3D Printer made at the Department of Physics

Jorge Douglas Massayuki Kondo professor from UFSC did a seminar today, May 26, 2017, titled Experimental Atomic Physics – Challenges and Solutions a way between the rocks  (Física Atômica Experimental – Desafios e Soluções o caminho entre as pedras). He expose his research at the atomic conditions of Rydberg and it was recently published at Nature (Nature Photonics v. 10, p. 689, 2016). The discussion was about the challenges and the solutions planning an experimental device and the installation of the experimental laboratory in atomic physics of the Physic’s Department from the UFSC. At last, it was presented a 3D printer made by the Prof. Jorge this year and it’s already being used to generate pieces to other laboratories and other experiments (in collaboration with the Prof. Lúcio Farenzena).

THE PHYSICS GRADUATE PROGRAM invites everyone to the seminar: 

  Prospects and possibilities for postgraduate studies at Rice University 

Doutoranda Luiza Gomes Fereira – Rice University

 Abstract:

A possibilidade de estudar em outros países é cada vez mais atrativa aos jovens, devido ao caráter aventureiro e de abertura à novas perspectivas na vida pessoal e profissional. Os Estados Unidos da América são um dos destinos mais almejados por ser um grande centro de cultura e ciências. A cidade de Houston, uma das maiores cidades americanas é onde está localizada a Rice University. A Rice está entre as melhores universidades americanas, e tem em seu corpo um docente um prêmio Nobel de Química além de possuir um dos maiores centros de pesquisa teórica em biociência, o Biological Research Collaborative (BRC) que reúne pesquisadores de diversas áreas. Estas palestra visa estimular e ajudar estudantes brasileiros a irem estudar na Rice e possibilitar mais colaborações com instituições brasileiras.

Date: May 30, 2017 – (tuesday) – Place: Sala 114 – Sala de reuniões do Departamento de Física – Time: 10 horas

Física Atômica Experimental – Desafios e Soluções o caminho entre as pedras 

Prof. Dr. Jorge Douglas Massayuki kondo – UFSC

Abstract:

In the light of the most recent developments in tunable lasers and different schemes of cooling and trapping atomic samples, we can witness a grow in research groups around the planet interested in such systems in several different applications. Among the possibilities are the extensive exploration in the realm of degenerate quantum gases like Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic degenerate samples, research on quantum turbulence (vortex creation), solitons, atomtronic, information storage, quantum simulations, etc. Highly excited atomic states, called Rydberg states are ideals in system that need long range controllable interactions and due to its long life-time, allows several operations over the same sample in cold samples. The quantum character of such atomic system led us to the observation of quantum interferences between coupled photons to a variety of atomic states, resulting, as an example, to the slowdown of photons inside the cloud during a finite time. On this talk, I’ll discuss some of the research on this exotic state both in ultra-cold and hot samples, with attention to the challenges and solutions faced during the planning and design of this kind of experiments and stablish the grounds for the implantation of the experimental atomic physics lab at the physics department.
