CERN’s Post

Engaging in conversations with Prof. Bobby Joseph, the esteemed physicist from Elettra Sincrotrone Triest in Italy, was an intellectually enriching experience that transcended the boundaries of conventional discourse. As a distinguished speaker at the ICCMDP 23 international conference on condensed matter and device physics, his expertise in utilizing pressure as a "friendly" tool for material manipulation was nothing short of remarkable. During our discussions, Prof. Joseph's insights into the world of superconductors, the South European Society for Synchrotron Radiation (SESSA), the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), and European groups dedicated to high-energy physics were both illuminating and thought-provoking. His deep knowledge of these subjects allowed us to explore their implications and significance in today's scientific landscape. What truly set our conversations apart were Prof. Joseph's invaluable pieces of advice and guidance. His ability to distill complex scientific concepts into practical insights was not only impressive but also incredibly helpful. It was a privilege to learn from someone who possesses such a wealth of knowledge and experience. In the presence of Prof. Bobby Joseph, I felt not only inspired but also deeply appreciative of the power of intellectual exchange. Our interactions underscored the importance of collaboration and the profound impact it can have on our understanding of the universe. It was an exceptional opportunity to pick his brain on scientific matters and gain a deeper appreciation for the world of physics and materials science. Prof. Joseph's willingness to share his wisdom and engage in these discussions was a testament to the generosity of spirit that often characterizes the scientific community. I am truly grateful for the chance to have had these enlightening conversations with him, and I look forward to further exploring the frontiers of science and knowledge. #ICCMDP23Speaker #CondensedMatterPhysics #PerovskiteSolarCells #SustainableEnergy #SemiconductorMarket #ScientificInsights #IntellectualExchange #EnergySector #KnowledgeSharing #InspirationalConversations

The XI International Symposium "Ultrafast Dynamics and Ultrafast Bandgap Photonics" is being held this week in the beautiful island of Crete, for the third year in a row, https://lnkd.in/eSrSfeKS I had the honor to start the conference with a plenary talk on how two-dimensional coherent nonlinear spectroscopy of superconductors allows for quantum tomography of light-controlled non-equilibrium states, with new breakthrough results, obtained in collaboration with Jigang Wang's experimental group at Ames Lab, on how a pulse-pair of intense Terahertz laser fields with controllable relative phase can image and induce light-controlled superconductivity. Having observed and controlled with a pulse-pair interference of different superconductor excitations, is room temperature light-induced superconductivity next?

✨SLAC’s original 2-mile-long accelerator was a bold idea, so daring that the Stanford physicists who devised it affectionately referred to it as “the Monster” or Project M. More than 60 years and several Nobel prizes later, it remains the backbone of our lab and a workhorse for our nation in support of science and technology. Our accelerator scientists – including Julia Gonski and Tor Raubenheimer – are still pushing the field forward, helping define the discovery machines of tomorrow.

📝New analog simulators can facilitate the study of ultrafast dynamics processes ICFO researchers Javier Argüello Luengo, Javier Rivera Dean, Philipp Stammer led by the ICREA Prof. at ICFO Maciej Lewenstein and in collaboration with other institutes all over the globe (Aarhus University, University of California and Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology [GTIIT] ) have theoretically proposed a new experimental platform based on analog simulation with atom clouds to study high-harmonic generation, an ultrafast dynamic process whose study challenges conventional computational methods. Their simulator can be adapted to approach a wide range of complex phenomena, opening the door to regimes that theory and direct experimentation are struggling to reach.

It was an absolute highlight to provide the theory for this impressive experiment. We used a multi-physics approach to model each step of the experiment from real-time TDDFT to surface hopping and coupled-cluster theory. We extract not just spectral data about geometry changes and electronic character, but also resolve the creation and dephasing of electronic and nuclear quantum beats – the inherent characteristics of coherent superpositions of molecular eigenstates. Work done during my time at Max Planck School of Photonics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena. #chemistry #attosecondscience #physics

Warm dense matter (#WDM) can be found in astrophysical objects and is created during inertial confinement fusion. An important method to investigate WDM is X-ray Thomson scattering. Researchers from European XFEL, the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at HZDR and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have now recorded ultra-high-resolution X-ray Thomson scattering spectra with an energy resolution improved more than tenfold compared to previous approaches. The team have published their findings in the journal Physical Review B, which honored the work with an “Editor’s Suggestion”. As the researchers report, the innovative method will enable WDM diagnostics with unprecedented accuracy. “These exciting new capabilities at the European XFEL allow for unprecedented insights into the behavior of matter at extreme conditions,” explains lead author Thomas Gawne from CASUS' Young Investigator Group “Frontiers of Computational Quantum Many-Body Theory” led by Tobias Dornheim. Dornheim recently received funding for a laser fusion project from the #EuropeanUnion via its #JustTransitionFund. Specifically, he plans to make X-ray Thomson scattering evaluation accessible beyond the small group many-body system simulation experts. If he succeeds, laser physicists at European XFEL and elsewhere could design their experiments in a more targeted manner than it is possible today.
