ITAMP/HQOC Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar
Wednesday, December 13, 2017
4:15 PM, Jefferson 250
Prof. Andrea Cavalleri, Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter,
Hamburg GERMANY Department of Physics, University of Oxford
“Nonlinear THz optics as probe of quantum solids”
In this lecture, I will discuss how coherent electromagnetic radiation at infrared and
TeraHertz frequencies can be used to collective excitations like phonons in solids. I will
emphasize experiments in which hidden features the superconducting order parameter can be
revealed. I will also discuss advances in the nonlinear response of phonons, which I will
show can be used as a probe of the interatomic potential of a solid.
Guest Presentation will begin at 4:30 PM
Refreshments will be provided.
Thank you,
