摘要:

The p-wave superfluid 3He exhibits a number of exotic quantum phenomena which are intimately related to symmetry breaking and nontrivial topology, and their understanding has significant implications not only for condensed matter physics but also for particle physics and cosmology. In this talk, I will present two experimental studies of novel phenomena arising from symmetry breaking and nontrivial topology of superfluid 3He. First, I will present the first direct demonstration of chiral symmetry breaking in Weyl superfluid 3He-A phase by showing that electrons immersed in superfluid 3He-A exhibit an anomalous Hall effect. Second, I will present the direct observation of Majorana surface states formed at a free surface of topological 3He-B phase by using electrons trapped at the surface.

摘要:

Over 300 pulsars are seen to pulse in GeV gamma rays acquired with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Many more may be waiting for discovery: of the >2000 LAT sources with no counterpart known at other wavelengths, hundreds are non-variable, with pulsar-like spectral shapes and sky distributions. In addition, population syntheses typically predict as many as twice the current LAT pulsar sample. However, detecting gamma-ray pulsations will be difficult for most of the new ones, whether through blind searches of the gamma-ray data, or using long-term phase-connected rotation ephemeredes for radio pulsars. I will describe the sample of gamma-ray pulsars in the 3rd LAT Pulsar Catalog, and the ongoing work to transform candidates into discoveries. I will focus on the opportunities that FAST provides to identify the radio-faint, gamma-loud pulsars hidden in the LAT data, highlighting some of the science that further discoveries enable.

David A. Smith works with NASA’s Fermi satellite at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, a laboratory of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). The Large Area Telescope (LAT), Fermi’s primary instrument, is sensitive to gamma-ray photons in the GeV energy range. Fermi was called GLAST before being launched from Cape Canaveral in June, 2008. Smith grew up in Berkeley, California, and obtained a B.A. in Physics from the University there. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988, for work on the CDF experiment at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider that contributed to the discovery of the Top quark. He was part of a small team that built and commissioned the then-largest muon detector in the world, specializing in the front-end and trigger electronics. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Pisa, Italy for six years. David Smith switched to gamma ray astrophysics in 1991, developing innovative telescopes to exploit atmospheric Cherenkov light. He worked on experiments on the island of La Palma in the Canaries, and led the reconversion of a solar facility in the French Pyrenees into a gamma-ray telescope, focussing on the data acquisition electronics. He joined the CNRS staff in 1995. The Bordeaux group discovered of a large number of gamma-ray pulsars, widely published. Smith organised an international consortium to time pulsar rotations using radio telescopes around the world. Smith also led the testing of Fermi’s GPS-based precision clocks. His primary research interest is the study of gamma-ray pulsars. He also explores the nature of the approximately 2000 GeV LAT sources with no presently known counterpart at other wavelengths. To this end, he has been looking into massive star formation regions (SFRs) as gamma-ray emitters since late 2023.

摘要:

Understanding the asymptotic high-energy behavior of hadron-hadron total cross sections is one of the most challenging open problems in strong interaction physics. The optical theorem connects hadronic total cross sectionsto hadron elastic scattering amplitudes. In our work, we calculate, from first principles, the Euclidean correlation functions of Wilson loops that can be used to reconstruct high-energy meson-meson scattering amplitudes in a functional-integral approach. Additionally, considering the crossing symmetry of the loop-loop correlation functions, we clearly observe odderon exchange in the high-energy soft interactions between two quark dipoles.

摘要:

I will present universal relations between the crosssection, which is the primary observable for high energy particle scattering, and entanglement entropy, which quantifies the quantumness of the process. A careful formulation of incoming wave packets is essential to: seattering with no initial entanglement, uncover these relations. We show that for 2-particle seattering with no initial entanglement, the entanglement entropy for elastic final states is the elastic cross section in the unit of the transverse size for the initial wave packets, which can be alternatively interpreted as the elastic seattering probability, This statement does not depend on details of the local dynamies, and is valid to all orders in coupling strength, Furthermore, different ways to partition the system of the two particles lead to final state entanglement entropy expressed as different kinds of semi-inclusive elastie cross sections. Our results imply a version of an area law for entanglement entropy ofa two-body system.

摘要:

The investigation of twisted bilayer graphene has opened a “twistronics era”, providing unprecedented tunability for solid-state systems and an excellent platform for strongly correlated quantum phases and their transitions. While twisted bilayer graphene requires involved multi-band descriptions, twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides are simpler. In this talk, I will introduce some of our theoretical works related to recent experimental progress. We studied two cases of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides: (1) effective triangular systems and (2) effective honeycomb systems. For triangular systems, we predict magnetic orders and spin liquids at half-filling; we study the magnetic orders at the van Hove filling, predicting rich metallic magnetic orders. To gain some understanding of magnetism in the case away from half-filling. We use a cluster construction at 1/3 doping and analyze the competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange interactions from different virtual processes. The model we construct supports antiferromagnetism for intermediate interaction and ferromagnetism at strong interactions.

