Michael is co-organizing a KITP workshop Jan 13, 2025 – Feb 28, 2025. Recent advances in quantum optics have enabled control and manipulation of individual excitations in electronic, magnetic, photonic, and phononic degrees of freedom. The goal of our workshop is to explore the impact of these developments on probing and manipulating correlated quantum matter.… Continue reading KITP Workshop Quantum Optics of Correlated Electron Systems
