报告人简介:

Prof. Wen-Te Liao received his PhD in Heidelberg University and Max Planck institute for nuclear physics in 2013. He worked in Center for Free Electron Laser Science at DESY during 2014-2015 as a postdoc. Since August 2015 he became an assistant professor in National Central university in Taiwan. His research focuses on x-ray and optical quantum optics. Till now he has contributed 16 peer-reviewed papers (Nature photonics, PRL et al.) and 36 invited talks. His PhD dissertation had been selected and published as Springer Theses.

报告摘要:

Einstein predicted that clocks at different altitudes tick at various rates under the influence of gravity. This effect has been observed using 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy over an elevation of 22.5 m or by comparing accurate optical clocks at different heights on a submetre scale. However, challenges remain in finding novel methods for the detection of gravitational and relativistic effects on more compact scales. Here, we investigate a scheme that potentially allows for millimetre- to submillimetre-scale studies of the gravitational redshift by probing a nuclear crystal with X-rays. Also, a rotating crystal can force interacting X-rays to experience inhomogeneous clock tick rates within it. We find that an association of gravitational redshift and special-relativistic time dilation with quantum interference is manifested by a time-dependent deflection of X-rays. The scheme suggests a table-top solution for probing gravitational and special-relativistic effects, which should be within the reach of current experimental technology.
