Уважаемые коллеги!

В пятницу 28 апреля в 11:30 состоится коллоквиум, на котором будет
заслушан доклад:

И. Иорш (ИТМО&МФТИ)
*Квантовая электродинамика в резонаторах и волноводах: фотон-фотонные
корреляции и режим ультрасильной связи света с веществом.*

За последнее десятилетие прогресс в нанотехнологиях позволил создавать
упорядоченные массивы двухуровневых систем (холодные атомы,
полупроводниковые квантовые точки, сверхпроводниковые кубиты),
интегрированные с фотонными структурами: резонаторами, фотонными
кристаллами и волноводами. Фотонные структуры позволяют как существенно
усилить взаимодействие света с отдельными двухуровневыми системами, так
и модифицировать эффективное взаимодействие между двухуровневыми
системами, возникающее за счет обмена фотонами.
В докладе будут представлен краткий обзор явлений, возникающих в
подобных структурах: коллективное сверх- и субизлучение в массивах
двухуровневых систем, возникновение многофотонных корреляций в
рассеянном свете, а также модификация основного состояния за счет
взаимодействия с вакуумными флуктуациями электромагнитного поля в таких
структурах.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих
трансляций докладов на Ученом совете:
