The design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time.

CUA Virtual Seminar – Probing graphene’s orbital magnetism with NV centers in diamond

Location:Zoom

Bo Dwyer

Many exotic phenomena in condensed matter physics, including quantum hall effects, topological states of matter, and magnetoelectric effects, can be understood in terms of the Berry phase of electrons in a solid. One of the first observations of such an effect was in graphene, whose Berry phase of pi shifts a Landau level at zero...
