RIFLESSIONE APERTA DAL DIPARTIMENTO DI FISICA

Siamo addolorate ed arrabbiate per gli ennesimi casi di femminicidio di Ilaria Sula e Sara Campanella che sono emersi la scorsa settimana. Questi fatti avvengono a poco più di un anno di distanza dal femminicidio, così tragicamente simile, di Giulia Cecchettin, che tanto ha scosso l’opinione pubblica. Le parole e la posizione ferma della famiglia di Giulia Cecchettin sono rimaste impresse nella nostra memoria perché hanno fornito a tutte e tutti delle categorie mentali efficaci per comprendere ciò che era successo.… Read the rest

Un segno contro la violenza di genere – 26 novembre ore 13.00

Nel Novembre dello scorso anno ci siamo incontrate e incontrati per ricordare insieme, rumorosamente, il femminicidio di Giulia Cecchettin. L’iniziativa è nata spontaneamente per rispondere allo smarrimento di tante di noi, toccate dalla vicinanza dell’esperienza di Giulia, studentessa universitaria (peraltro, in ambito scientifico) come noi siamo state o siamo. È servita però anche ad aprire una discussione sul tema della violenza di genere all’interno agli spazi che viviamo quotidianamente, come lavoratrici e studentesse del dipartimento e degli enti di ricerca che vi sono ospitati.

Title Quantum metrology of noisy boson systems

Abstract

We present a general recipe for deriving bounds on the precision metrology of noisy boson channels, treating both energy and total time as resources. We apply it to a series of examples with both Hamiltonian parameter estimation (frequency, displacement, squeezing) and noise parameter estimation (damping constants and temperature), explaining the relationship between different models in a common framework.… Read the rest

Title: Quasi-one dimensional dipolar bosonic systems: from gas to droplet formation

Speaker: Stefania De Palo, Researcher, IOM-CNR

Date & Room: April 4th, h. 15.00 -Sala lauree

Abstract

We study a tightly trapped one-dimensional dipolar gas of bosonic atoms for which we derive the equation of state using a variational approximation based on the Lieb-Liniger gas Bethe ansatz wave function. We test our results by computing the breathing mode after solving the stationary generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, finding very good agreement with experiments.… Read the rest

Title Non-Hermitian topological amplification

Abstract

Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians enable novel topological phases of matter, characterized by unique kinds of degeneracies and extreme sensitivity to changes of boundary conditions—the so-called NH skin effect. Many aspects of NH topological phases are not yet fully understood. As an example, the NH skin effect blurs the separation between edge and bulk states, which determines the breakdown of the bulk-boundary correspondence.… Read the rest

Waveguide QED with Quadratic Light-Matter Interactions

Abstract
Quadratic light-matter interactions are nonlinear couplings such that quantum emitters interact with photonic or phononic modes exclusively via the exchange of excitation pairs. Implementable with atomic and solid-state systems, these couplings lead to a plethora of phenomena that have been characterized in the context of cavity QED, where quantum emitters interact with localized bosonic modes.

Seminar by Paola Verrucchi, Monday April 19 at 3 pm

There is only one time

We draw a picture of physical systems that allows us to recognize what “time” is by requiring consistency with the way that time enters the fundamental laws of Physics. Elements of the picture are two non-interacting and yet entangled quantum systems, one of which acting as a clock. In this setting, employing the Page and Wootters mechanism with tools from large-N quantum approaches, we show that there is not a “quantum time”, possibly opposed to a “classical” one; there is only one time, and it is a manifestation of entanglement.… Read the rest

September 18-20, 2017
Venue University of Rome “La Sapienza” Physics Department, Marconi building I floor
Website
A challenging frontier in statistical physics concerns systems with a small number N of degrees of freedom, far from the thermodynamic limit: such an interest is motivated by the recent increase of resolution in the observation and in the manipulation of the micro-nano world. The peculiar feature of small systems is the relevance of fluctuations, which cannot be neglected.… Read the rest

ISC meeting – Diffusion Processes

in Events, News

An ISC-meeting on diffusion processes took place in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence) on Sept. 27th and 28th.
It was the occasion to highlight the variety of ISC research fields where diffusion plays a relevant role:

If brownian motion has been a milestone to understand the atomistic nature of matter, diffusion processes are so widespread because diffusion is one of the main “way of transport”, as we learn from the kinetic theory.… Read the rest
