanopore that is now regularly used by geneticists wor ld-wide. In my talk\, I’ll describe how nanopore sequencing works and how we’re working to improve it and expand its use beyond ACGT-DNA. Notably\, it is the first sequencing technology based on a physical measurement of D NA bases. We took advantage of this to enable the first sequencing of “ALt ernative Isoinformational ENgineered” (ALIEN) DNA\, a biomimetic genetic p olymer. ALIEN DNA has the same sugar-phosphate backbone as natural DNA\, h owever its bases “P\,' 'Z\,' 'S\,' & 'B\,” are entirely anthropogenic and base-pair orthogonally to ACGT DNA. In the second half of my talk I’ll sho w how the nanopore can be used as a powerful new single-molecule tool to o bserve the biophysics of molecular motors at unrivaled spatiotemporal reso lution\, revealing how they use chemical energy to perform work and walk a long DNA.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251006T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251007T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T182317Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: Sequencing ALIEN DNA and watching molecular motors at work TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-10-06/sequencing-alien-dna-and- watching-molecular-motors-work END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1add1147-6a4a-46fb-a8e2-9a6e9dbec630 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260407T201103Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Reza Ebadi\, University of Maryland.\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore novel approaches for detecting ultralight dark matter can didates.

The absence of particles beyond the Sta ndard Model directly produced in proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadro n Collider suggests that such a theory lies beyond the LHC collision energ y. However\, the quantum nature of high-energy physics allows us to probe dynamics at scales beyond the collision energy through rare processes invo lving heavy intermediate particles. In this framework\, precise measuremen ts of observables that are accurately predicted by the Standard Model prov ide highly sensitive tests that may reveal new fundamental particles. Flav or physics has long exploited this strategy to search for signs of new phe nomena.

When the energy exceeds a critical threshold\, the string breaks and produces a particle-antiparticle pair. We show that this system exhibits thermal-like behavior even in the static configuration\, allowin g us to assign it an effective temperature. We focus on quantum informatio n measures to characterize the string breaking process: entanglement entro py and quantum magic. The latter is an emerging resource measure in quantu m computation that quantifies how difficult a state is to simulate classic ally. These complementary probes offer new insights into the non-perturbat ive confinement mechanism in gauge theories.

Optimizing cell fitness would seem to predict that protein abundances should be “just enough” due to th e trade off between achieving function while minimizing the load from the expression of unnecessary protein\; however\, recent experiments demonstra te order-of-magnitude reductions in essential protein abundances without r eductions in cell fitness. How can this observed essential protein overabu ndance be rationalized?In this colloquium\, I will present an analytically -tractable model for the role of gene expression in cell fitness. The mode l describes the trade-off between protein function and metabolic load and predicts three novel principles that optimize gene expression\, including a prediction that vast overabundance is optimal for low-expression essenti al proteins. I will present evidence for each of these proposed principles in a range of organisms\, including measurements with single-cell resolut ion as well as a proteome-wide approach that characterizes essential prote in overabundance in the emerging model bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi.

These constructions highlight the deep connections between l ocal gauge invariance and QEC codes based on the stabilizer formalism.

This phase arises from the hadron phase when using a 3 dimensional string model for QCD. This string theory has no unconstrained parameters.  It accurate ly describes the thermodynamics of quarkless QCD\, and as well\, QCD with dynamical quarks\, precisely reproducing lattice data for T less than 165 MeV  for the pressure\, energy density and chiral order parameter.  In add ition\, the measured spectrum of massive meson states is accurately descri bed. The  Hagedorn limiting temperature for this theory is about 300 MeV\, much larger than previously considered.  The implications for QCD at fini te temperature and baryon density are explored.This event will take place in PAB C-421.

Although obser ved in systems such as DNA\, helicenes\, proteins\, and polymers\, the fun damental physical origin of CISS remains unresolved. Here\, we introduce a time-dependent relativistic four-current framework\, in which charge and current densities evolve according to the time-dependent variational princ iple. Real-time relativistic four-current simulations enable direct analys is of helical currents and induced magnetization dynamics. Applied to heli cenes---axially chiral molecules lacking stereocenters---our simulations r eveal curvature-induced helical electron currents that generate spontaneou s magnetic fields aligned along the molecular axis. These fields are hande dness-dependent and reach magnitudes of 10-1 Tesla per single helicene str and. Our results suggest that CISS may arise from intrinsic\, relativistic curvature-induced helical currents and the associated magnetic fields wit hin chiral molecules. This four-current mechanism offers a self-contained explanation for spin selectivity\, independent of interfacial effects or s trong spin-orbit coupling. Furthermore\, our results lead to several testa ble hypotheses that can be explored in experiments.

Atomically thin van der Waals materials now allow these concepts to coexist in a single\, hig hly tunable platform. In multilayer graphene\, flat electronic bands with sizable Berry curvature arise from metastable rhombohedral stacking or fro m twist-induced moiré superlattices. I will discuss recent results from bo th systems\, emphasizing how electrostatic gating\, displacement field\, m agnetic field\, temperature\, and uniaxial strain tune correlated and topo logical phases. In rhombohedral graphene\, the electronic wavefunction con centrates on the outer crystal faces and is nearly absent in the bulk. We observe spin-triplet superconductivity in this dual-surface–polarized semi metal\, providing a new geometric control knob for pairing. The same mater ial also hosts an h/e2-quantized anomalous Hall state. In magic-angle twis ted bilayer graphene\, we use continuous uniaxial strain to tune the moiré geometry and corresponding flat bands. The resistivity shows a large elas toresponse that depends on band filling and temperature\, and in some regi mes follows Curie–Weiss-like behavior consistent with a strain-coupled ele ctronic susceptibility.

In a Fermi liquid\, the shot noise signatur e reveals which scattering mechanism — electron-electron or electron-impur ity — dominantly impedes charge motion and is thereby a window into the mi croscopic physics of an electronic system. However\, the understanding of shot noise in strongly correlated phases\, for which a quasiparticle pictu re may not be justified\, is far less advanced. In this talk\, I will shar e recent progress on this problem for a certain class of strongly-correlat ed systems. In particular\, I will present a theory of the non-equilibrium current response for metallic systems near quantum critical points where electronic quasiparticles fractionalize\, such as systems near continuous metal-insulator transitions. I will sketch the derivation of a non-perturb ative current noise composition law\, wherein the total noise is the sum o f the noise of each fractionalized constituent (bosonic holons and fermion ic spinons)\, weighted by their respective resistivities. This composition rule can be interpreted in terms of a simple analogy with resistors in se ries.

FCIs differ from the traditional fractional quantum Hall effec t not only because they occur without external magnetic fields but also be cause of essential lattice effects that give rise to topologically non-tri vial moiré bands. Despite these differences\, the sequence of FCIs observe d in moiré transition metal dichalcogenides and multi-layer graphene align s with the hierarchy of Jain states found in the conventional FQH system\, which can be interpreted in terms of composite fermions. Motivated by the se experimental results\, in this talk\, we will present an analysis of co mposite fermions that provides a roadmap to understanding Abelian FCIs in twisted bilayer MoTe2. The interplay between the moiré periodic potentials and the Chern-Simons gauge field gives rise to a fractal Hofstadter spect rum of composite fermions characterized a complex structure of incompressi ble states and topological bands. Among these\, we identify both FCIs cons istent with the Jain hierarchy and new classes of FCIs whose transport pro perties differ from those of the Jain sequence. We also discuss the influe nce of the displacement field\, suppressing composite fermion gaps and ind ucing topological phase transitions.

The nanoSQUID-on-tip (nSOT) is a scanning superconducting quantum interference device fabricated directly on the ap ex of a pulled quartz tip\, enabling quantitative multimodal imaging at th e nanoscale and cryogenic temperatures. In this talk\, I will outline the nSOT’s working principle\, fabrication\, and readout schemes\, emphasizing its versatility as a probe of correlated quantum states. I will present t wo recent applications: imaging fractional Chern insulators in twisted MoT e₂ and a new approach to mapping transport regimes in dual-gated Bernal bi layer graphene. I will also highlight emerging directions that extend the nSOT’s capabilities\, demonstrating its potential as a universal platform for exploring quantum matter and mesoscopic electrodynamics.Zoom recording DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251121T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251121T133000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251121T230030Z LOCATION:PAB B421 SUMMARY:: Imaging Quantum and Mesoscopic Phenomena with NanoSQUID on Tip Mi croscopy TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-11-21/imaging-quantum-and-mesos copic-phenomena-nanosquid-tip-microscopy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:26605699-e228-4fbe-beb5-0468dcfed30b DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251117T230411Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brandon Iritani\, Columbia University\n\nThe straightf orward molecular structure\, insensitivity to external fields\, and existe nce of narrow optical transitions in Sr2 make it an attractive platform fo r a molecular clock. Additionally\, it possesses an array of clock transit ions in the elusive THz frequency range and offers the capability to perfo rm precise tests of quantum chemistry. Previously\, we characterized the t otal fractional systematic uncertainty for a vibrational transition in 88S r₂ to less than 5×10⁻¹⁴. Looking ahead\, we plan to utilize a novel techni que to constrain gravity-like Yukawa forces by comparing molecular isotope shift measurements to state-of-the-art quantum chemistry calculations. Th is approach relies on the existence of several bosonic Sr isotopes and on a ground-state molecular energy structure that is feasible\, though challe nging\, to describe theoretically.  In this talk\, I will discuss our prog ress toward producing 86Sr₂ at ultracold temperatures\, including efforts to address isotope shifts for cooling and trapping atoms\, as well as phot oassociating the molecules.

Phase transitions in which local atomic states develop spontaneous high rank multipole order p rovides a particularly rich arena for new insights. A key element in the s tudy of such systems is the ability to couple to the associated order para meter. At its heart\, this colloquium will be about symmetry and thermodyn amics.I will describe how one can couple to a variety of different multipo lar states\, motivating new methodologies to measure a fundamental thermod ynamic material property\, the multipole susceptibility. One can also iden tify effective transverse fields\, which\, when applied inside the ordered state\, induce quantum fluctuations and can drive a multipolar quantum ph ase transition. I will explain the very special roles that strain can play for each of the cases\, and will outline new experimental approaches in w hich the materials 'feel the strain' in different ways.Even while we manip ulate the crystal lattice to tune electronic order\, hyperfine interaction s are not always completely innocent. Along the way I will introduce the s pecial case of an electro-nuclear quantum phase transition.And finally\, t he confluence of new measurement techniques and new materials also leads t o possibilities for new applications\; I will briefly outline one such app lication\, based on a giant elastocaloric effect. Multipolar order\, it wo uld seem\, is not only interesting from a fundamental perspective\, but ca n also be useful. Video Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251201T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251202T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T182152Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: High rank multipole order feeling the strain TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-12-01/high-rank-multipole-order -feeling-strain END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:22169a1d-c4f9-4279-9091-0c0f59682e4e DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251201T182003Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tom Magorsch - Technical University of Munich\n\nThis talk is featured as part of INT Program 25-3b\, 'Open Quantum Systems: Dis sipative Dynamics from Quarks to the Cosmos'.The speaker will give this ta lk in-person in room PAT C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times\ , and general program information\, please visit the 25-3b webpage.Please contact intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

One of these pha ses\, electronic nematic order\, arises when correlated electrons spontane ously break the rotational symmetry of a crystal lattice. When electronic nematic order couples bilinearly to symmetry-breaking lattice strain\, bot h appear together at a single ferroelastic phase transition\, producing st ructural twin domains with distinct orientations of the nematic director. While the effects of externally induced strain on these domains are well e stablished\, the intrinsic behavior of spontaneous subdomain strain fields has remained unexplored. In this talk\, I will present our discovery of s pontaneous mesoscopic strain waves within individual nematic domains of an iron-based superconductor\, observed using dark-field X-ray microscopy (D FXM). Using this novel full-field\, bulk-sensitive imaging technique\, we visualize subdomain strain modulations emerging concurrently with nematic order. Elastic compatibility relations governing inhomogeneous strains pro vide a natural mechanism for the strain waves. Our findings reveal a broad ly relevant form of strain self-organization and position DFXM as a powerf ul probe of the local interplay between lattice strain and electronic orde r.Zoom recording DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251202T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251202T163000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251203T021808Z LOCATION:PAB B421 SUMMARY:: Discovery of spontaneous mesoscopic strain waves in nematic domai ns using dark field X ray microscopy TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-12-02/discovery-spontaneous-mes oscopic-strain-waves-nematic-domains-using-dark-field-x END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:d886227d-b977-4242-8b8a-61f7783974a4 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251201T183712Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Balbeer Singh - University of South Dakota\n\nThis tal k is featured as part of INT Program 25-3b\, 'Open Quantum Systems: Dissip ative Dynamics from Quarks to the Cosmos'.The speaker will give this talk  in-person in room PAT C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times\, a nd general program information\, please visit the 25-3b webpage.Please con tact intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

In solids\, ultrafast light ha s emerged as a powerful tool to access hidden phases with exceptional spee ds. Yet in most cases\, photoinduced phases collapse back to equilibrium o nce the drive is removed\, limiting their utility. Here I introduce a path way to stabilize and control light‑induced phases by harnessing critical f luctuations. Using strong-field THz excitation in the van der Waals antife rromagnet FePS₃\, I generate a metastable magnetized state inaccessible in equilibrium via nonlinear driving of magnon-phonon hybrids. The lifetime of the metastable magnetization diverges around the Néel temperature\, rea ching an experimental maximum of 2.5 milliseconds. By extracting the criti cal exponents governing the metastable magnetization amplitude and relaxat ion time\, we develop a comprehensive picture of how fluctuations stabiliz e the metastable order.

I will introduce a new type of scanning probe microscope—the Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM)—which enables direct momentum-space imaging of electrons\, in close analogy to h ow a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes electronic states in real space. The QTM is based on a van-der-Waals (vdW) heterostructure on a tip\ , which\, when brought into contact with another vdW sample\, allows elect rons to tunnel quantum coherently. This configuration turns the tip into a scanning electronic interferometer. By adding a controllable twist degree of freedom between tip and sample\, QTM becomes a local\, momentum-resolv ing scanning probe. In the first part of the talk\, I will show how the QT M can directly image phonon modes in twisted bilayer graphene\, providing momentum- and mode-resolved access to electron–phonon coupling. In the sec ond part\, I will present the first momentum-space image of the strongly i nteracting energy bands of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG)\, offering a direct visualization of its underlying correlated electronic st ructure.Zoom recording DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251208T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251208T120000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251208T210701Z LOCATION:Zoom SUMMARY:: The Quantum Twisting Microscope Image quantum matter in momentum space TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2025-12-08/quantum-twisting-microsco pe-image-quantum-matter-momentum-space END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:b39842d9-64d3-4b22-a3cf-665b1120bff1 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20251202T235916Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sarah Shandera - Pennsylvania State University\n\nThis talk is featured as part of INT Program 25-3b\, 'Open Quantum Systems: Di ssipative Dynamics from Quarks to the Cosmos'.The speaker will give this t alk in-person in room PAT C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times \, and general program information\, please visit the 25-3b webpage.Please contact intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

By using the scanning tunn eling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS)\, one can achieve such tasks and s tudy quantum materials with high spatial and energy resolution. Two-dimens ional van der Waals heterostructure provides a great platform to explore e xotic many-body states and study emergent phenomena. In this presentation\ , I will first show local spectroscopic studies on fractional quantum Hall states (FQHs) [1] and discuss the implications of fractionalization of el ectrons. In the second part\, we demonstrate directly imaging the field-in duced Wigner crystal [2] and the melting transition of these electron crys tals as a function of electron densities. Interestingly\, the crystal can melt into a FQH liquid and re-enter the crystalline phase. We will also di scuss various types of Wigner crystals that emerge in the zeroth Landau le vel. In the last part of the presentation\, I will present spectroscopic a nd imaging studies of strongly interacting Hofstadter’s states when subjec ted to a moiré potential by hBN alignment. We will analyze the symmetry br eaking patterns of these topological states and visualize their melting tr ansitions.

In this talk\, I will focus on transport effects associated wi th the chiral anomaly\, a subtle quantum-mechanical effect\, in two settin gs at widely separated scales: the relativistic fluid dynamics of the quar k–gluon plasma and the transient electron dynamics of chiral semiconductor s. In the context of the quark-gluon plasma\, fundamental relativistic and thermodynamic principles imply constraints on anomalous transport coeffic ients\, yielding the first causal and stable theory of viscous chiral hydr odynamics. In photoexcited quantum materials\, a magneto-chiral current ca n drive a dynamical instability recently observed in photoexcited telluriu m. This instability is closely related to the chiral magnetic instability of high-energy plasmas\, but with essential involvement of impurity degree s of freedom. These examples underscore how high-energy and condensed-matt er systems act as complementary arenas for exploring nonequilibrium quantu m transport.

Howev er\, in many strongly correlated two-dimensional electron systems\, conven tional tunneling measurements are often either not feasible or are easily distorted. I will describe a time-domain tunneling technique that uses mil lions of short voltage pulses and measurements of the resulting charge res ponse to construct precise tunneling spectra\, even in electrically insula ting phases. Applied to 2D electron systems\, this method yields the singl e-particle spectral function\, providing access to the energies\, momenta\ , and lifetimes of electronic states. Using this approach\, we have discov ered a novel spectral feature that reflects the vibrational modes of an el ectronic Wigner crystal and have determined the spin polarization of the s trongly correlated 2D electron system.Video Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260112T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T182142Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: Time Domain Tunneling Spectroscopy of Two Dimensional Electron Sy stems TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-01-12/time-domain-tunneling-spe ctroscopy-two-dimensional-electron-systems END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:c86dbd3c-a6c1-484f-92fe-f913dbfca56f DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260108T185328Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gabriele Montefalcone\, University of Texas at Austin \n\nThe cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a unique window onto fu ndamental physics\, allowing us to study particles and interactions that a re otherwise extremely difficult to probe in laboratory experiments. One i mportant example is the cosmic neutrino background\, which influences the evolution of the early Universe\, primarily through gravity despite intera cting only very weakly with ordinary matter.In this talk\, I will discuss how the free-streaming nature of neutrinos is expected to leave a subtle b ut distinctive imprint on the CMB by inducing a phase-shift in the acousti c oscillations of the photon–baryon plasma prior to recombination\, provid ing a clean and robust probe of neutrino physics. I will present a framewo rk to extract this effect directly from CMB observations\, and show that c urrent data from Planck\, ACT\, and SPT detect it with high significance\, consistent with the Standard Model prediction of three free-streaming neu trino species.I will then discuss how the same measurement can be used to test beyond standard model scenarios in which neutrinos interact more stro ngly\, delaying their decoupling from the primordial plasma. By directly r elating the observed phase shift to neutrino interactions\, cosmological d ata can place competitive constraints on new neutrino physics using this s ingle\, well-understood observable and without the need for dedicated mode l-dependent analyses.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260114T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260108T185501Z LOCATION:PAT C-421 SUMMARY:: Learning Fundamental Physics from Cosmological Probes Neutrinos a nd the Cosmic Microwave Background TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-01-13/learning-fundamental-phys ics-cosmological-probes-neutrinos-and-cosmic-microwave END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:b3951e13-16c7-4a9c-abcd-db30386a79ac DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Conferences\, Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260106T063530Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: 16 speakers\n\nSee the workshop web page for schedule and more details.

The main limitati on of this method is that it applies only to twistorial theories rather th an to QCD\, the theory relevant at hadron colliders. In this talk\, I will nonetheless show how the CA bootstrap can still help in the computation o f certain two-loop QCD amplitudes. I will begin by reviewing the basics of twistorial theories and the CA bootstrap. I will then explain some conseq uences that these twistorial theories have on one- and two-loop gauge-theo ry amplitudes. Finally\, I will show that the two-loop all-plus-helicity n -gluon amplitude of QCD is given by CA bootstrap results and lower-loop am plitudes\, circumventing the need to compute any two-loop integrals.

In this talk\, I will demonstrate that the axiverse naturally resolves these tensions: the QCD axion emerges as a linear combination of multiple axion -like fields\, evading the overclosure problem thanks to new dissipation c hannels\, while introducing additional Peccei-Quinn symmetries that ensure a high quality QCD axion. We illustrate these points in a toy model with two axions.

Here we will describe the development of quantum computing with reco nfigurable arrays of neutral atoms and their use for quantum processing wi th logical qubits. Quantum processing in this approach is based on the coh erent transport of atoms shuttled by optical tweezers\, enabling any-to-an y connectivity\, high-fidelity programmable logic\, and mid-circuit proces sing within a zoned architecture. Logical qubit processing is greatly faci litated by parallel control and transversal operations\, and is used for e xperiments ranging from entangling logical qubits to their use for precise simulation of quantum scrambling. Core physical mechanisms for achieving deep-circuit\, universal algorithms with logical qubits are identified\, a nd these are leveraged into new techniques that greatly reduce overheads f or large-scale computation. These results\, alongside other recent advance s\, herald a transition to error-corrected quantum processing\, establishi ng foundations that can enable future large-scale quantum computers and th eir useful applications.Biosketch:Dolev Bluvstein is a new faculty member in physics at the California Institute of Technology\, working at the fore front of quantum information science. His research focuses on scalable qua ntum computing and quantum simulation using programmable arrays of neutral atoms\, with an emphasis on high-fidelity control and quantum error corre ction. He has played a leading role in advancing neutral-atom platforms fr om fundamental many-body experiments to demonstrations of error-corrected quantum algorithms\, and is widely regarded as one of the most promising y oung researchers driving the development of next-generation quantum proces sors.

Standard projective measurements\, such as the measurement of an exc ited state energy (with respect to the groundstate) by coupling a quantum system to a photon and then detecting the photon absorption\, are maximall y disruptive since they project the initial state of the system into an ei genstate of the measured observable.  By contrast\, so-called weak measure ments provide an observer with little information and\, in turn\, disrupt the quantum state very little.  Also\, known as 'unsharp'\, 'fuzzy' or 'ge ntle'\, such measurements have been considered in the context of measuring the quantum trajectory of a system using weak continuous measurements [Re v. Mod. Phys. 82\, 1155 (2010)]. One scheme for implementing unsharp measu rements is to first entangle a target quantum system with an ancillary qua ntum system and then carry out a measurement on the ancilla.  By adjusting the degree of entanglement\, the sharpness of the measurement on the targ et system can be controlled. In this talk\, we explore how tunable positio n-entangled quantum states of atoms can be used to realize tunable quantum measurements.  Entangled states of atomic pairs are created by Feshbach r esonance coupling and measurements of the ancilla are conducted either by ancilla selective scattering of single photons or by hard collisional loca lization of the ancilla by the scattering of room-temperature atoms in the background vapor of the apparatus.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260219T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260220T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260212T011039Z LOCATION:PAT C520 SUMMARY:: Tuning the sharpness of quantum measurements using position entan gled atomic states TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-02-19/tuning-sharpness-quantum- measurements-using-position-entangled-atomic-states END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:042ad336-135f-49ec-a46c-a487c9f1c1a7 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260219T194512Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hersh Singh\, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory\n \nAbstract: Why does the observable universe contain almost no antimatter?

In the long-wavelength limit their solutions approach those of free quantum field theories\, and can describe both bosons and fermions. QCAs with time-reversal symmetry will exhibit b oth positive and negative energy solutions\, which are not distinguishable from each other in a finite region. This implies that a localized interac tion between two QCAs will generally allow negative-energy solutions of th e free theories to be excited\, even if the initial state includes only po sitive-energy components\, possibly leading to a cascade of particle pair creation. This coupling to negative-energy states cannot be eliminated for interactions with finite range\; however\, increasing the range of the in teraction can make it possible to suppress this coupling exponentially\, t o the point where it is effectively zero.

The SIT is a fundamental quantu m phase transition governed by quantum\, rather than thermal\, fluctuation s. On the superconducting side of the transition\, the phase of the local order parameter serves as the good quantum number\, enabling Cooper pairs to flow without resistance. On the insulating side\, the conjugate variabl e — charge — becomes the good quantum number\, and vortices flow freely. S uperconducting qubits are circuits with one degree of freedom that similar ly exhibit regimes where either charge or phase is a good quantum number. Just as charge–phase duality underlies the SIT\, it also lies at the core of superconducting qubits\, giving rise to dual architectures such as the transmon and the blochnium qubit. This talk will show efforts to engineer qubits from materials tuned near their SIT\, where nanoscale weak links na turally emerge and provide the nonlinearity required for qubits—demonstrat ed here in devices built from a single film of niobium nitride. Finally\, I will discuss how these same junctions\, that are the building blocks of superconducting qubits\, can be fabricated into networks to serve as a ste ppingstone to realize solid-state quantum simulators and study interacting many-body systems such as the Hubbard model.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260305T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260305T123000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260304T194315Z LOCATION:PAT C520 SUMMARY:: New Josephson junctions for solid state qubits and quantum simula tors TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-03-05/new-josephson-junctions-s olid-state-qubits-and-quantum-simulators END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:c8032a7e-c81f-493e-a9bc-e2d4aed0126d DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260224T225307Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Judy Bridges\, UW CoMotion\n\nPhysics research often g enerates not just new ideas but also new intellectual property (IP).  Howe ver\, group leaders in Physics can often use guidance  on best practices f or IP issues and\, while some physics graduate students will continue in b asic research\, the majority will move to applied work or to closely conne cted fields in the commercial sector.  In these latter career paths\, an u nderstanding of intellectual property (IP) and its commercialization is of ten centrally important.  The purpose of this talk is to give an initial o verview of IP put into the context of UW’s support for the declaration and commercialization of IP developed at the UW.UW’s CoMotion office is here to help you bring your innovations to impact.   We partner with UW researc hers to enable the transition of fundamental discoveries to into real-worl d products by providing you support across the commercialization pathway.  This includes IP strategy (patents\, copyright\, software\, know-how)\, c ustomer development\, training\, funding\, mentorship\, and startup incuba tion. In this presentation\, I’ll survey the role of CoMotion and discuss the different ways that Physicists curious about commercialization can gai n more information\, including:Idea to Plan and NSF Regional ICORPS to val idate customer need\, the UW’s  Innovation Gap Fund to further commercial development of the technology\, guidance for federal funding such as SBIR\ , CoMotion’s Plan to Launch workshop for getting ready for startup company launch\, and CoMotion Labs for incubation of your startup.  With more tha n 300 startup companies to date and a strong record of supporting ventures of all kinds\, CoMotion offers the infrastructure\, expertise\, and commu nity needed to move cutting edge innovations from lab to marketplace.    DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260305T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260224T225606Z LOCATION:PAT C520 SUMMARY:: An Introduction to Intellectual Property and Commercialization at UW CoMotion TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-03-05/introduction-intellectual -property-and-commercialization-uw-comotion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:89000f5a-a6ae-4cc4-9a40-ccab2c549c9d DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Colloquia CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260227T191130Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lev Ioffe\, Google\n\nI will briefly review the main f eatures and capabilities of Google superconducting platform and its use fo r quantum simulations. In the main part of the talk I will focus on our re cent study of the disorder driven transition in boson systems.Generally\,  disorder in quantum many-body systems can drive transitions between ergod ic and non-ergodic phases\, yet the nature---and even the existence---of t hese transitions remains intensely debated. Using a two-dimensional array of superconducting qubits\, we study an interacting spin model at finite t emperature in a disordered landscape\, tracking dynamics both in real spac e and in Hilbert space. Over a broad disorder range\, we observe an interm ediate non-ergodic regime with glass-like characteristics: physical observ ables become broadly distributed and some\, but not all\, degrees of freed om are effectively frozen. The Hilbert-space return probability shows slow power-law decay\, consistent with finite-temperature quantum glassiness. In the same regime\, we detect the onset of a finite Edwards-Anderson orde r parameter and the disappearance of spin diffusion. By contrast\, at lowe r disorder\, spin transport persists with a nonzero diffusion coefficient. We furthermore track wavefunction statistics across the critical point\, showing an evolution from the Porter-Thomas distribution in the ergodic ph ase to power-law scaling in the glassy phase. Our results show that there is a transition out of the ergodic phase in two-dimensional systems that d oes not coincide with the full localization transition. Video Link (requir es UW NetID)  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260310T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T215015Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: Visualizing quantum dynamics with superconducting qubits quantum glass formation at high temperatures TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-03-09/visualizing-quantum-dynam ics-superconducting-qubits-quantum-glass-formation-high END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:68b3a22f-0c11-474a-ad39-92d3c7c1c868 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260224T215402Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stephen Jordan\, Google Quantum AI\n\nAchieving superp olynomial speedups for optimization has long been a central goal for quant um algorithms. I will discuss Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI)\, a qua ntum algorithm descended from Regev’s reduction\, that uses the quantum Fo urier transform to reduce optimization problems to decoding problems. For approximating optimal polynomial fits over finite fields\, DQI achieves a superpolynomial speedup over known classical algorithms. The speedup arise s because the problem’s algebraic structure is reflected in the decoding p roblem\, which can be solved efficiently. Whether DQI can also attain quan tum advantage for algebraically unstructured optimization problems such as max-k-XORSAT remains an open question. One reason for optimism is that th e sparsity of the clause structure in max-k-XORSAT is reflected in the dua l decoding problem\, which is for LDPC codes.

In particular\, it has been noted that 21c m surveys can map sufficiently large volu¬mes at low-enough noise that the y become competitive probes of local primordial non-Gaussianity\, a signat ure of models of multi-field inflation\, by exploiting the 'scale-dependen t bias' effect of Dalal et al (2007). In this talk I will introduce a larg e-scale structure-based perspective on the 21cm signal and revisit its pot ential\, during the epoch of reionization\, in constraining the amplitude of local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG). I will argue there generically exists an epoch at which the linear bias of the 21cm field crosses zero\, independent of the precise astrophysics of reionization. This epoch implie s the 21cm radiation is a natural 'zero-bias tracer' in the sense of Casto rina et al (2018). The rest of this talk will focus on the prospect for re alizing zero-bias measurements\, focusing on the 'renormalized noise' term s sourced by higher-order bias in the effective field theory of large-scal e structure\, and how they may be mitigated. I will show that analyses whi ch can control for this noise and harness the full power of the signal can potentially unlock a 10-fold reduction in error bars\, even in the presen ce of large-scale cuts from foregrounds.

While electrostatic gating is a well-established met hod for manipulating 2DM\, achieving real-time control over interfacial pr operties remains a frontier in exploring 2DM physics and advanced quantum device technology. Current methods\, often reliant on scanning microscopes \, are limited in their application scope\, lacking the accessibility and scalability of electrostatic gating at the device level. In the first half of this seminar\, I will introduce an on-chip platform for 2DM with in si tu adjustable interfacial properties\, employing a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). This platform comprises compact\, precise\, and versatile d evices capable of voltage-controlled manipulation of 2DM\, including appro aching\, twisting\, and pressurizing actions. We demonstrate this technolo gy by creating synthetic topological singularities in the nonlinear optica l susceptibility of twisted hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN).In the second h alf of this seminar\, I will talk about our recent progress in observing s ymmetry-forbidden second-harmonic generation in almost any 2D crystals\, w hich is extremely useful for deterministic twistronics. Optical spectrosco py based on second-order nonlinearity is a critical technique for characte rizing two-dimensional (2D) crystals\, and it also finds numerous applicat ions in bioimaging and quantum optics. It has been generally believed that second-harmonic generation (SHG) in crystals with inversion centers (cent rosymmetric crystals)\, such as graphene and other bilayer 2D crystals\, i s negligible without externally breaking the symmetry via strong surface e ffects. However\, with a new ultra-sensitive detection technique\, we coul d circumvent the symmetry-imposed constraint and observe robust SHG in pri stine centrosymmetric crystals\, even without any symmetry-breaking field. With the exceptional sensitivity\, we directly observe polarization-resol ved SHG in bilayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)\, bilayer WSe2\, and rem arkably\, Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene\, allowing us to unambiguously i dentify the crystallographic orientation in all these crystals via SHG. We also demonstrate that the new technique can be used to non-invasively det ect uniaxial strain and geometric phase in these centrosymmetric crystals.

The protocol is defined in terms of a repeated cycle consi sting of p layers of unitary gates applied to the system and ancilla “bath ” qubits\, followed by reset of the bath qubits. The gate parameters withi n each cycle are optimized such that the steady state achieved after many cycles has a low energy expectation value with respect to the target Hamil tonian\, and that the energy converges toward the steady state value in as few cycles as possible. We illustrate the protocol for the transverse fie ld Ising model\, and study its systematic behaviors with respect to system size\, model parameters\, and noise using tensor network based classical simulations. We then experimentally demonstrate its operation on IBM’s ibm _kingston quantum processor for up to 28 system qubits coupled to 14 bath sites. Classical training on small system sizes and with few unitary layer s per cycle gives robust results that transfer well to larger system sizes and to noisy hardware.

This potential exhibits an approxima te C_6 symmetry\, minimal dependence on carrier density\, and a substantia l magnitude of ~60 mV even in the absence of carriers. Theory indicates th at this symmetry arises from a delicate interplay of physical mechanisms w ith competing symmetries. Intriguingly\, the measured magnitude significan tly exceeds theoretical predictions\, suggesting that current understandin g may be incomplete. With 1 nm spatial resolution and sensitivity to poten tials generated by only a few millionths of an electron’s charge\, the Ato mic SET enables ultrasensitive imaging of charge order and thermodynamic p roperties across a wide range of quantum phenomena\, including symmetry-br oken phases\, quantum crystals\, vortex charges\, and fractionalized quasi particles.Video Link (requires UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260414T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T232906Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: Imaging the Sub Moir Potential Landscape using an Atomic Single E lectron Transistor TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-04-13/imaging-sub-moir-potentia l-landscape-using-atomic-single-electron-transistor END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:7d160d77-c3b1-424c-b9c1-3a9dcbd47d46 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Colloquia CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260310T213814Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allan Macdonald\, University of Texas at Austin\n\nThe electronic properties of thin films of rhombohedral graphene encapsulated by hexagonal Boron nitride are amazingly rich\, with phase diagrams that break all the rules – including include superconductors that are also orbi tal and spin ferromagnets and quantum anomalous Hall states without any ma gnetic field.  But don’t panic – a rational solution exists.   I will disc uss the important role played in these properties by momentum space conden sation - an old idea that goes back to work by London and Heisenberg - and the quantum geometry of Bloch states - a new idea that has guided a great deal of condensed matter physics research over recent decades.  Some of t he advice in this guide in this guide may be unreliable. Video Link (requi res UW NetID) DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260420T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260421T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T232937Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: A Hitchhiker s Guide to Rhombohedral Graphene TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-04-20/hitchhiker-s-guide-rhombo hedral-graphene END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:cedee708-d581-4cbc-9be7-e11566527ead DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260420T191239Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cristhian Garcia-Quintero\, Center for Astrophysics\, Harvard & Smithsonian\n\nThe Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) h as recently completed its nominal five-year spectroscopic survey.

However\, the field of controlling chaos shows that chaotic classical systems can actually be ste ered efficiently using very small perturbations\, by harnessing their inst ability and ergodic behaviour . In direct analogy\, recent work has demons trated that localized quantum states can be transported along trajectories related to the classical dynamics of the system\, enabling fast and preci se quantum state control. This approach has been successfully applied both to single-particle quantum systems [1\,2] and to interacting bosonic syst ems described by the Bose–Hubbard model [3]. While interesting\, this appr oach is classical at its core and does not take advantage of quantum inter ference. However\, quantum chaos in general offers universal features\, na mely the exponential decay of the Loschmidt echo as well as the statistica l properties described by random matrix theory\, that replace the classica l notions of instability and ergodicity in the context of quantum systems (even in the absence of a classical limit). We argue that these features a re essential for full state controllability and allow the translation of c lassical chaos control to the quantum realm [4].[1] S. Tomsovic\, J. D.

Although these codes have shed new light on conceptua l aspects of these dualities\, they have widely been believed to lack a cr ucial feature of practical quantum error correction: The ability to suppor t universal fault-tolerant quantum logic. In this work\, we introduce a ne w class of holographic codes that realize this feature. These heterogeneou s holographic codes are constructed by combining two seed codes in a tenso r network on an alternating hyperbolic tiling. We show how this constructi on generalizes previous strategies for fault tolerance in tree-type concat enated codes\, allowing one to implement non-Clifford gates fault-tolerant ly on the holographic boundary. Compared to previous concatenated codes\, heterogeneous holographic codes achieve large overhead savings in physical qubits. We will also discuss recent progress on how holographic codes wit h addressable transversal gates can be built up.

These aperiodic crystals feature rotational symmetries that are mathematically forbidden in periodic crystals. In 1984\, Shechtman performed X-ray diffraction meas urements on a metallic alloy\, revealing 10-fold rotational symmetry in th e diffraction pattern\, which was thought to be impossible. This work even tually led to the redefinition of what constitutes a crystal\, and the rec ognition of the reality of aperiodic crystals. Shechtman was then awarded the 2011 Nobel prize in chemistry for the discovery of aperiodic crystals. In recent decades\, band structure and its interplay with topology have p rovided deep insight into intriguing behavior in periodic crystalline quan tum materials. However\, thirty years after the discovery of aperiodic cry stals\, the role of the energy spectrum and its interplay with topology is not well-understood for quasicrystals because standard theoretical method s used to study the energy spectrum of a crystal has relied on translation al symmetry. An experimental apparatus that can emulate the quantum physic s of quasicrystals would open a window into quasicrystalline “band structu re” and topology that is difficult to access with theoretical and analytic al methods alone. This talk will describe the design of such an apparatus\ , in which a quantum gas is confined within a 10-fold rotation-symmetric q uasiperiodic optical lattice and will mention planned first measurements.

By integrating AI into the data-analysi s\, data-generation\, and real-time decision-making processes of large\, c omplex scientific instruments\, researchers are opening new paths toward d iscoveries that were previously inaccessible. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, proton-proton collisions occur at unprecedented energies and rate s\, producing enormous volumes of data to probe the nature of space and ti me at the smallest scales. Professor Liu develops and applies AI methods t o advance studies of the Higgs boson and electroweak interactions using cu rrent and future LHC data. This talk will highlight opportunities and chal lenges in handling LHC data\, discuss paradigm-shifting strategies and inn ovative AI approaches for scientific discovery\, and explore synergistic d evelopments across science domains and beyond.Video Link (requires UW NetI D)  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260511T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260512T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T232640Z LOCATION:PAA A102 SUMMARY:: Probing the Void with AI Help TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-05-11/probing-void-ai-help END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:594b7944-bbb0-48b5-8764-a45ed9783a09 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:General Exams CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260414T221347Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260512T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260513T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260414T221454Z LOCATION:PAB B042 SUMMARY:: General Exam TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-05-12/general-exam END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:12620ae3-292f-4188-a1e3-00820aff9d81 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Workshops CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260506T155609Z DESCRIPTION:This one-week workshop that is part of the larger five-week pro gram\, 'Nuclear Hamiltonians for Advancing Nuclear Physics and Beyond'.The speakers will give these talks in-person in room PAT C-520.For the full l ist of speakers\, talk times\, and general program information\, please vi sit the 26-1 webpage.Please contact intmail[at]uw.edu if you have any ques tions.

The operative deg rees of freedom are in the valence band minima\, which feature strong corr elations and non-trivial quantum geometry. The first part of this talk wil l study a microscopic model of RMG. I will show that\, even without a moir e potential\, interactions spontaneously break continuous translation symm etry and time-reversal symmetry at the mean-field level to produce an elec tron crystal with finite Chern number. Such a state is called an anomalous Hall crystal. Many-body numerics at fractional fillings then reveal fract ionalized ground states\, consistent with experiments. I will also show ho w metallic Wigner crystals form and naturally explain a puzzling pocket of hole carriers in experiments. The second part of the talk will introduce λ-jellium\, a minimal extension of the jellium model whose interaction str ength and Berry curvature are independently tunable. I will present eviden ce that it hosts an anomalous Hall crystal phase that is stable to quantum fluctuations.

I argue that\, at sufficiently long times or high energies\, most quantum systems approach a Maximal Entanglement Limit (MEL) in which phases of qu antum states become unobservable\, reduced density matrices acquire a ther mal form\, and probabilistic descriptions emerge without invoking ergodici ty or classical randomness. Within this framework\, the emergence of the p robabilistic parton model\, thermalization in the break-up of confining st rings and in high-energy collisions\, and the universal small x behavior o f structure functions arise as direct consequences of entanglement and geo metry of high-dimensional Hilbert space.

