Prof. David DeMille (Johns Hopkins University)

1/13/26, 10:00 AM

This talk will describe three types of experiments that use techniques of single quantum state preparation, state engineering, and projective state readout to measure fundamental symmetry-violating properties of nuclei, often at the standard quantum limit of sensitivity. These are:
1. Ongoing experiments to search for parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating nuclear Schiff moments, which...
