Fall 2008 Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics Seminars @ Stony Brook

  •  

All seminars are in S-141 at 4:00 PM on Mondays, unless otherwise noted.

  •  

Date: Monday, September 15 (4:00 PM): Prof. Chin-Chun Tsai, National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan

 

Title: “High Resolution Laser Spectroscopy”

 

Abstract: In this talk, high resolution laser spectroscopy is used to study quantum phenomena of atoms. The sample is either under laser cooled, at room temperature, or heated in an oven. Observations of electromagnetically-induced transparency, laser linewidth induced de-coherence and two-photon transition will be addressed.

 

Date: Monday, September 29: Prof. Victor Flambaum, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

 

Title: “Do Fundamental Constants Vary with Time?”

 

Date: Monday, October 13: Prof. Tanya Zelevinsky, Columbia University, NYC