摘要:

连续谱束缚态(BICs)是物理学研究领域的一个重要概念。具有连续谱束缚态的光学系统通常含有超高品质因子的共振模式和动量空间的拓扑性质,使其在超低阈值激光、超敏传感器以及滤波器等方向具有非常重要的应用前景。最近的研究表明,具有高品质因子的准BICs可在不同的纳米结构中被实现。但是,其显著的色散效应也限制了准BICs在广角光源下的使用效率。另一方面,最近将转角自由度引入光子结构的设计,构建光子moiré超晶格受到了人们广泛关注。Moiré光学结构为设计弱色散的光子平带提供了重要的平台。因此一个重要的问题是:是否可以将moiré物理与BICs相结合,来构建具有平带效应的新的BIC光子态,使其拥有平带和BICs的双重特性?本报告将对这方面的研究进展做介绍。

摘要:

The evolution of massive galaxies is important for understanding key physical processes such as AGN feedback in galaxy formation and evolution. In a cosmological context, statistical properties of this population such as their abundance could also provide an interesting diagnostic test. There is mounting evidence that our knowledge of the galaxy stellar mass function at the high mass end is incomplete, and may even miss the dominant population of the very massive galaxies. To achieve an unbiased census of massive galaxies particularly in the early Universe, it is imperative to account for the dust-obscured star-formation galaxies, which are most easily observed in the far-infrared and sub-millimetre. I will present our efforts and results in tracing this elusive population, their physical properties and triggering mechanisms, by employing a tripod approach of state-of-the-art galaxy surveys, cosmological simulations and artificial intelligence techniques. I will conclude by summarising our main conclusions so far, future outlook and also challenges therein.

报告人简介:

I obtained B.S. in Physics from Zhejiang University in 2005 and Ph.D. in astrophysics from Imperial Collage London in the UK in 2009. I held post-doctoral research fellowships at the University of Sussex and University of Durham in the UK from 2009 to 2015. In 2015, I was appointed as scientist (tenure track and later tenured) at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and assistant professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. I was promoted to senior scientist in 2021 and associate professor in 2024. My research focuses on statistical galaxy evolution studies in diverse environment across cosmic time and how galaxy evolution connects to the underlying cosmological framework. For more than a decade, I have worked extensively on large multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic extragalactic galaxy surveys from the local to the early Universe (such as Herschel, GAMA, LOFAR and Euclid), consistent comparisons with state-of-the-art theoretical models and simulations of galaxy formation and evolution, and applications of machine learning (in particular deep learning) methods. In particular, I focus on investigating the two main physical processes driving galaxy evolution, i.e., star formation and accretion onto supermassive black holes and feedback, using multiple observational probes and test galaxy populations (from field galaxies to galaxy clusters). Over the past decade, I have won various individual and team research grants for my work. I have also served on various international panels and committees, in particular I served as a Topical Team member for the European Space Agency (ESA) Voyage 2050 Programme which sets out priorities in the ESA science mission themes for the timeframe 2035 - 2050.

摘要:

The superconductivity mechanism in high temperature superconductors remains a prominent and challenging issue in condensed matter physics. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) plays a key role in probing the electronic structure, many-body effect and superconducting gap structure of these superconductors. In this talk, I will report our recent laser-based ARPES studies of the cuprate superconductors, iron-based superconductors and newly discovered nickel-based superconductors. We developed a new approach that makes ARPES able to measure not only the superconducting gap size but also the gap sign. We determined that the pairing symmetry is of the nodal s+-(G-M) type in iron-based superconductor KFe2As2 which has only hole pockets. We found ubiquitous coexisting electron couplings with both the 40 meV and 70 meV modes in cuprate superconductors. We revealed the electronic origin of high-Tc maximization in trilayer cuprate superconductors. We resolved the electronic structures of La3Ni2O7 and found orbital-dependent electron correlations. These results provide key insights in understanding superconductivity mechanism and also pave a way to further enhance Tc in these high temperature superconductors.

摘要:

在强关联阻挫体系中,复杂的自旋、电子、晶格和轨道相互作用常常会导致低能态的宏观简并,诱导出一系列新奇的物理特性。当磁矩较小(S=1/2或1)时,这种简并态极易受到热涨落、量子涨落等影响,在极低温、高磁场、强压力等极端条件下被进一步调控,甚至产生新物态,例如量子自旋液体态,磁化平台相等等。目前,量子自旋液体材料主要分为基于强几何阻挫的共振价键体系和基于六角蜂巢晶格上的Kitaev体系。前者的典型代表为三角晶格、笼目晶格等,但是被哈密顿量不能严格求解所限制。Kitaev模型则是起源于二维蜂窝状晶格,六个顶点上的磁性离子与最近邻离子沿不同晶格方向存在强各向异性的类Ising相互作用,即Kitaev相互作用。与起源于自旋排列和晶格对称性不相容诱导的几何阻挫不同,Kitaev模型中单个格点的自旋由于具有键依赖性,其本身就存在阻挫。另外,Kitaev模型的基态可严格求解,对研究量子效应、低能分数化激发等具有颇高的研究价值。我们主要利用弹性和非弹性中子散射技术对三角、蜂巢及Shastry-Sutherland等二维晶格氧化物的量子自旋液体行为开展探索,并力图对极低温、强磁场诱导出的各相开展调控。
