However, at the end of the 1800s it was clear that Newtonian physics didn’t accurately describe the behavior of light and matter at the atomic scale. For example: Why atoms do ...

... A moving “particle” is described by a superposition of a great many sin and cos waves which constructively interfere to give a Gaussian probability near a certain point but destructively interfere everywhere else. The Gaussian “wave packet” moves according to the kinetic energy given by the average ...

Quantum Memories at Room-Temperature Supervisors: Dr Dylan

However, photon loss and the probabilistic operation of quantum operations prohibit the scaling of experiments to a regime where large numbers of photons can be prepared in quantum-correlated states. He ...

Localization of the eigenfunctions and associated free boundary problems
... In this talk I will present recent results revealing a universal mechanism of localization for an elliptic operator in a bounded domain. Via a new notion of “landscape” we connect localization to a certain multi-phase free boundary problem, which in turn allows us to identify location, shapes, and e ...
