Quantum physicists from MIFP unravel the secret of roulette
Since the early XVIIIth century roulette is one of the most popular, most elegant and most dangerous gambling games. An ideal roulette always wins against any gambler, if the game continues indefinitely. All winning strategies fail at sufficiently long time scales.
Nevertheless, there are professional roulette players who make good money playing roulette on an every day basis. What is their secret? How a human being may outplay the most perfect mathematical machine?
It their recent publication, the physicists from MIFP
Alexey Kavokin, Alexandra Sheremet and Mikhail Petrov
present a theory of a realistic non-ideal roulette where probabilities of realisations of different numbers slightly deviate. They propose a simple strategy that exploits the non-ideality of the roulette and makes its expected return positive for the gambler.
For more details see Bunching of numbers in a non-ideal roulette: the key to winning strategies

A Historic Experiment Redesigned
A Historic Experiment Redesigned
MIFP Members Sven Hoefling and Alexey Kavokin
discuss in Nature the remarkable new observation by the group from Dortmund: giant Rydberg excitons with the size as large as 2 micrometers have been observed in transmission spectra of natural crystals of copper oxide. This experiment redesignes the historic experiment of 1952 which allowed Evgenii Gross and Nury Karryjew to observe Wannier-Mott excitons for the first time.
Nobel Prize for Physics
The Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to
I. Akasaki, H. Amano and S. Nakamura
for the development of blue Light Emitting Diodes based on GaN.
While the revolutionary technological advances in this area have been made in Japan in 1980s-1990s, the fundamental properties of GaN based heterostructures have been thoroughfully studied in Europe by MIFP Members.
Bernard Gil (CNRS, Montpellier, France) was one of the first to fully appreciate importance of wurtzitic crystals for semiconductor lighting. In his seminal papers:
- "Internal structure and oscillator strengths of excitons in strained alpha-GaN", (B. Gil and O. Briot, Phys. Rev. B55, 2530 (1997))
- "Optical anisotropy of excitons in strained GaN epilayers grown along the [10(1)over-bar-0] direction", (B. Gil and A.Alemu, Phys. Rev. B56, 12446 (1997))
- "Valence-band physics and the optical properties of GaN epilayers grown onto sapphire with wurtzite symmetry", (Bernard Gil, Olivier Briot, and Roger-Louis Aulombard, Phys. Rev. B 52, R17028(R) (1995))
he has started systematic research on excitons in GaN.
In 1998, together with Alexey Kavokin, Bernard has proposed GaN-based microcavities for strong coupling applications:
- "GaN microcavities: Giant Rabi splitting and optical anisotropy"
(A. Kavokin and B. Gil, Appl. Phys. Lett., 72, 2880 (1998))
This work has stimulated a multinational research effort on realisation of GaN-based polariton lasers in the framework of
"CLERMONT"
,
"CLERMONT2"
,
"CLERMONT4"
network projects, which has been crowned by a success of the group of MIFP member Jeremy Baumberg (Southampton, Cambridge) in 2007:
- "Room temperature polariton lasing in semiconductor microcavities"
(S. Christopoulos et al , Phys.Rev. Lett., 98, 126405 (2007))
Bernard Gil involved many groups in the research of nitrides. He has published two text-books and hundreds of research papers on this topic.
Celebrating the
Nobel Prize of Akasaki-Nakamura-Amano
we also pay tribute to the important contributions of
Bernard and his colleagues
to the research on group III nitrides.
MIFP congratulates
Profs. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura with the
Nobel Prize for Physics 2014!
Many of us have strong collaboration links with the present Nobel winners.

Tatiana Shubina and Alexey Kavokin with Professor Amano on
Mie resonances, infrared emission and bandgap of InN can be found here:
