To go beyond 2D condensation physics, it becomes important to control the fundamental properties of polaritons without destroying the quantum orders. I will discuss a unconventional microcavity system we make. It incorporates a slab photonic crystal as one of the cavity mirrors to confine, control and coupling polaritons in a non-destructive and scalable manner. We showed that strong-coupling can be established in the new cavity system, fundamental properties of the polaritons can be controlled by design, including the polarization, energy-momentum dispersion, and dimensionality. Coupled polariton systems are readily created. We also showed single-mode polariton lasing in a 0D cavity, which, unlike (quasi) 2D polariton lasers demonstrated in the past, featured Poisson intensity noise expected of a coherent state and strong condensate interactions manifested in Gaussian line-broadening of the polariton laser. Such a 0D polariton lasers provides a building block for coupled polariton lattices with designable fundamental properties. It may open a door to experimental implementation of coupled cavity quantum electrodynamics systems and quantum technologies based on manybody quantum fluids.

Confinement times have been increased to near-classical values and the stability times attained are 105 times longer than predicted by MHD theory. Based on these advances, a number of groups have proposed upgrading their devices to achieve reactor-relevant parameters to produce net fusion power. In this talk, I will present recent experimental findings, numerical simulations, and analytic results on a single type of FRC, one heated by a radio-frequency technique having a particular symmetry, one predicted to improve energy confinement, drive current, and heat both ions and electrons. The benefits and limitations arising from the use of the aneutronic fuel mixture D-3He will be discussed. One unique application for this type of reactor is as a rocket engine for critical missions within and outside the solar system.

National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, TallahasseeOrganizer Department of Chemical and Biological PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about High-magnetic fields enhance NMR spectral resolution and sen...» High-magnetic fields enhance NMR spectral resolution and sensitivity but also bring new challenges requiring fast sample spinning rate and large bandwidth. I will present solid-state NMR applications using high-fields and technique development addressing these issues.
1. Spinning sideband manipulation based on magic-angle turning (MAT) can obtain ‘infinite-speed’ MAS spectors. Such an experiment can cover anisotropy up to 1MHz as illustrated with paramagnetic Li-ion battery materials and high-Z nuclei in chalcogenide glasses.
2. Multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) is a widely used experiment for obtaining high-resolution solid state NMR spectra of quadrupolar spins. NMR probes capable of generating strong rf and improved pulse schemes dramatically improve the MQMAS efficiency. The enhancement allows for application to insensitive low- quadrupolar nuclei like 39K and 25Mg in layered double hydroxides and bio-organic solids.
3. Direct observation of 14N is difficult due to large quadrupolar coupling and the spin-1 nucleus. Indirect 14N detection through 13C and 1H under high-resolution magic-angle spinning condition can overcome the difficulties of low sensitivity and broad lines. The indirect experiment based on HMQC allows for the measurement of inter-nuclei distance and 14N electric-field gradient parameters which inaccessible through the conventional 15N NMR.
