Rydberg Lecture 2022 with Professor Jun Ye, JILA, Colorado

Tuesday 10 May 2022, 15:00 → 16:00 Europe/Stockholm

The annual Rydberg Lecture is arranged in Lund with support from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute for Physics

Professor Jun Ye, JILA, Colorado

"Tick atoms in unison"

Abstract: The Constant bearing the name of Professor Rydberg unveiled the discrete nature of quantum states for individual atoms. Today we extend such discreteness to the quantum states of many atoms. Precise engineering of these quantum states of matter and innovative laser technology are revolutionizing atomic clocks and metrology, providing new opportunities to explore emerging phenomena, test fundamental symmetry, and search for new physics. The recent work of measuring gravitational time dilation at the sub-millimeter scale highlights exciting prospects for new discoveries and we may yet again call on Prof. Rydberg’s help.

Coffee is served from 15 o'clock. The lecture starts at 15.15

The meeting is held in the Rydberg lecture hall with the possibility to join digitally: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/910953381
