Magnetic resistance switching material

A quantum material is a complex system in which electrons interact strongly and collaboratively. As such, quantum mechanics plays a dominant role in the versatile materials that allow us to explore emergent quantum phenomena as well as their potential applications in future technologies.

Creating STEM department cultures that support diversity

I hear it all the time: ‘to improve the recruitment and advancement of women and minorities in STEM, we need to change department culture. But I’m not hearing people discuss what department culture actually is. How can we assess, improve, or navigate a thing we don’t know?

Landau-Zener tunneling: from weak to strong environment coupling

Presenter: Xi Dai (PhD Candidate, Physics and Astronomy – Quantum Information)

Landau-Zener tunneling, which describes the transitions in a two-level system during the passage through an anti-crossing, is a model applicable to a wide range of physical phenomena. Dissipation due to coupling between the system and environment is an important factor in determining the transition rates. Using a superconducting tunable capacitively shunted flux qubit, we observe the crossover from weak to strong coupling to the environment.
