Dr. Zhu’s group recently observed, for the first time in the world, the extremely large cross-phase modulation between two weak lasers based on EIT nonlinear optics. Such large cross-phase modulation may be used to realize a universal quantum phase gate, a key device in quantum computing researches. The results are published in Physical Review Letters.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2004
"for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction"The 2004 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to three American scientists, David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek, for their explanation of the strong force, or how quarks combine to form protons and neutrons.
The Nobel Jury said: "The discovery which is awarded this year's Nobel Prize is of decisive importance for our understanding of how the theory of one of nature's fundamental forces works, the force that ties together the smallest pieces of matter - the quarks." more...An Inter-regional grid enabled Center for High Energy Physics Research and Educational Outreach at FIU
Florida International University (FIU), in collaboration with partners at Florida State University (FSU), the University of Florida (UF), and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), are requesting funds to create and operate an inter-regional Grid-enabled Center for High-Energy Physics Research and Educational Outreach (CHEPREO) at FIU, encompassing an integrated program of research, network infrastructure development, and education and outreach at one of the largest minority schools in the US. more...
