The MCQST Colloquium Series features interdisciplinary talks given by visiting international speakers. The monthly colloquium covers topics spanning all MCQST research units and will be broadcast live via Zoom for audiences worldwide. The main goal of the series is to create the framework for idea exchange, to strengthen links with QST leading groups worldwide, as well as to act as an integral part of the local educational environment.

MCQST Colloquium: Per Delsing

We are excited to invite you to the colloquium talk by Per Delsing (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden).

Agenda

14:00 | Teaser talk by TBA on "TBA"

14:15 | Coffee break

14:30 | Colloquium talk by Per Delsing on “Artificial atoms coupling to light and sound”

Artificial atoms coupling to light and sound

Superconducting circuits can be used as artificial atoms and we will discuss how they can be used to study new physics. Specifically, I will show how artificial atoms can be used to study vacuum fluctuations by placing the atom in front of a mirror. I will also show how these atoms can be connected to sound so that they decay by emitting individual phonons instead of individual photons. Sound-coupled atoms can also function as giant atoms, leading to new physics like non-exponential relaxation.
