Strong Dispersive Coupling between a High Finesse Cavity and a Micromechanical Object
Jack Harris, assistant professor of physics and applied physics, Yale University,
Speaker's Bio:
Jack Harris graduated in 1994 with an A.B. from Cornell University. His graduate work was carried out in David Awschalom’s group at UCSB, and used sensitive micromechanical devices to study thermodynamic properties of quantum Hall systems. After graduating in 2000 he worked as a postodoc in the Harvard/MIT Center for Ultracold Atoms, developing new atom-trapping techniques under John Doyle and Wolfgang Ketterle. In 2004 he joined the Yale Physics and Applied Physics Departments. He conducts research on the interface of micromechanics, cavity quantum optics, and mesoscopic electronics.
