Abstract: Laser cooled species are finding more and more applications in moderns physics. Been base of various precision measurements ranging from metrological standards to search of drift of fundamental constants cold atoms they also now becoming powerful platform for quantum simulation for complicated interactions or new materials. While originally most of laser cooling and BEC activity was concentrated on alkali atoms, rare earth elements are attracting more and more attention these days. They large magnetic monument as well as narrow optical transitions attract both precision measurement and simulation communities. Such elements as Yt, Dy, Er were already cooled to BEC temperatures. Thulium also belongs to a group of rare-earth atoms and has hollow submerged electronic f-shell. The single stable isotope thulium-169 possesses a magnetic moment of 4 Bohr magnetrons in ground state, which exceeds the magnetic moment of alkali atoms by a factor of 10. This feature opens the opportunity to study long-range dipole-dipole and quadruple interactions between atoms as well as magnetic properties like spontaneous magnetization in the quantum regime. After loading ultracold thulium atoms into an optical lattice, one can obtain a unique two- or three-dimensional many-body quantum system with strong magnetic interactions. Therefore thulium atoms could provide a powerful platform for quantum simulation. In this talk I will describe our achievement and laser cooling of thulium atom.

**General Colloquium in Astrophysics: "From viscous fluids to Fermi surfaces: the lore of anti-de Sitter holes" by Steven Gubser on Thursday, April 17, 2014.
Website: http://www.princeton.edu/physics/people/display_person.xml?netid=ssgubser
Abstract: The gauge-string duality maps the physics of black holes into the physics of strongly coupled systems at finite temperature and/or density. It tells us, for example, how to describe a viscous fluid in terms of ripples on the horizon of a black hole. And it tells us how to translate the behavior of bosons and fermions near black holes into descriptions of superconductors and Fermi surfaces. I will give an introductory account of these applications of the gauge-string duality, focusing on examples where some comparison with data has been made.

"Active nanophotonics: from coherent control of quantum emitters to plasmonic nanolasers"
Abstract:
Light-matter interaction at nanometer scale is emerging as one of the most exciting fields in nanoscience. In combination with the advanced materials synthesis technique to tailor novel low-dimensional electronic systems, new doors are open toward design and realization of nanophotonic devices with novel functionalities. Here I will present two areas that have been pursued in my research group. The first concerns optical coherent control of semiconductor quantum dots as quantum light sources for quantum information applications[1-3]. In particular, I will discuss resonant excitation of quantum emitters in a cavity which enables observation of key signatures of resonant fluorescence such as Mollow triplets and Rabi oscillations in second order photon correlations. The second topic deals with recent exciting development in metal based plasmonic platform which enables the realization of plasmonic nanolasers that break the diffraction limit[4]. I will discuss the first CW operation of plasmonic nanolaser with ultra-low thresholds and show that the underlying mechanism is spasing. I will also show some recent breakthough in achieving full color nanolasers on the same materials platform [5]. Future perspectives of on-chip nanoscale quantum-photonic circuits will be discussed.
