It governs familiar every day processes ranging Mike Brown from heat transport and electrical conductivity to the diffusion of gases. In Geology & Planetary Sciences isolated quantum systems, the breakdown of statistical mechanics is known as many-body localization. I am interested in the understanding the associated phase Caltech transition and in proposing both systems and observables with which to probe this phenome- non. The realization of such a phase of matter may enable the protection of exotic topological Paul Corkum orders and holds potential as a strongly-interacting, disordered, many-body quantum computer.

    Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2012/ Laser Science (LS) XXVIII 14-18 October 2012 OSA’s Annual Meeting, Frontiers in Optics 2012, wrapped up today Rochester, N.Y., featuring nearly 900 presentations over five days -- 96 years after the Optical Society was founded in this very city. Collocated with the American Physical Society Division of Laser Science’s annual meeting, Laser Science XXVIII, FiO brought together more than 1,700 attendees–a significant increase over last year– covering the latest advances in all areas of optics and photonics – from adaptive optics and optical sensing to silicon photonics and quantum information science. The first day of the conference featured a variety of short courses on timely optics topics, as well as a tribute to Emil Wolf—a well-known optics luminary whose work at the University of Rochester and elsewhere has had a considerable impact on the optics community today. The second day kicked off with a Plenary Session and Awards Ceremony, showcasing presentations from five world-renowned researchers in optics and beyond. OSA’s Frederic Ives Medal Winner Marlan Scully discussed quantum photocells, followed by APS’s Schawlow Award Winner Michael Fayer of Stanford, who covered ultrafast 2D IR vibrational echo spectroscopy. Attendees were then treated to a special guest keynote presentation by Al Goshaw, a Duke University researcher who worked directly on the likely discovery of the Higgs boson particle that rocked the physics world this summer. Rounding out the session were David Williams of the University of Rochester and Paul Corkum of Canada’s NRC and University of Ottawa, who discussed retinal imaging and attosecond photonics, respectively.

The $100,000 awards to Paul Corkum, Jean-Marie Dufour, B. Brett Finlay, Roderick Guthrie and Susan Sherwin were announced today by the Canada Council for the Arts, which administers the Killam program. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Killam Prizes, which were inaugurated in 1981 and financed through funds donated to the Canada Council by Mrs. Dorothy J. Killam in memory of her husband, Izaak Walton Killam. The Prizes were created to honour eminent Canadian scholars and scientists actively engaged in research, whether in industry, government agencies or universities. When the Canada Council was created in 1957, its mandate was to support both the arts and scholarly research; although this changed with the creation of separate research councils, the Canada Council retained responsibility for the Killam program. The Killam Fund at the Canada Council was valued at approximately $58 million as of March 31, 2005. The Killam Trusts, which fund scholarship and research at four Canadian universities, a research institute and the Canada Council, are valued at approximately $400 million.
