THE PHYSICS GRADUATE PROGRAM invites everyone to the seminar:

Philip Walther is a Professor and Vice Dean at the University of Vienna. His research group is dedicated to quantum information experiments and one of the leaders in photonic quantum computing.

  Quantum photonics for quantum causality 

Abstract:

The advantages of the photons make optical quantum systems ideally suited for quantum foundations experiments and for a variety of quantum information applications. Here I will present new experimental insights into concepts that superimpose the order of quantum operations and its exploit for novel quantum technology applications. I will also present experiments that demonstrate entangled temporal orders

THE PHYSICS GRADUATE PROGRAM invites everyone to the seminar: 

  D.V. Kamanin: “Joint Institute for Nuclear Research: platform forinternational cooperation”

V.O. Nesterenko: “Toroidal excitations in nuclei”. 

Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research,

Dubna, Moscow region, Russia

 Abstract:

 The E1 toroidal resonance (TR) is the only known intrinsic vortical mode in atomic nuclei. The TR is interesting in many aspects: it i) can be used as a measure of the nuclear dipole vorticity, ii) is a source of the pygmy dipole resonance, iii) forms the low-energy pat of the isoscalar giant dipole resonance, iv) is realized as a spherical Hill’s vortex well known in hydrodynamics, v) demonstrates elasticity. Toroidal moments are discussed in various areas: from dark matter to metamaterials. However the TR in nuclei still has many open problems, both in theory and experiment. The talk outlines main TR features and presents the recent Skyrme QRPA results of Dubna – Prague – Bratislava – Erlangen collaboration in this field. In particular, it will be shown that light highly-prolate nuclei, like 24Mg, provide new opportunities, maybe even breakthrough, in the search of the toroidal excitations. In these nuclei, the toroidal excitations can appear as the lowest by energy individual dipole states. Such states could serve as new promising tests for various reactions to probe a nuclear vortical flow.

O Brasil, por meio do MCTI, está formalizando um acordo internacional com o JINR, que possui vários laboratórios modernos destinados não só a área de física nuclear (alguns isótopos foram recentemente sintetizados por lá, como o Dubniun e o Flerovium), mas também muito utilizados  na área de estado sólido, com ênfase em novos materiais. O acordo, do qual a UFSC será signatáriapor meio da SINTER, envolverá:

1. For better knowing what is JINR – participation of a relevant UFSC manager in JEMS programme (http://www.jinr.ru/jems )
2. Selection of senior students to participate in JINR summer programme via http://students.jinr.r
3. Selection of a couple of masters/phd to participate in JINR student practice: http://ucnew.jinr.ru/en/isp the best occasion will be June 03-25 jointly with South Africans
4. Participation in JINR postdoc programme related to pur flagship projects – to be annonced soon 5. To participate in JINR Virtual Labs initiative as advance user: http://v-labs.ru (free)

O VI Encontro de Física e Astronomia da UFSC está programado para ocorrer no período de 19/02/2018 a 23/02/2018, no campus de Florianópolis da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). O evento visa cobrir um amplo espectro de temas de pesquisa em Física e Astronomia. Para compor o programa do evento, pesquisadores do Brasil e do exterior, de reconhecida liderança em seus campos de atuação, foram convidados para ministrar palestras. Além das palestras apresentadas por pesquisadores convidados, serão oferecidos minicursos ministrados por professores do Programa de Pós-graduação em Física da UFSC. Para estimular a participação de jovens pesquisadores, o programa também contará com seminários de menor duração e sessões de posters, onde pós-doutores, pós-graduandos e graduandos poderão apresentar e discutir seus trabalhos de pesquisa.
