JILA Community Event

This event will feature engaging presentations from our JILA members, offering insights into their passions and hobbies. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn from one another and foster collaboration within the JILA community.
We have a fantastic speaker line-up for you this year, so please see below for a preview of what subjects we'll be covering:

Each year, the Richard Nelson Thomas Award is given to an outstanding APS graduate student at JILA. This year’s recipient is Tatsuya Akiba (of Ann-Marie Madigan’s group).

Please join us in congratulating Tatsuya by attending this celebration! All JILAns are welcome!

There will be refreshments.

Note: Snacks will be provided.

Note: Feel free to bring your own lunch.

Abstract: Ultracold dipolar gases, formed by atoms or molecules with strong dipole-dipole interactions, present radically different physics compared to their non-dipolar counterparts. In this talk, I will focus on dipolar gases in optical lattices or tweezer arrays. I will first discuss the case of spin models realized by pinned dipoles in optical lattices, commenting on the intriguing relaxation dynamics of spin patterns in bilayer and ladder set ups, and then briefly browsing over some interesting disorder scenarios in dipolar spin models.
