We apply a pulsed-light interferometer to measure both the intensity and the phase of light that is transmitted through a strongly scattering disordered material. From a single set of measurements we obtain the time-resolved intensity, frequency correlations and statistical phase information simultaneously. We compare several independent techniques of measuring the diffusion constant for diffuse propagation of light. By comparing these independent measurements, we obtain experimental proof of the consistency of the diffusion model and corroborate phase statistics theory.

We follow the trajectories of phase singularities at nulls of intensity in the speckle pattern of waves transmitted through random media as the frequency of the incident radiation is scanned in microwave experiments and numerical simulations. Phase s
ingularities are observed to diffuse with a linear increase of the square displacement with frequency shift. The product of the diffusion coefficient of phase singularities in the transmitted speckle pattern and the photon diffusion coefficient through the random medium is proportional to the square of the effective sample length. This provides the photon diffusion coefficient and a method for characterizing the motion of dynamic material systems.
We present a new measurement of the Newtonian gravitational constant G based on cold atom interferometry. Freely falling samples of laser-cooled rubidium atoms are used in a gravity gradiometer to probe the field generated by nearby source masses. In
addition to its potential sensitivity, this method is intriguing as gravity is explored by a quantum system. We report a value of G=6.667 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}, estimating a statistical uncertainty of $pm$ 0.011 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2} and a systematic uncertainty of $pm$ 0.003 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}. The long-term stability of the instrument and the signal-to-noise ratio demonstrated here open interesting perspectives for pushing the measurement accuracy below the 100 ppm level.
We have made a phase-sensitive measurement on the corner junction of the iron-based superconductor BaFe1.8Co0.2As2, and observed the typical Fraunhofer-like diffraction pattern. The result suggests that there is no phase shift between the a-c face an
d b-c face of a crystal, which indicates that the superconducting wavefunction of the iron based superconductor is different from that of a cuprate superconductor.
The unifying feature of glass formers (such as polymers, supercooled liquids, colloids, granulars, spin glasses, superconductors, ...) is a sluggish dynamics at low temperatures. Indeed, their dynamics is so slow that thermal equilibrium is never rea
ched in macroscopic samples: in analogy with living beings, glasses are said to age. Here, we show how to relate experimentally relevant quantities with the experimentally unreachable low-temperature equilibrium phase. We have performed a very accurate computation of the non-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation ratio for the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass, by means of large-scale simulations on the special-purpose computers Janus and Janus II. This ratio (computed for finite times on very large, effectively infinite, systems) is compared with the equilibrium probability distribution of the spin overlap for finite sizes. The resulting quantitative statics-dynamics dictionary, based on observables that can be measured with current experimental methods, could allow the experimental exploration of important features of the spin-glass phase without uncontrollable extrapolations to infinite times or system sizes.
We consider diffusion of vibrations in 3d harmonic lattices with strong force-constant disorder. Above some frequency w_IR, corresponding to the Ioffe-Regel crossover, notion of phonons becomes ill defined. They cannot propagate through the system an
d transfer energy. Nevertheless most of the vibrations in this range are not localized. We show that they are similar to diffusons introduced by Allen, Feldman et al., Phil. Mag. B 79, 1715 (1999) to describe heat transport in glasses. The crossover frequency w_IR is close to the position of the boson peak. Changing strength of disorder we can vary w_IR from zero value (when rigidity is zero and there are no phonons in the lattice) up to a typical frequency in the system. Above w_IR the energy in the lattice is transferred by means of diffusion of vibrational excitations. We calculated the diffusivity of the modes D(w) using both the direct numerical solution of Newton equations and the formula of Edwards and Thouless. It is nearly a constant above w_IR and goes to zero at the localization threshold. We show that apart from the diffusion of energy, the diffusion of particle displacements in the lattice takes place as well. Above w_IR a displacement structure factor S(q,w) coincides well with a structure factor of random walk on the lattice. As a result the vibrational line width Gamma(q)=D_u q^2 where D_u is a diffusion coefficient of particle displacements. Our findings may have important consequence for the interpretation of experimental data on inelastic x-ray scattering and mechanisms of heat transfer in glasses.
