Harvard researchers who have worked at the institute include McKay Professor of Applied Physics Lene V. Hau and Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Howard C. Berg...
...Lene Hau, McKay professor of applied physics and professor of physics, received a MacArthur Fellowship yesterday for her work on manipulating light. The “genius grant” entitles her to receive $500,000 over a period of five years, which she can spend as she pleases...
...Lene V. Hau, McKay professor of applied physics, briefly explained her work in slowing light from its standard speed to 38 miles per hour...
...storing it and then releasing it at will as if it were an ordinary particle - has apparently been pulled off by two independent teams of physicists, one led by Dr. Ronald L. Walsworth and Dr. Mikhail D. Lukin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the other by Dr. Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard, who made similar headlines two years ago when she slowed a beam of light down to a nearly pedestrian 38 miles an hour. Walsworth's work will be published in the Jan. 29 Physical Review Letters; Hau's in the journal Nature, sometime soon...
...used in switches and memory-storage devices at the heart of so-called quantum computers, which use subatomic effects for processing information. Such applications are a decade away at least; for now, physicists are happy to probe the strange interplay of light and matter. "It's great fun," says Lene Hau, leader of the Harvard-Rowland team. "And it's great science...
