Spin-Orbit-Coupled Interferometry with Ring-Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates (2018)
Journal Article
Helm, J., Billam, T., Rakonjac, A., Cornish, S., & Gardiner, S. (2018). Spin-Orbit-Coupled Interferometry with Ring-Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates. Physical Review Letters, 120(6), Article 063201. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.120.063201

We propose a method of atom interferometry using a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate with a timevarying magnetic field acting as a coherent beam splitter. Our protocol creates long-lived superpositional counterflow states, which are of fundamental inte... Read More about Spin-Orbit-Coupled Interferometry with Ring-Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates.

Serendipitous discovery of quadruply imaged quasars: two diamonds (2018)
Journal Article
Lucey, J. R., Schechter, P. L., Smith, R. J., & Anguita, T. (2018). Serendipitous discovery of quadruply imaged quasars: two diamonds. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 476(1), 927-932. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty243

Gravitationally lensed quasars are powerful and versatile astrophysical tools, but they are challengingly rare. In particular, only ∼25 well-characterized quadruple systems are known to date. To refine the target catalogue for the forthcoming Taipan... Read More about Serendipitous discovery of quadruply imaged quasars: two diamonds.

Dynamics of interacting fermions under spin-orbit coupling in an optical lattice clock (2018)
Journal Article
Bromley, S., Kolkowitz, S., Bothwell, T., Kedar, D., Safavi-Naini, A., Wall, M., …Ye, J. (2018). Dynamics of interacting fermions under spin-orbit coupling in an optical lattice clock. Nature Physics, 14(4), 399-404. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-017-0029-0

Quantum statistics and symmetrization dictate that identical fermions do not interact via s-wave collisions. However, in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), fermions prepared in identical internal states with distinct momenta become distinguis...

Astrophysical Journal, 853(2), Article 191. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaa3dc

We present observations of escaping Lyman Continuum (LyC) radiation from 34 massive star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and 12 weak AGN with reliably measured spectroscopic redshifts at $z\simeq 2.3\mbox{--}4.1$. We analyzed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wid...

We study theoretically shear banding in soft glassy materials subject to large amplitude time-periodic shear flows, considering separately the protocols of large amplitude oscillatory shear strain, large amplitude square or triangular or sawtooth str...

Charming new physics in rare B decays and mixing? (2018)
Journal Article

We conduct a systematic study of the impact of new physics in quark-level b → ccs¯ transitions on B physics, in particular rare B decays and B-meson lifetime observables. We find viable scenarios where a sizable effect in rare semileptonic B decays c... Read More about Charming new physics in rare B decays and mixing?.
