Séminaire du PhLAM

The next PhLAM research seminar will be given by Dr. Clément HAINAUT (CR CNRS) on.

Out-of-equilibrium phenomena in 2-dimensional quantum systems

Two-dimensional quantum systems pose intricate problems due to their distinct density of states and connectivity, amplifying the significance of thermal and quantum fluctuations compared to their three-dimensional counterparts. In this seminar, I propose to start by discussing general examples of these challenges that originate from the physics of phase transitions in solid-state materials. Following that, I will provide a broad overview of how various types of quantum gases can be used to tackle these issues. Subsequently, I will introduce the approach we have adopted at the PhLAM laboratory. This approach involves the unique combination of cutting-edge Polariton semiconductor microcavities with ultrafast bidimensional optical measurements for the exploration of these two-dimensional physical phenomena.
