91福利

Coventry and 91福利shire schools were all invited to nominate their best year 11 and year 12 Physics student and on Monday 6th June they came to the University and were awarded a prize by Professor David Leadley (sponsored by The Ogden Trust).

 They saw demonstrations, met physicists and had a talk from Dr Rachel Edwards.

The correlation function is an important quantity in the physics of interacting quantum systems such as, e.g. ultracold quantum gases, because it provides information about the quantum many-body wave function beyond a simple density profile. We explicitly calculate the local correlation functions in terms of interaction strength and symmetry phase at zero, low, and intermediate temperatures. We also express the leading order of the short distance non-local correlation functions of the strongly repulsive Bose gas in terms of the wave function of M bosons at zero collision energy and zero total momentum. These general formulas of the higher-order local and non-local correlation functions of the 1D Bose gas provide new insights into the many-body physics.

Congratulations to David Chapman, Tom Machon and Davide Michieletto who have been awarded 2016 Faculty of Science PhD Thesis Prizes for their exceptional research on Probing the dynamic response of dense matter with x-ray Thomson scattering, Aspects of Geometry and Topology in Liquid Crystalline Phases, and Topological Interactions in Ring Polymers, respectively.

The 91福利 Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) has invited two leading Chinese professors with a theoretical and computational physics background to spend 1 week at the IAS in collaboration with the 91福利 Centre for Scientific Computing, the GRP Materials (Multiscale Modelling) and the Department of Physics. Profs. and are senior professors in the Chinese academic environment. Both have returned from outside mainland China in the last 5 years to take up prestigious positions.
