March Meeting 2013: Invited talk on cavity quantum phonodynamics, talks on spin-valley relaxation and many-body phononic systems.
This year's APS March Meeting in Baltimore was unquestionably a good one. It seemed like everyone showed up. We were happy to be able to give an invited talk on cavity quantum phon...
Preprint: Toward engineered quantum many-body phonon systems
Arrays of coupled cavity quantum phonodynamical systems in silicon are considered. We study physical systems that can exhibit, e.g., Mott insulator states of phonons due to a stron...
Preprint: Spin-valley lifetimes in a silicon quantum dot with tunable valley splitting
Whilst silicon is a promising material for quantum computation, the degeneracy of the conduction band minima (valleys) must be lifted with a splitting sufficient to ensure formatio...
Preprint: On-chip quantum phonodynamics
Sound can be just as quantum as light. But our toolbox for single quanta of sound, i.e. phonons, is currently insufficient. Here we describe a new component that enables a chip-bas...
Phoniton named UMD Invention of the Year Finalist
Could the Next World-Changing Technology Emerge From UMD? (Not exactly how we would hype it, but we appreciate the support!) Phonitons as a Sound-based Analogue of Cavity Quantum E...
