Postdoc Hugo Cavalcante’s wife Lucelia gave birth to their daughter Lua on Friday, February 18, 2011. Lua weighed 7 pounds and one ounce. Mother and Daughter are both doing well. Congratulations to Hugo and Lucelia!
In July Prof. Shailesh Chandrasekharan and postdoctoral associate Dr. Anyi Li traveled to Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe to attend 2011 International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory. It is the biggest annual meeting for all the people who are doing lattice field theory calculations. 350 participants from all over the world have attended this year's conference. Prof. Chandrasekharan and Dr. Li presented their work on the novel developed algorithm which can efficiently simulate the fermionic system at chiral limit. It is believed that the conventional approach would fail at that limit. Their approach has been well received by the audiences and raised lots of interesting questions and discussions. The new algorithm has promising applications on the physics of graphene and unitary fermi gas. They have started implementing the calculations on those problems.

The exhibit on Super-Kamiokande at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, on Odaiba Island, in Tokyo. It was quite exciting to visit a museum exhibit on an experiment we were actively working on.
Members of the optics lab Rui Zhang, Joel Greenberg and Prof. Daniel Gauthier along with Prof. M.C. Fischer from Chemistry had their recent paper “Controllable ultra-broadband slow light in a warm Rubidium vapor” (2011) was recently selected as a notable Atomic and Molecular Physics paper by the Journal of the Optical Society of America B.
A paper describing Paul Dannenberg's (Physics '13) undergraduate research on noise-induced transitions in nonlinear systems has recently appeared in Physical Review Letters. The paper is titled "Steering Most Probable Escape Paths by Varying Relative Noise Intensities" and can be viewed here. This research was commenced during Paul's senior year at Duke and was supervised by Prof. Stephen Teitsworth and done in collaboration with John Neu, Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke. Dannenberg will be attending Harvard Medical School in Fall 2014.

In a recent article that was accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters, Prof. Shailesh Chandrasekharan and a former Duke post doc Anyi Li (currently at the Institute for Nuclear Theory, in Seattle) propose a new idea in which fermionic physics is collected inside “fermion bags” and the Monte Carlo calculations are performed using these extended objects as degrees of freedom.

TRT is being assembled. After the assembly, it is moved down to the experimental area. The outer diameter is about 2.1 meters (7 feet).

Duke University Physics Department, Science Night 2010
Sep 22 four student volunteers from the Physics Dept’s Outreach Group joined the Chemistry Dept’s Outreach Group for “An Evening of Science” in front of the French Science Building. Using demonstrations, the students explained two topics they learned in mechanics, Newton’s 3rd Law and Waves.
The image here is of a Ruben’s Tube. The pipe has a speaker inserted in one end and the other end plugged. There is a line of small holes drilled along the top and a gas valve on the front – basically a long grill with a speaker in one end. (The Outreach group can cook hot dogs, too!) After turning on the gas and lighting, an amplified function generator sends a sine wave to the speaker at one of the tube’s resonant frequencies. The flame heights will vary according to the sound pressure level at each hole thus the standing wave in flames.
