Universal profile of the vortex condensate in two-dimensional turbulence

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.
