QFC2019 - Quantum gases, fundamental interactions and cosmology

Oct 23 – 25, 2019
Aula Gerace
Europe/Rome timezone
We had been hoping to be able to hold the conference on the originally scheduled period in October 2021 but given the pandemic situation we have decided to postpone the conference period to October 2022.

  1. 26. Continuous Real-Time Tracking of a Quantum Phase Below the Standard Quantum Limit (Q)
    Prof. Murray Holland (JILA and University of Colorado)
    10/23/19, 2:00 PM
    Quantum Gases
    talk

    We propose a scheme for continuously measuring the evolving quantum phase of a collective spin composed of $N$ pseudospins. Quantum nondemolition measurements of a lossy cavity mode interacting with an atomic ensemble are used to directly probe the phase of the collective atomic spin without converting it into a population difference. Unlike traditional Ramsey measurement sequences, our scheme...

  2. 7. Sub-GeV dark matter detection with superfluid He-4: an EFT approach (C)
    Angelo Esposito (EPFL)
    10/23/19, 2:25 PM
    Fundamental Interacions
    talk

    We employ an effective field theory to study the detectability of sub-GeV dark matter through its interaction with the gapless excitations of superfluid He-4. In a quantum field theory language, the possible interactions between the dark matter and the superfluid phonon are solely dictated by symmetry. We compute the rate for the emission of one and two phonons, and show that these two...

  3. 15. Observational Black Hole Spectroscopy (C)
    Dr Gregorio Carullo (University of Pisa)
    10/23/19, 2:50 PM
    Cosmology
    talk

    In the presence of external perturbations, astrophysical black holes (BHs) relax toward
    a Kerr spacetime, as a consequence of the final state conjecture. During the relaxation
    process (ringdown), BHs emit a spectrum given by a superposition of damped
    sinusoids whose parameters are completely determined by the asymptotic BH mass and
    spin. The ringdown emission is observable in binary black...

  4. 27. General relativity tests and precision measurements (F)
    Leonardo Salvi (Università degli Studi di Firenze)
    10/23/19, 3:35 PM
    Quantum Gases
    talk

    In this talk, a series of experiments based on atom interferometry that can provide precision measurements and tests of gravitational interactions will be presented.
    First, with rubidium atom interferometers, experiments aimed at the precision measurement of the Newtonian gravitational constant and at the test of the Equivalence Principle with quantum superpositions of internal states will be...

  5. 24. Black Hole ringdown as a probe for Dark Energy
    Enrico Trincherini (Scuola Normale Superiore / INFN - Pisa)
    10/23/19, 4:00 PM
    Fundamental Interacions
    talk

    I will discuss how a class of Dark Energy models can be tested by studying the gravitational waves emitted during the ringdown phase after a black hole merger.
