While quantummeasurement has long been seen as a deepphilosophical conundrum, technologicalprogress and new potential applicationssuch as quantum information processinghave turned it into a respectable experimental discipline as well. I will introduce amodern perspective on real-world quantummeasurement, including the new paradigm of“weak measurement” and its (controversial)potential for addressing fundamental issuesas well as for improving the precision ofpractical measurement.FM1B.1 08:00Ultrafast Terahertz Probes of InteractingDark Excitons in Chirality-specific Singlewalled Carbon Nanotubes, Liang Luo1,2,Ioannis Chatzakis1,2, Aaron Patz1,2, JigangWang 1,2; 1Physics and Astronomy, IowaState Univ., USA; 2Ames Lab-US DOE, USA.Ultrafast terahertz intra-excitonic transition 6 meV reveals stable quasi-1D manyexciton states that evolve uniquely from apredominant dark exciton population tocomplex phase-space filling of both dark andbright pair states in (6,5) SWNTsTutorialFM1C.1 08:00Recent Progress in Optical Metamaterials,1 1Xiang Zhang ; Univ. of California Berkeley,USA.