Observing this background is challen ging due to the weakness of the signal and the simultaneous presence of an astrophysical background generated by many unresolved late-time sources. One possible way to distinguish between the two is to examine their anisot ropies.In this talk\, I present two works on the study of gravitational wa ve anisotropies in the cosmological background arising from axion inflatio n\, where the inflaton is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson coupled to gauge fields. In this scenario\, tensor modes arise not only from the standard a mplification of vacuum fluctuations present in any inflationary model\, bu t also from the inverse decay process of the produced gauge fields. In the first work\, I study the cross-correlation between gravitational wave ani sotropies and CMB anisotropies\, which arises because scalar and tensor pe rturbations share a common origin in this model. This correlation is quant ified by the normalized primordial correlator between the curvature pertur bation and the gravitational wave energy density and turns out to be of th e order of 10^(-4)-10^(-2). The observability of this result depends on th e amplitude of the anisotropies in the gravitational wave spectrum\, encod ed in the normalized correlator of the gravitational wave energy densities \, which is the subject of the second work. This correlator can reach valu es of the order of 10^(-1)\, showing that axion inflation can indeed gener ate large anisotropies with the potential to be observed by gravitational wave detectors within a reasonable time frame.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260526T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260527T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T183649Z LOCATION:PAT C421 SUMMARY:: Gravitational wave anisotropies from axion inflation TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-05-26/gravitational-wave-anisot ropies-axion-inflation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:627a9551-33ff-4832-8f1a-f045641cc49d DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260519T173132Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sebastian König - NC State University\n\nThis talk is featured as part of INT Program 26-1\, 'Nuclear Hamiltonians for Advancing Nuclear Physics and Beyond'.The speaker will give this talk in-person in room PAT C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times\, and general pr ogram information\, please visit the 26-1 webpage.Please contact intmail[a t]uw.edu if you have any questions.

We have developed an approach to growing thin crystals of predefined geom etry between atomically flat van der Waals (vdW) materials. This is achiev ed by injecting molten material into silica molds lined by vdW materials. Following this approach\, we can directly produce ultraflat single crystal s of bismuth\, tin\, indium\, lead\, and tellurium in various geometries\, including hall bars and nanowires\, that are fully encapsulated within a vdW material. The combination of geometric control\, confinement\, low dis order\, and oxidation protection unlocks a new regime for single-crystal q uantum devices. This approach provides a path to unlocking the transport p hysics of two-dimensional bismuth\, a predicted room-temperature topologic al insulator. I will also discuss how this approach can be extended to rea lize unique heterostructures of vdW and non-vdW materials\, such as superc onducting junctions\, or to trap molecules and atoms for quantum sensing.T ime permitting\, I will also discuss how driven electrons in graphene can be used to generate and detect terahertz sound waves via an acoustic analo g of Cerenkov radiation. Exceptional electronic transport and quantum osci llations in thin bismuth crystals grown inside van der Waals materialsChen et. al. Nature Materials 2024Van der Waals injection-molded crystalsTran et. al. npj 2D Materials and Applications 2025Electrically driven amplific ation of terahertz acoustic waves in grapheneBarajas-Aguilar et. al. Natur e Communications 2024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260527T101500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260527T111500 LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T180836Z LOCATION:PAB B421 SUMMARY:: Growing crystals inside van der Waals materials TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-05-27/growing-crystals-inside-v an-der-waals-materials END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:e61c66b9-45cb-49b0-ade5-7c763de5f945 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260519T173354Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cullen Gantenberg - University of Washington\n\nThis t alk is featured as part of INT Program 26-1\, 'Nuclear Hamiltonians for Ad vancing Nuclear Physics and Beyond'.The speaker will give this talk in-per son in room PAT C-421.For the full list of speakers\, talk times\, and gen eral program information\, please visit the 26-1 webpage.Please contact in tmail[at]uw.edu if you have any questions.

In 1T-TiSe₂\, whether the CDW spontaneously breaks mirror and inversion symmetries to form a chiral stat e has remained controversial\, with previous experiments reporting conflic ting results. We resolve this controversy by identifying the bulk broken s ymmetry as ferroaxial: vertical mirrors are broken while inversion is pres erved. Symmetry-resolved elastoresistivity reveals off-diagonal coefficien ts forbidden in both the high-temperature phase and the widely accepted tr iple-Q CDW state\, providing direct evidence that mirror symmetries are br oken below T_CDW ~ 200 K while inversion is retained. The diagonal coeffic ients show a divergent nematic susceptibility only at a much lower tempera ture\, T_nem ~ 165 K\, establishing that nematic order is not responsible for the mirror symmetry breaking near T_CDW. Elastocaloric measurements re solve two successive transitions: a primary CDW onset and a secondary tran sition approximately 7 K below\, consistent with the condensation of a sec ondary CDW mode required to produce ferroaxial order. Together\, these dat a establish a hierarchy of symmetry-breaking transitions in which the prim ary CDW is followed by a ferroaxial instability\, which in turn acts as th e parent state for a secondary nematic instability. The proposed 'chiral' CDW in 1T-TiSe₂ is thus a centrosymmetric ferroaxial state\, reconciling p revious surface-sensitive observations with bulk symmetry constraints.

In this talk\, I will present the discovery\, characterization\, and modeling of Milky Way stellar streams. I will also present the first compa rative studies of stream populations in observations and cosmological simu lations\, which have revealed inconsistencies in orbital parameters and di sruption rates\, as well as a wealth of potentially yet-to-be-detected ste llar streams.

As in the case of qubit-based technologies\, we anticipate magic state distillation (MSD) protocols on q udits to facilitate universal computations more robust to hardware noise. Thus far\, error correction on qudits has been held back by demands for di mensions and/or volumes far beyond current experimental reach. New quantum codes inspired by classical\, algebraic geometry codes are developing rap idly and show great promise in reducing costs of MSD on qudits.

