WUSOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about An inverse cascade in the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equa...» An inverse cascade in the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in a restricted periodic domain creates a large-scale condensate—a pair of system-size vortices. We perform extensive numerical simulations of this system and develop a theory based upon the momentum and energy balance between the small-scale turbulent fluctuations and the large-scale coherent vortices. We show that the vortices have a universal internal structure that is independent of the type of small-scale dissipation, small-scale forcing and boundary conditions. The theory not only predicts the radial power-law profile but also the amplitude of the vortices. -

Controlling Light with Light: Demonstration of Deterministic Photon-Photon Interactions
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Achieving optical nonlinear interactions at the level of sin...» Achieving optical nonlinear interactions at the level of single photons has been the goal of extensive efforts in the last couple of decades.
I will present our recent demonstration of deterministic, all-optical photon-photon interactions based on a single atom. This scheme performs deterministic quantum state-transfer between a photon and a single quantum emitter (a 87Rb atom, in our case). Based on passive, interference-based nonlinearity, this scheme requires no control fields, and can function as a quantum memory and even a universal quantum gate. It therefore provides a building block for scalable quantum networks based on completely passive photonic devices interconnected and activated solely by single photons.

Weizmann Institute of ScienceOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Collective effects can be observed in pedestrian crowds, dur...» Collective effects can be observed in pedestrian crowds, during experiments or even in everyday life. In this presentation we use the tools of statistical mechanics to study one of them, namely the formation of diagonal stripes in an intersection of two flows. The elementary building block of the model will be the TASEP. We will combine several TASEP lanes to form an intersection where self-propelled 'pedestrians' will move. In periodic boundary conditions a diagonal pattern well-known from experiments will be observed and shown to emerge from a linear stability analysis of the mean-field equations. With open boundary conditions particles will be shown to self-organize not exactly into diagonals but into 'chevrons', a slightly tilted pattern. We will provide a simple picture of this effect in terms of environment-mediated effective interactions between particles.
