John Mandel interview
No full textInterview with John Mandel, a survivor of Nazi Holocaust of the Jews, by Charlene Green. The transcript is prepared from the interview and European spellings regularized for consistency.An interview with John Mandel, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Charlene Green. John Mandel was born in 1927? in Munkacs, Czechoslovakia. After the Hungarian annexation of the area in 1938, John and his family suffered increasing persecution in the Hungarian regime. The family was deported to Birkenau in May 1944. John's mother, sister and two younger brothers were gassed upon arrival and John was separated from his father and another brother when he was transferred to Auschwitz I. After about seven months in Auschwitz I, John was transferred to Mauthausen then to Melk and finally to Ebensee (both sub-camps of Mauthausen), where he was liberated by the American Army in spring, 1945. After liberation, John went to the Displaced Persons Camp at Gabersee and in 1946, he emigrated to the United States.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/3/mandel4.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/4/mandel3.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/5/mandel2.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/6/mandel1.wavhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50625/8/Mandel.pd
Beauty or money? Statistical analysis
No full textThere are many studies investigating relationship between paintings' meta information (author, age, etc.) and their prices, however, there is limited research on how people's aesthetic perception of paintings is related to their prices. To bridge this gap, we designed a website (pollart1000.com) collecting survey responses on people's opinions regarding aesthetic values of paintings; survey and data were complemented with price information. Comprehensive statistical analysis of that data is presented, including scoring of the best and worst works, correlations between variables, typology of respondents, and more. The results quantify relationships between aesthetic values and art prices. Particularly, we showed that aesthetic preference is inclined to figurative and innovational rather than to abstract art and that relations between price and aesthetic values are rather weak except of special cases

Leonard Mandel Symposium
No full textImmediately following the Eighth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics, a symposium was held at the University of Rochester on Saturday the 16th of June 2001 in celebration of the life and career of Leonard Mandel. In the symposium, presentations were made by several of Professor Mandel’s former Ph. D. students. Here are the manuscripts that followed from these talks
Atomic Hong Ou Mandel experiment (Orale)
No full textInternational audienceThe quantum theory has introduced physicists to two major counter-intuitive concepts. On the one hand, there is wave-particle duality, which means that objects normally described as particles can also behave as waves, while entities primarily described as waves, such as light, can behave as particles. This revolutionary idea nevertheless relies on concepts borrowed from classical physics, either waves or particles evolving in an ordinary space-time. On the other hand, entanglement can lead to interferences between the amplitudes of multi-particle states, which happen in Hilbert space and have no classical counter-part. This fundamental feature has of course been strikingly demonstrated by the violation of Bell’s inequalities. There is however, a conceptually simpler situation in which the interference between two-particle amplitudes entails a behavior impossible to describe by any classical model. This is the celebrated Hong Ou and Mandel experiment, in which two photons arriving simultaneously in the input channels of a beam-splitter always emerge together in one of the output channels. This effect has been extensively used to characterize the quality of non-classical light sources. In Palaiseau our group has realized a close analog to the Hong Ou Mandel experiment using atoms. I will discuss the experiment and comment on prospects for extending our methods to other, traditionally optical experiments such as the violation of Bell's inequalities with atoms
