Explorations in Fundamental Quantum Physics

Quantum technologies are a major growth area for both fundamental research as well as engineering applications in sensing, computation and communications. As part of this collection of efforts, quantum simulation involves using a model quantum system to emulate phenomena in more complicated, hard to control systems. In this talk, Adjunct Assistant Professor Sean Mossman, PhD, will describe his work in engineering trapped clouds of ultracold atoms to experimentally realize novel quantum states of matter, from supersolids to soliton gases, and their applications as quantum simulators for systems as diverse as electronic materials to neutron stars.