Fundamentally\, all these phases emerge from magnetic and e lectronic correlations at elevated temperatures associated with excess mag netic entropy and short electron-electron correlation lengths. To study th is regime\, a clear hierarchy of interaction length\, sample size and mome ntum relaxation length needs to be achieved\, each separated by at least a n order of magnitude. To this end\, I introduce cryogenic shock exfoliatio n that produces the metastable RMG stock on a large scale\, as well as new fabrication methods in order to reliably fabricate RMG nanoelectronics th at satisfy mobility and size requirements.In these improved devices\, I un cover a fluctuating moment regime with excess entropy of ΔS ≈ k_B per carr ier above the ordering temperatures – a signature of local moments entirel y unexpected in an itinerant metal such as RMG. At first-order phase bound aries between competing isospin-polarized states\, this entropy drives an isospin Pomeranchuk effect – leading to order with increasing temperature. Scanning nanoSQUID-on-tip magnetometry of current flow in RMG reveals tha t electrons at these temperatures behave like a liquid\, and the charge tr ansport is governed by the Gurzhi effect. This places RMG into the semi-qu antum liquid regime where strong electron hydrodynamics appears at the sca le of the Fermi wavelength equal to the isospin correlation length. Lastly \, by increasing the device size\, I demonstrate a crossover from Poiseuil le to porous electron flow where the liquid is effectively no longer const rained by the sample boundaries.  DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260611T003000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260611T013000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T181138Z LOCATION:PAB B421 SUMMARY:: Fluctuating electron liquids in ultra high mobility rhombohedral graphene nanoelectronics TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-06-11/fluctuating-electron-liqu ids-ultra-high-mobility-rhombohedral-graphene END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:b2944499-2c59-4d5a-baaa-efcad4af2acd DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Ceremonies\, Special Events\, Student Activities CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260309T220959Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Department of Physics 2025-26 Graduating Class and Dep artment Members\n\nThe Physics Department holds an annual Graduation Celeb ration for their students who graduatedbetween autumn 2025 – summer 2026 w ith UW-Seattle Physics bachelor’s\, professional master’s\,or doctoral deg rees.A livestream for this event can be accessed here: https://washington. zoom.us/j/98373188613.RSVPs are now closed.

Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is a robust\, scalable\, and open-source framework used worldwide to build distributed control systems for scienti fic and industrial facilities. EPICS integrates low-level hardware control lers and high-level applications\, allowing users to perform device contro l\, machine operation\, data acquisition\, and complex workflow execution. This presentation introduces the core components of the EPICS framework\, including Input/Output Controllers (IOCs)\, device supports\, Channel Acc ess (CA) and PV Access (PVA) protocols\, and user interfaces. The control system of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) is presented to demonstrate how an EPICS-based control system is constructed.

I n this talk\, I will highlight two examples of how first-principles calcul ations can reveal new functionalities in ferroelectric oxides. First\, I w ill discuss isolated magnetic dopants in ferroelectric oxides as a platfor m for electric-field control of single spins. Our density functional theor y (DFT) calculations reveal that a magnetic dopant’s magnetocrystalline an isotropy energy\, and hence its preferred spin orientation\, is highly tun able through changes to ferroelectric structural distortions. Second\, I w ill present our discovery of an unusual electric auxetic effect in several families of ferroelectric layered perovskites\, in which polarization inc reases under both longitudinal and transverse applied stress. This unconve ntional electromechanical behavior offers a pathway towards designing larg e hydrostatic piezoelectric responses\, which are of interest for underwat er sensing applications. I also will comment on some of our future researc h directions arising from these works.

In this talk\, I outline how we engineer and operate a trapped-ion platform at Duke as a re liable\, application-driven system\, and how we translate atomic-physics-l evel control into a software execution stack that automates scheduling\, m onitoring\, and calibration to enable reproducible experiments at scale. I n the next part\, I will focus on the digital regime\, where universal gat e sets enable programmable circuits and closed-loop hybrid quantum-classic al optimization under finite-shot constraints. This gate-based workflow su pports a broad range of applications on the same hardware. I will show how it enables (i) Hamiltonian learning\, including a symmetry-protected sign ature that isolates genuine three-body interactions even in the presence o f unknown lower-body terms\; (ii) molecular energy estimation using CAFQA- initialized variational quantum eigensolver\, reducing the amount of on-ha rdware variational tuning needed\; and (iii) quantum machine learning meth ods that leverage the structure of Hilbert space to learn useful represent ations from data.  Finally\, in contrast to the digital regime\, I discuss the analog regime\, where we program the device by engineering an effecti ve Hamiltonian and using the ions’ native interactions directly.   DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260716T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260716T133000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260714T000551Z LOCATION:PAB B421 SUMMARY:: From Laser Pulses to Algorithms Engineering Trapped Ion Quantum S ystems TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-07-16/laser-pulses-algorithms-e ngineering-trapped-ion-quantum-systems END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:9729370a-3104-45fc-a746-398e1c1dc43f DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:General Exams CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260715T222021Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260723T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260724T000000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260715T222146Z LOCATION:PAT C520 SUMMARY:: General Exam TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://phys.washington.edu/events/2026-07-23/general-exam END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1e59a976-acc3-43d1-aa78-b0a95efea238 DTSTAMP:20260718T161410Z CATEGORIES:Seminars CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260710T203533Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Caroline Rodenbeck\, Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK)\, Institute for Astroparticle Physics (IAP)\, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen\, Germany\n\nThe Karlsuhe Tri tium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN) is seeking to determine the neutrino mas s in a purely kinematic and therefore model-independent way. It does this by measuring the endpoint region of the molecular tritium beta decay spect rum. KATRIN sets the currently most stringent model-independent upper limi t on the neutrino mass\, at 0.45 eV (90 % CL).Important for KATRIN's succe ss is the careful characterization and mitigation of systematics. Particul arly important is the characterization of electron energy losses due to sc attering\, for which a pulsed photo-electron source is used\, providing ad ditional energy information via time-of-flight analysis. Additionally\, us ing 83mKr for an absolute calibration of the energy scale enables an impor tant cross-check of the results by comparing the Q-value result from KATRI N to the 3He-3H mass difference determined in Penning trap measurements.Af ter successful systematics mitigation and a full analysis of the available dataset\, KATRIN's final sensitivity is expected to reach below 0.3 eV. H owever\, very likely\, the neutrino mass value will remain out of reach fo r KATRIN's sensitivity and new experiments employing improved technology a re going to be necessary.One key improvement would be switching from a mol ecular to an atomic tritium source. Such a source can be constructed by tr apping mK-cold atoms in a magneticfield. Within the Karlsruhe Mainz Atomic Tritium Experiment (KAMATE)\, a collaboration of the TLK and the JGU Main z\, we are bench-marking different types of atomic dissociators and aim to demonstrate the primary cooling stages with tritium.The talk will summari ze the KATRIN results so far\, as well as highlight efforts to mitigate sy stematics of the KATRIN setup. It will also touch on some of the work done in the context of KAMATE.

Despite their ce ntral importance\, characterizing new types of superconductors is still a difficult task: all superconductors have zero resistance\, but their more subtle properties related to entanglement and topology are hard to probe e xperimentally. I will introduce chiral topological superconductors in two dimensions - a type of superconductivity with a 'knot' in the superconduct ing wave function. These superconductors can host Majorana edge modes and bound states in their vortex cores\, but finding a real-life example has p roven challenging. I will show how we use ultrasound - deforming a crystal line lattice in a manner not unlike how gravity waves deform spacetime - t o test whether a particular superconductor has the 'right ingredients' to be a 2D topological superconductor. I will present the progress we have ma de thus far - ruling out many proposed candidate materials and discovering an unexpected new type of superconductivity along the way. Most recently\ , this has led us to the discovery of a multi-component superconducting st ate in UTe2 under hydrostatic pressure - a state that may indeed be topolo gical. Finally\, I will give a prognosis for what I think the most promisi ng route is for discovering a 2D topological superconductor.
