Please join us for this week’s AMO/QI seminar. We begin our graduate student exchange program with Stanford with a talk by Lukas Palm, titled: Degenerate Multimode Cavities for Topological Quantum Optics with Rydberg Polaritons

Then, our invited speaker Dr. Ania Bleszynski Jayich, UCSB, will give her talk, Quantum Sensing and Imaging with Diamond Spins

Abstract:
Solid state spin qubits, in particular the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond, offer a path towards truly nanoscale imaging of condensed matter and biological systems with sensitivity to single nuclear spins.  Here I discuss our NV-based magnetic imaging experiments as applied to condensed matter systems, where we have imaged current flow patterns in graphene in order to reveal the transition from ohmic to electron-collision-dominated flow regimes. I will also discuss our progress towards improving the sensitivity and spatial resolution of NV-based sensing. In particular, I will present our efforts towards realizing entanglement-enhanced solid-state spin sensors and various many-body effects that can be realized in a strongly interacting spin ensembles.
